@kolio123 I got a better pic of the 2630 with the fork on it.

I may finally be done hauling bales for this year. Not entirely sure yet.

Nice picture 👍

Just curious, since he didn't buy one with a front attacthment option, can you still put one on it? (If there is not something on there to do that, I wouldn't want to unless you plan on keeping it on. Because that could hurt the value of the tractor maybe? I am not a tractor expert or even close the average guy that knows about tractors.)

Yea it can have something on the front. I have mentioned it to my dad but he ain't sure yet

Wow, the 2630 pics brings me back to my childhood. My dad had the same tractor but with a front push bar and front attachment. The hood pic reminded me of fueling up in the morning, surrounded by the smell of diesel and morning dew. Great little tractor, thanks for the memories. 👍

The 2630 is one of those tractors you don't see every day. In fact they were only made for two years in a separate factory in Dubuque Iowa. A brand new one in 1975 cost $11,000 dollars and came standard with a 4.5 ltr 4-cycle diesel engine.

Just something I though you would find interesting

That is interesting. I wish we still had it, I pretty much grew up standing on the side step. If I ever find a picture I'll post it up.

Yea I expanded it to include pretty much anything non-motor vehicle related (but still driveable). You get the idea

Hey its been a while, but I just wanted to share some pics I got today of some classic tractors.

John Deere (B?)

John Deere BR

Little Ford 8N

Minneapolis Moline

A rusty Farmall

And yet another BR

Ford stole the 8N!

These are pictures of my Dad's '48 8N.

It was actually his dad's tractor. When his family sold the farm, the tractor was sold as well. About 5 years ago he found it (2nd picture), and bought it and restored it.

I don't think he was actively looking for it, but my parents live about 5 miles from where his farm used to be. I think he just saw it one day, and knew the family that bought most of their farm equipment.

Very cool story. 👍

I just love it when people end up getting something back that started in their family. Just a cool thing.
