Tractor Guys

These fellas are volunteers from the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum, Vista, CA. They drive and repair the antique tractors from the museum, like the one shown, that are in service at the Carlsbad Flower Fields. The tractors are used to pull wagons full of visitors around the the fields, and the proceeds from the rides are a significant source of funding for the museum.

With a touch of antique tones, this could very well be 60 years ago. An awesome find. V

Antique? In my younger years there was an IH model H or M on every farm. Fine capture. v

Excellent shot of these three tractor experts. I like how they are huddled around the old international harvester. It would be fun to ride through these wonderful flower fields for sure. V

This was probably the most common tractor in the fields back when I was young (the 1950's). A reall neat shot, Nick. V

That is good to know in case I ever make it there, which I would like to. Two great themes in one place - flowers and tractors. Excellent shot here that is so compelling in this crisp B&W interpretation. ~BV~

This is a really nice candid of these volunteer!

they look like real characters, as does the old tractor....seems a worthwhile mutual help arrangement for both parties..

What an interesting group, looking like just the kind of men who would be intimately familiar with antique tractors. A wonderful candid of this trio.

How nice of them to volunteer time and knowledge. Good framing for the one in the center."V"
