Going to the local car show....

Loaded up the '35 F12 atop the '48. Headed to the local car show. I do like the old iron. I also put another chain on, it all protected with old fire hose.

Two beautiful pieces of old iron! I don't really follow what you said above the pic. Are you saying you added another chain in addition to the one in the picture? I don't blame you. Not much "wiggle room" there in case things loosen up. Have fun at the show.

Wow! That's beautiful.
Be sure to take lots of pictures at the show and share them with us.

Quite the display you will have. Should generate some eye ***** in route and foot traffic once there.

Agree with all the above! I'm going to put my '54 Farmall on my '56 F500 when the truck is done and bring the combo to shows. Love this!

Nice!

I've pondered having magnetic Oliver signs made for my F-2 for those rare times I take my tractor to a tractor show (so far that is never...).

Those two go together very nicely, especially with the door art.

Good luck at the show. I suspect you'll draw a crowd if for no other reason than to ask how you got the tractor on there!

Get ready to talk, and talk, and talk some more, because every body there is going to want all the particulars on those two beautifully restored pieces of Americana. Nice job, they are absolutely beautiful.
