Farmall Cub, saved from road art

I found this Farmall Cub sitting on the side of the road, one day while at work. Everybody said that it was nothing more than junk or yard art. I brought it home and let it sit for about 7 years before I even touched it. One day I began working on it, got it running and put it in the Cotton Gin Festival Parade.

Then I brought it back home and tore it apart again to paint it. Half way through painting I had to have gallbladder surgery, so while I was out of work recovering my wife would move the heavy parts for me and I would paint them. Such a blast to see what it looks like now to what it did when I brought it home. My daughter has named it Otis because of the book. Now it goes to shows and parades all over.
