Ryan's Farmall M Tractor

It was about a year ago that Ryan wrapped up restoring his grandfather's 1947 Farmall M tractor. We haven't had a chance to take photos of the tractor and the hard workers behind it until now. Here's a collection of photos I took of Ryan, Jim Krier and "The M". Jim is Ryan's best friend's Dad and was the mechanic and brains behind this restoration project. He put in lots of hours on this tractor with Ryan to get it back up and running. As you can tell from the "before" photos, the tractor was in pretty rough condition when it entered his shop. Ryan appreciates all that Jim did to make this dream of his come true! I'm proud of Ryan and all the work he did to bring the tractor back to life. We joke that "The M" is our firstborn because of the work and money put into it ;) Kidding aside, it is something we plan to keep in our "family" for a long, long time. If Ryan's grandpa was here today, I bet he'd be pretty proud of it just like his grandson is!
