The Derby winner American Pharaoh,July 2015.

I went with my Buddy yesterday to Shelbyville Indiana to buy a combine and in the process got an education on antique tractors.The most impressive was a 1913 Rumely Oil pull.After we all went out for lunch we came back and they fired that bad boy up.

Here's a few others.

Roger, those are some rare Tractors. I like the Hi-Crop John Deere 4010

Larry

Larry he had some great old tractors.I only took photos of a small sample.That 730 hi-crop was I believe he said was 1 of 3.It is a diesel with a gas pony motor. He is in the business of restoring tractors and has a full replacement part business.Really nice folks.

Here's an old Schrade on one of my Stanley compass planes.

Right leg fell in this freaking hole in a Guadalajara sidewalk on Friday.
Jacked up both of my knees and my wrist.
Infrastructure is terrible around here. A lot of death traps lurking around.
A lot of crazy things like it I could post to this thread that you see around here

If I may ask what is a compass plane used for? Never heard of one.

Lemme Google that for you (since I didn't know either) ....

Woodworking, used to plane long, sweeping curves. Furniture, carriage-making and ship-building.

EDIT 'ol jerryd beat me to it

Royal, you did good. You added information that I didn't.

Just to note, they can be adjusted to plane outside radius as well as inside radius.
Really a very nice tool.
Thanks for answering Rays question for me guys.

Roger, those are some great old tractors! Is that someone's private collection?

If you're ever near Union City, TN, the Discovery Park of America there has a great collection of tractors and farm equipment. Also a lot of other stuff as well, including a great antique car collection. It's worth a day there to see it all. Here's a few pictures. They also have a Rumely Oil Pull tractor on display, among many others.
