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 am in NY. Richard and I got to do some flying, fantastic weather. We went from Greene, Norwich, Hamiliton, Sidney, back to Greene. Lots of fun. I got to meet up with my old flight instructor. That was great seeing him. He just sold the plane I originally learned how to fly. The sawmill is currently setup and running. My neighbor is bringing over some logs to slice up this afternoon.
