Vintage Tractor, 06/16/2019

This vintage tractor is parked at a field entrance near the intersection of Alder Avenue and 130th Street in Monona County near Sloan, Iowa.

It looks like it served its use and the farmer parked it at the field entrance as a display piece.

The tractor as a wooden box attached to the front that may have served as a custom built ballast box that may have held heavy stones to keep the front of the tractor on the ground when it was being used by the farmer.

It is unknown what the year make and model of the tractor is but it was well used.
