Plowin’ the garden

Here I am plowin’ the garden at the old place in Hayesville. I’m guessing this was about 1980. This is Grandpa Echelberger’s old Ford Jubilee tractor. Grandpa had that thing for years,I even have a photo somewhere of dad on the tractor when he was a kid. Dad got a lot of use out of this thing…he would go around in the spring and plow peoples gardens for them and in the winter would plow them out when we would get a ton of snow. That old tractor sure did come in handy. My cousin Gary has it now and it’s still goin’ strong.
