Annual Family Photo on our Ford

Every year at Thanksgiving, our family gathers at our farm. As part of our tradition, we take a picture with all our grandchildren on my 1952 Ford 8N. This past year was the first Thanksgiving with our newest grandson, Gabriel. The tractor has always been in our family pictures, and we have a wall full of our annual family pictures in the house, everyone with the old Ford in them.

The tractor is mostly original, and still has the 6 Volt positive ground starting system. I keep it maintained and running with parts from our local Steiner parts supplier.

One day, I am sure one of the grandchildren will want the tractor, and I will be glad to pass it along to the next generation of antique tractor lovers.

Thank you Steiner for keeping part of our history alive!
