That ephemera was perfect for this adorable layout. That tractor does look like new now! The man that restored it is named Kimbell? Almost thought he was a relative until I saw how his name was spelled! LOL! Love all the tags...they're just perfect!
What a great story, photos and lo. I am so glad that the tractor was restored and is now in use again. It sounds like a family treasure. Love the EP ephemera together with your wonderful touches of doodling.
Jerry found a man named Mr. Kimbell to restore his granddaddy Kimbrel's tractor. Granddaddy Kimbrel bought it new in 1958 and used it for many years on his farm. Then it was handed down to Jerry's daddy and he used it for many years and also taught Jerry how to use it. He had it until spring 200 when it turned over on him (but that's another story). Then it sat at Jerry Aunt's house for several years, rusting away. Jerry got it back from his aunt and uncle and had it restored. It looks almost new again! These pics were taken the day Mr. Kimbell brought it home January 19, 2017) and was showing Jerry what all had been replaced and refreshing his memory on how it all worked. Now Jerry uses it to plow up our little garden spot...
The edges of the photos are sanded. The pps for the bg are all scraps from my stash. The green was cut using a pair of grass edge scissors. I did a little inking on some of the tags (from EP Down on the Farm). The "dirt" at the bottom was just doodled with a brown pen. The little tractor is a 3D sticker. Thanks so much for stopping by :)
