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

I bought a new jeep to replace the old jeep. It is a 1998 Grand Cherokee with only 160k Miles. The 1987 model I have has just short of 300k miles. Some of the parts will be compatible. I still have to figure out the future of parts the 87. Otherwise, it will be going to scrap $$. I put the new jeep on the trailer and towed it back from Rochester. My light duty truck did ok.

I will be moving the ag tires to the new jeep this week.

Deer season opens this weekend. Greg and Dennis are coming down. They are all excited.
