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

We were up in Boston this weekend. I needed to rescue a bunch of antique radios and test equipment. We packed up 35 boxes of stuff for the movers to bring to Georgia. A much smarter move than driving the truck up and back down. It is 16 hours each way, it would have been a much larger commitment.

Here is a pic I took a couple months back of a fire truck greeting us on the ramp. No we weren't on fire thankfully. It was the last flight for the captain before retirement. The other pic is Jackson county Airport, Georgia.

A pic from Curitiba Brazil a couple of weeks ago. I always seem to see cars upside down in Brazil.

We were up in Rochester and Berkshire, NY. It was nice to spend time on the farm. We had half a day in Rochester, here is the quick video.
