Nice day in the Country

Post by JamesD » Sun Oct 03, 2021 8:06 pm

Beautiful day for a little spin in the country. There's a dirt road down a few miles from my house with some corn on the side. Tried to do my best Steve Jelf impression but I don't have a pair of bib overalls! As you can see the T is a bit tight for my 6'6" but it's still fun to drive. Haven't sorted out my generator issue yet so I'm just driving on Mag with the generator grounded out until I can get a new brush plate installed.

So fess up. How many ears of corn ended up back in the bed? 😊

none! it's feed corn and I don't have any livestock. I suppose I could grind it into cornmeal but then I'd have to find a mill. Hmmm, maybe another project! :D

There's a project for you: a mill grinding corn, powered by a belt from the Model T.
A classic tractor show display.

I'm about 6-3 and yep! These T's are bit snug. My Runabouts ain't bad but we settle in comfy.
Neat express pickup! Quiet roads and a slow-down ride with a T. Magic.
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated
