Normally I only post photos I have taken myself,
both of these were taken by the MOTH
(Man Of The House).
No idea when, but I happened to have them on my computer,
and I thought you might like to see a picture of our tractor
even if it is driverless.

Is this a 'new' tractor? I don't recall your first one being a Volvo. I love the cudgel next to the starting handle - is that to make it go faster?
I'm not surprised the MOTH takes an interest in other fine moths.

It is our only tractor and has, as far as I know always been a Volvo, not that it does anything, I'm still the one that has to pull the plough;)
That would be the one that Lasse sealed up the split block with epoxy-resin after we got it started and brought it down the hill then? I'd got the idea that we thought it was an english marque, I've got a vague recollection that Lasse put the Volvo lables on later.
My sons would be green with envy!
Pat, would that be because MOTH has a wife who pulls the plough?
Not sure about the make Crowbard, I'll check with the MOTH. I think the "cudgel" is to beat off the bears with, or to make me push harder;)
Crowbard, it is the one you rolled down the hill,and it's a Volvo T 31 (or 33) circa 1952.
It must have been the very (simple)english electrical system that confused me. I think Lucas supplied the whole world with magnetos.
Thank you, Nea.
The moth is a Shaded Broad-bar, Scotopteryx chenopodiata. The specific name suggests that it has "goose feet"! It flies late June through August and its food plant is mainly clovers and vetches.
The tractor is delicious too, though I fear I do not know its scientific name or flight season or what it eats.
I appreciate that all the above may be more information than you really need.
Love
Jake
Thank you Jake, now I shall know what I'm looking at next time, a Shaded Broard-bar and I can see how it got its name.
