Rusty!

Seen outside Oldies Marketplace last weekend:

Tractor

Anyone know what it was used for?

Looks like something to cut hay, so that's my guess.

I think it was an early prototype for the pedicabs.


It didn't quite work out.

Ari, you must be a city kid. Gillian is right; it's a mower. That bar with all the teeth is on a hinge. It flips up for storage, down (horizontal) to mow.

Its a 19th century nose hair trimmer. Men were really men back in those days.

Thanks folks. I could tell it was a tractor, I'm not that removed from farming life, but the tooth-like contraption was a mystery.

Looks like spending my formative years on a farm finally paid off. Except there is no money involved. Figures.
