Ford 8N at home in Michigan

My father bought this tractor in 1971 when I was nine years old.  It is a 1948 Ford 8N.  I mowed grass and plowed snow with this tractor until I went to college.  I purchased it from my dad in 2013 and now it mows grass in Michigan and collects sap in the woods for maple syrup.  From nine to sixty-two and she has never let me down.
