It runs!!!

We finally got our new tractor running. Well, it isn't new, it's a 1957 John Deere 720, but it's new to us. We got this tractor in trade from a neighbor and it had sat for quite awhile. It wouldn't start and Chris rebuilt the carb and put it back together yesterday and it started!! He was so excited and proud of himself.

This tractor is much bigger than our other tractor. When we bought our land, the guy who farmed it before was supposed to come out and get his implements. Well, he never did, so we inherited them. But they are so large, we didn't have anything to pull them with. Now all we need is a bailer and to find out if the swather that was also left behind works. We can then cut our own alfalfa instead of having a local farmer come over and do it. (I'm pulling for just getting goats and letting them eat it!!)
