A rusty blue Ford tractor, seen head-on with its headlights and grille, makes this picture stand out from the usual views of machines parked in a field. The blue paint is a useful clue: Ford tractors of the mid-20th century were often painted in a deep blue, and by the time many of them reached farm yards decades later the finish had weathered to a patchy, rust-flecked surface. Ford's small, inexpensive tractors helped electrify rural work across the United States from the 1930s onward, and their simple, rounded grilles and round headlights became familiar features of American farm life. Close attention to the front end shows how a working machine can carry the marks of its years in use.
