  • What do you think of the condition of this tractor?
    One of the stars at the 2018 Lebanon Valley indoor classic tractor expo was this 1917 International Harvester "slope nose" Model 8-16. Classic Tractor Fever Host Brian Baxter caught up with owner Elmer Gockley who shared the history and how he came to own this over 100 year old tractor in beautiful original condition.

    He was really forward thinking when he saved it back in the 50's, almost no one thought twice about keeping any of that old iron.

    I just put a handle on a pitchfork that must be at least from that time. It looks like cast iron, four tines and is somewhat small. I use it to turn over a small compost station (pitchforks are not actually good for leaves since it pokes thru and the leaves stick, but it is better than a shovel and is good enough for what I'm doing).
