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

Antartica weather Today the weather is a lot better at McMurdo in Antartica than it is on the farm. It is +34F and calm in Antarctica. In Berkshire it is 0F with 40 mph winds and blowing snow. The jeep ran out of gas out back. I am going to take an jaunt back there to get it going again. Click pic for video
