The only antique tractor I have is the one I use every day, an old 165 Massey diesel. 1968 era, but I like to think of it as a my new model. It was a step up from my John Deere Peddle tractor.

1963 Ford 2000 Select-O-Speed
270 Leyland
If I ever had the time to get them both right I would have most chores covered. The 270 Leyland has a 4/98NT normally-aspirated diesel that is the tractor equivalent to the Cummins - back in the 70s the local dealer told us to get the irrigation system under pressure then open the 270 wide open and back off 50 rpm and if it ever blew he would replace the motor for free. We ran them just like that for many hours pumping water to the tobacco - we even fueled them under power. Kinda sold me on using the proper diesel for the job, hence the CTD.
I keep my eyes out for deals on tractors but really don't have a need for what I have, much less any additions. But then, one can never have enough tractors.

Collector is going a bit too far in my case, but I do have this:
9N with an 8N engine, therefore dubbed Franken9. I bought it to run a bush hog on our little 40 acre plot. Of course, now I need to get a bush hog for that little plan to work.
Edit: No, that tractor is not tied to the trailer with a strap
, even though it looks like it. That's the extra 15 feet of the ratcheting strap that's tied to avoid flapping around in the breeze.
