question about the tool box on the 40, was that not a cat box? the reason i ask is i have one just like it, it looks that same as a regular cat tool box only deeper.

These tractors look at home with the pump house and windmill in the back ground nice place to get together

Sorry I can't load the pics right

I had heard about that ten with the post hole digger, but never seen it. The patina is perfect, the complicated attachment is perfect and the tractor is perfect. I just love it. The only thing missing is I wasn't there to see it in person. Maybe next time, or maybe Rod will bring it down to Santa Margarita!

I love the Best Forty and the other tractors, too, but man that Ten is right up my alley!

Thanks for posting,

Pete.

Heard about the meet. Was down at San Diego. It's this weekend I'm up in the bay area. Great looking Iron.
