Interesting Tractor
My wife and I are on a 4 day trip to Boise, ID. It is a wine tasting trip to the Snake River wine country. The trip is sponsored by the Hill, AFB Morale, Welfare and Recreation department. We visited 7 wineries in two days. At one of them they had a tractor that I have never seen. Anyone have any idea what it is? Farmer?

Re: Interesting Tractor
JS, get to taste some Frost Wine, it is the wrong name, but just as the grapes freeze and burst a bit, the water runs out and they are full of sugar.
Pickers are on call for those nights, to get out and pick when it happens.
Enjoy, and yes when reading your post, Farmer, came to first thought on the tractor. Looks like one used for wet fields for potato harvest.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

It is called Ice Wine and no did not get to try any. You are correct about the harvest. It is a Riesling so white and very sweet.ERLover wrote:JS, get to taste some Frost Wine, it is the wrong name, but just as the grapes freeze and burst a bit, the water runs out and they are full of sugar.

Re: Interesting Tractor
I'm far from a tractor expert, and am likely wrong on this one. But I grew up on a family farm in the 1960's, and my dad had a smallish red Massey Ferguson tractor. The OEM styling cues on that one strike me as similar to those happy-yet-dim memories, albeit a decade or two older. As for the weird fairing thing, and the rear-fender infill, I am pretty sure they are home-brewed.
Farmer, am I warm?

Enjoy, some of the best wines I had were in the upper NW and when skiing up in NW Canada from local valley wineries.

Re: Interesting Tractor
I think Dennis is close. It is either a Massey Furgeson or a Massey Harris. Vintage 40's. I believe the "fenders" was for working corn fields.

Re: Interesting Tractor
It looks like an international The light switch is for an international and the hood is that of an international. International uses a hood and gas tank that are one piece like that one. That fender style is called an orchard or vinyard style fender. They use them a lot in southern mich in blue berry fields and fruit orchards. The fenders move the vines out of the was gently to avoid knocking the berries or fruit off the plants.
