Two men work side by side in an open field, bent over the engine of a tractor, with the bare expanse of farmland stretching behind them. Shots like this show how farm machinery was kept running in the field rather than hauled to a shop, since a broken part on a working day could halt the whole operation. Repairs of this kind usually meant improvising with tools carried on the machine or in a toolbox, and they reflect the self-reliance that marked rural work through the early twentieth century, when tractors were replacing horses on many farms. The open setting also reminds us how far a tractor could be from help when something went wrong.
