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

Interstate 85 in Atlanta collapsed on the evening of March 30, 2017. Three sections of both the Northbound and the Southbound road had to be replaced. It was completed by May 14th 2017. We took a drive to see for myself and flew the drone for some pictures. It is indeed open and I am amazed at the cleanliness and completeness of the work. Amazing. It took less than 2 months working around the clock. Well done. If we were in NY it would have taken at least a year.
