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

If you have any doubt of whether Upstate NY is dead, watch the video of the Irondequoit/Carousel Mall. Thanks Governor Cuomo! Failures in the news just today in Rochester NY. 600-plus-jobs-wny-falls-through garden-and-home-penfield-has-closed whatever-happened-ridge-road-station
