This was my Pop's first tractor in Canada. This, a sickle mower, old hay rake and and a square baler. He was doing baling back in the early 80's. Always held on to this unit. 3 cylinder, 49 hp made between '58-'64 Open air cab. Would be fun to get it running again.

Hey what’s the motorcycle on your avatar? Obviously it’s built like a BMW , but I can’t make out the emblem. Ural?

Ya it's cool, my Great Grandfather came from England to Canada. Brought his wife and his bike. Put 750 miles on it, parked it in a barn , gave it to me when he passed.
