The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

Image
With tribute to USDA and other government furnished information of the post war advice converting Model-Ts to tractors --"Doodle Bugs". I towed the resurrected rear-ended 2013 Nissan Leaf up to Berkshire, NY from Duluth, GA. It is now in field trials as a farm machine in Upstate NY. Despite the lack of current ground clearance it is performing well in dirt and mud. I will be skidding firewood very soon. https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/08/doodlebug-1923-ford-model-t-tractor/ https://www.thehenryford.org/collections/explore/artifact/188731?AssetId=THF811118
It is interesting to note that I last Blogged on Thanksgiving two years ago. I have made it through to the other side. I think it really took that long too. My new job at the Raymond Corporation has been happening for two years now and it has been exciting. I feel as thoufgh I am starting to relax a little. I have turkey in my belly (as last time I blogged) but practically everything else is different.
