Ford 8N, our little work horse

I bought this 1952 8N Ford in 1994 and it’s been a little work horse, from mowing, to pulling the manure spreader, and even grading an arena for our girls to practice with their show horses it’s never failed us. All 3 of our girls learned to drive on this tractor and now our grandkids are driving it, and even one of the grandkids enjoys tractor pulling with it. Hopefully one day the kids will cherish “Nelly” as much as I do
