There's a good story with this photo for antique tractor lovers
The Icon took this photo at this year's antique tractor show at Maple Crest on Sept. 24.
Not being an antique tractor aficionado, quite honestly, we didn't know one tractor from the next.
Until T.R. Steiner asked for a copy of the photo. Here's his comment:
"That particular tractor is very rare with less than 200 made. It was specifically designed for eatable bean production and only sold new in Michigan.
"The John Deere guys were going nuts over it. It was also a very fresh restoration. The Maple Crest show was the first time it was exhibited in public."
