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

Well the weather got cold and rainy again. It is too cold for June. It is in the low 40s today and rainy as well as windy. Ukk. I went to the rochester Hamfest yesterday. It was pretty much a wash out. I didn't find anything I was interested in really. I came home early. Here are a couple of pics of a couple of my friends, Doug McManus and Kevin Carey, WB2QMY
