Family Farmall Passed On

This is a picture of me driving my 460 diesel Farmall.   My father-in-law bought this Farmall tractor in 1964 and kept it until he died in 1998.  It was his favorite tractor because of the fast hitch and being a diesel.  It could run a week on a tank of fuel.  I inherited the tractor when he died.  

We sold the farm in 2007 but I kept the tractor. I used to mow my 20 acres. 10 years ago my nephew started farming, he was my father-in-law’s oldest grandson.  He needed it more than I did so I gifted it to him so that it would stay in the family. It’s appoximately 62 years old and should make it to 100.
