True to many old tractors that have weathered the elements,this old John Deere has lost it’s color along the way. This tractor sits on my son-in-laws farm west of Barrhead, Alberta.Canon A520

Great find ,is that part of a hay sweep with the long clyinders well done like the pile of home cut lumber great job Cheers John
Hi John. My son-in-law says they are just rams for the front end loader that attached to the bucket or hay fork. He never heard his father refer to them as as a hay sweep. I’ll pass the compliment on the well done woodpile along as it will be appreciated. Thank you for comments. Leslie
