The only Tractor graveyard I know of is in Munford, Alabama. Here you will find acres of old tired tractors gathered for a final rest. Also a great place to find that part for your tractor thats not on the shelf any longer. This example of a F12 workhorse of years past reminded me of some advertisements Ive seen in newspapers, Tractor OBO, runs good, needs tires, $2,500.00 or best offer. Yes, even in this shape you will find someone that wants to restore and preserve these great machines of the past. After drawing this picture I stopped in at the Tractor place in Munford and did find that it had been purchased and is being restored today. Long lives the tractor that made farming productive enough to produce cash crops and feed more than one family.
