This was Mr. Wayne "Papaw" Rudd's beloved tractor. He plowed fields, worked gardens, and mowed yards for decades with this tractor. Over the last few years the tractor was laid to rest as Papaw finished his time here. About 6 months ago, I looked at the old tractor in its poor, tiresome state and decided to bring new life back to it. While it would have been cool to do a full restore on the tractor, I felt it would be a lot better to dedicate to the memory of the man that spent an unrecorded lifetime of work on this very piece of equipment. The current state of the tractor will be preserved with a patina finish. This is a short video showing the work of several people finding the missing pieces needed and bringing this piece of iconic history back to life. It is with love for a man that did for so many, and asked nothing in return, that we were able to make this happen. Papaw will forever be missed.
Feel free to checkout Papaw as he gets his tractor ready for a day of work. • Ford Workmaster Tractor
