The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

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 definitely have too many projects open. I am trying to focus on completing some so I can get back to the mundane ones of fixing tools and such. I made a rig to tow my canoe. The self-impossed rule is that I have to use stuff I already own, no trips to the store. It was good to get the MIG welder some use. Rev A worked fine. A few tweaks here are there and we will ride bikes (and canoe) over to the other neighborhood lake.

We are back from our trip up-north. The farm is good. We drove 2200 miles in 4.5 days. The trailer was loaded the whole time.
