I'm really happy this guy brought his camera to the 2009 Antique Steam and Gas Engine show in Vista, California. Fascinating to see these dinosaurs of mechanics on display. I've actually seen a few of these models in person. I visited Boise Idaho once and at the convention center in town there they have 20 or so tractors on display around the parking garage.
I love tractors because there's beauty in their utilitarianism. Their engineering is on display with little attempt to hide it under an aerodynamic fuselage. These things are meant to do a job, and a not very glamorous job at that, and they look the part.
