My brother Jon lives in Vermont with his family, and this is his Model A Ford doodlebug just finished restoring in the fall of 2006.
Many of these homemade tractors were made in the 1940's, when money was scarce, but old Fords plentiful.
This is how it looked when he first brought it home.
Here it is when he first got it cleaned up and running several years ago.
This is a photo of Jon and Mike driving on the woods roads at Jon's place in the country.
Jon is interested in gathering information on doodlebugs, and may write a book on them, so if you have any information you would like to pass along, or if you have some photos of doodlebugs, please send email to him, and he will be grateful.
