Big Wheel – Texture Tuesday ‘Cracker Jack’ eDition

September 6, 2011 by Barb 14 Comments

At a nearby farm there is a huge collection of tractors lined up in a pasture.  I couldn’t get close and I would never trespass (unless I thought I wouldn’t get caught) so I had to really zoom in on this fella. You can’t see it here but it has a 55 on the front so I’m assuming it is a Massey Harris 55.

He was a big wheel in his day.

When Massey Harris released the M-H 55 in 1946 it was the biggest wheel tractor on the market. The tractor delivered nearly 60 horse power.. options included the choice of Gasoline or Diesel however in the nine years of production it was only offered in standard tread form.

I’m joining the fun over at Kim Klassen Cafe. She graciously gave us this fab new texture ‘Cracker Jack’ which I have used on my creation.

Sorry – I had to re-post this because my linky didn’t work over at the Cafe the first time . . . it seems that when I have Kim’s Texture Tuesdays button already in my post when I post it – something goes haywire . . .

My recipe:
