This is
NOT going in the sale, though I brought it home in the general barn cleanout. Around the time I was born or a little before, dad built a running kid-sized tractor. It wasn't in running shape through most of my growing-up years. It was given to a neighbor, and the matching trailer he built for it was sold for scrap (stupid stupid stupid) Many years ago, I retrieved it from the neighbor, and it has set in the barn ever since. It's definitely on my list to restore soon.

Below is a photo of the homebuilt alongside a newer (though still 20 years old) John Deere.
