Farmall Super M
Owned by: Tammi Greenwald
Beecher, Illinois
Tammi painted her Super M pink to aid in her efforts to raise awareness of the need for better breast cancer detection and research. She points out that breast cancer is not a concern for women only, men are susceptible as well. In men, the cancer is especially virulent and fast growing.
The Pink Tractor has been in many parades and tractor rides in the area. Tammi is planning some long distance drives to help raise money for the cause. Tammi and "Pink" are shown here at the Half Century Of Progress III in 2007 where she particiapted in the Tractor Ride and the tractor pull.

and your fellow tractor enthusiasts might get a kick out of this: I'm not a tractor man but my friend Charlie Schroeder is. He recently restored an International Harvester TD18a (a BIG job!). He told me the story of his ordeal as he tried to scavenge and recreate old parts and arcane tractor knowledge.... and wouldn't you know, I came up with a song about it. You can hear it at: http://www.garageband.com/artist/DennisDoyle Click on "OLD TRACTOR" and you can see a picture of the old treaded beast AND hear an MP3 of the song. I hope you like it.
