Today a little kit for a 1923 Hart-Parr saw mill tractor floated in, for my sawmills in my logging operation. I hope all the parts are there. It is part styrene and part cast metal, all sealed in little bags. From following my grandfather around the tractor exhibits at the State Fair, as a kid, and then attending some collectors' tractor events, I have seen steam and old gas tractors, and, like vintage cars, I prefer the little known makes. This is a gas tractor, but my grandfather had worked around steam traction engines. The instructions say Hart-Parr last made tractors in 1928. I would have thought I had seen some newer than that in shows, but I guess not.
