EARLY 1900S INDIAN MOTORCYCLE FANTASY PIECE
Incredibly unique, interesting and a lot of fun. This early motorcycle is reminiscent in design of an early Indian motorcycle. Jon rebuilt the motor, and he has actually driven it around his ranch several times. The frame is full of patina, the seat is leather as are the grips. Mounted to the frame is an early Indian Motorcycles Co. fire extinguisher. All in all, an awesome piece of functional art!

1940s ford n-series tractor
The Ford N-series tractors were a line of farm tractors produced by Ford between 1939 and 1952, spanning the 9N, 2N, and 8N models. The 9N was the first American-made production-model tractor to incorporate Harry Ferguson's three-point hitch system, a design still used on most modern tractors today. It was released in October 1939. The 2N, introduced in 1942, was the 9N with some improved details. The 8N, which debuted in July 1947, was a largely new machine featuring more power and an improved transmission. By some measures the 8N became the most popular farm tractor of all time in North America.
