Home-Built Trailer Helps Him Get Around Shows
My friend Jessie Allen and I like to attend a tractor show in Paducah, Ky. every year. After suffering a light stroke at 84 years old, he had difficulty walking for extended periods of time so I needed a way to get him around the show. My little home-built trailer did the trick. I built it from scrap steel and painted it red, which is the color of our favorite Farmall tractors. Jessie has restored a 1941 Farmall H and I’m restoring a 1947 Farmall B.
    The trailer has a padded seat and is properly finished off with a Farmall license plate. The photo shows it being pulled by a 1971 Montgomery Ward Gilson tractor that belonged to my father. (Wayne D. Lawrence, 265 Wilson Road, Water Valley, Ky. 42085 ph 270 355-9820)
