The year is 1971 or 1972.  The place is Wallpack Center, NJ.  This clip was reproduced from an old 'Super 8' film  of Gary Treible plowing with a DB 57560 Super Power tractor.  Gary's dad was given the tractor by a neighbor who worked at a Sears store.  It had been traded in, and was considered of little value at that time.  The neighbor knew that Gary's dad had a DB that the family used at home, so he gave the traded in tractor to him.  The film shows Gary as a young man plowing with this tractor.  In the background is Gary's great uncle John, the owner of the garden.

Thanks to Gary Treible for digitizing the film and allowing me permission to use it.
