1940 Farmall A

This is my Grandfather’s 1940 Farmall A. He purchased it secondhand in 1953 to work the 18 acres of land he and my Grandmother farmed and operated a roadside stand for decades. It has sat in the back of the barn since the late 1980s until recently, with the help of my wife’s nephew, I have been able to restore it to working condition and I now use it to mow the lawn on our property.
