Tractors have rough lives. They sit out in the weather, baking in the sun, choking on dust and rusting in the rain. During WWII replacing one was next to impossible as the war effort meant that new tractors and replacement parts were scarce. To solve this problem many creative farmers started converting old Model A and T Fords into makeshift tractors. Thus was born the “Handy Henry” or “doodlebug” tractor. The cars were usually chopped and various towing equipment, seats, tires and accessories
