Everything is so crammed together. Hard to get good picks.

Apparently it's a Jeep! Bought by Willys-Overland at one point.

Never have heard of the company. I like the way they did their metal wheel tread pattern.

Someone has added a rubber tire overlay to the steel wheels. This is an aftermarket modification.

What's even more interesting... [apparently] cast mouldboards. Never seen that before!

I know the man somewhat. He is the father in law of our mechanic at work. He has huge pull barns full of tractors. He buys, doesn't sell. He taught me a lot in a short period of time that day. Very, very knowledgeable. Obviously, a farmer. Can fix anything.

I actually did some macro shots of that. Still haven't got around to converting those files in the camera and downloading. I did planned projects that day and didn't stray. Steam in motion, pull horses, pull tractors, unusual iron, motorcycles, and signs. Unfortunately, I was too tired for the signs, got one or two, called it a day.

Interesting machine! Just saw and heard of it either. Reminds of Uncle's old tractor we restores with Fass fuel which gives about 1/2 mpg improvement.

Although the machine is interesting, black and white was not the best choice here IMO. Everything blends together with the lack of contrast in the images.

I can't help but wonder if the founders of the company came out of John Deere. It is also in Moline.

You tractor people ... lol. But I do like how you're filling the frame with the subject. You're goin' wide and getting close ... fill that frame! Nicely done.

Some crazy wine guy taught me that.
