| A Cane Tractor - a specialised high-lifted tractor
to drive above the cane. |

"The General"
a bit of an oddity as it is a 3 wheeler. |

Peter Vaughan (our local mechanic)
on an Allis-Chalmers Tractor. |

Local Dairy farmer Brian McEvilly
on a large McCormick "Farmall" | | |

And now for something less "mechanical" at least non-motorised.

| Celeste acts as the jockey on a "gig" |
And here is the full "horse" and "jockey" team. You might recognise the fancy trousers.
Same design as the shorts in yesterday's post.
Truly stylish, Bardy - long and short trousers - both truly striking.
Where do you get them? |

hey very cool, but the ones I was playng on worked too and did a lap of honour with what I suspect were the original drivers lol. Admittedly some of the tractors had this strange non-standard part that consisted of an old SPC tin to catch the oil lol

Hi Kirsten
Well, the Bullock Team (even more ancient tractors) needed the SPC tin underneath them too, but a very large tin.
Glad you liked my Tractors, though.
Cheers

My favourites are the old Fergies - the first vehicle I learnt to drive when I was about 12 years old......and I felt so grown-up!!
Thanks for the memories Denis
I love the old Fergies too.
Everyone does.
They are like FJ Holdens. Not much good, in reality, but RELIABLE. And that's what farmers want - something that will never let you down.
Glad you enjoyed the "memories".
Denis
