Found it! I hope someone else adopts this cache because it's still there and apart from a full log book it's in good shape. SL TFTC

To the bloke across the street, we were a couple of grown up kids mucking around on the tractor! Log book is full - but found some white space to sign!

Tftc,
Found this with no problems. Took the opportunity to pick it up whilst dropping a mate at morrisett station.
A lot older than my tractor. and definately not in as good a condition.

I love Tractor Caches... There should be more of them...
I love the hide and I must admit I had to use the hint otherwise I would of been there all day searching in the rain.
Thanks for a great cache.

Took me a while to find the oil level but once the thing was quickly in hand. No swaps, the hint made life a lot easier. Thanks Detourism.

Needed the clue to find this one. Even then this was a stain on my (lack of) mechanical knowledge.
WanderingAus wandered by on day 107 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find while circumnavigating Lake Macquarie.
My find No 828, TNLNSL. The log book is full, I would have replaced it but I couldn't see a safe place to leave the old one.

Mummy 'C' (me) and the 2 little 'C's were up this way visiting Daddy 'C' at work, so I planned on doing a few caches whilst in the neighbourhood. This was the first of four. Found it within minutes, signed log and put 3yr old 'C' up on the tractor. He loved it so much that it took me ages to convince him to come off. I think I'll have to take him back for another go!
We loved this one! Took a little hunting, but we finally got it. Geoson beat Dad to finding it. TNLNSL
What a great find. it is a very cute hide.found this cache on a day full of caching.
505 Because we were used to looking for something half this size we nearly missed it - makes a change from looking around a gun. TFTC Detourism
Found the tractor easily, but took a while to find the actual spot, until one wise goldfish decided to stick his hand in anyway... TFTC
spent about 20mins searching. neighbours were starting to become suspicous, so left empty handed.. will try again next time i'm in the area
Given that this is the closest unfound to my mums I just had to stop om my way from Miter 10 to get this inbetween Rain showers I wish we where getting some of it at home.TFTH
I wasn't comfortable parking too near the cache as I felt it would draw unwanted attention, so parked a little distance away. It was just as well as two neighbouring residents arrived home as I was searching. Took a little while to find, but it just gave me more of an excuse to examine some old machinery - always fun.
Great hide once we got rid of the wasps/ hornets we where able to get our hands on it. the wasp nest is now gone and the kids had a great play on the tractor. I think you can re activate this cache. TFTC The Ferriters
Looks like the cache may be gone. Will check it out soon.
Thanks to richlink for the heads up.

We always enjoy looking at old machinery, this one was particularly interesting as it was "ford" made in England, which must have been manufactured after Ford and Fergusson had their split up. It took a little while to find this one but it became clear when we decoded the hint. A nice hide.
Thanks detourism

took a while to get due to wasps around the tractor. But found it pretty quickly!
This was our fifth successful find of the day. Found the tractor easily and then just a quick look revealed the cache rather easily. No muggles about to contend with so this made it an easy find. TFTC.

Pulled into this cache on our way back from a day of caching. Clever caching of the cache despite the clue.
Took nothing (but was tempted by the Soduku) and left some pirate money.
Thanks for the cache. Had a bit of a ride on the tractor.

Some how don’t think oil will make this baby go
Probably won’t even budge, even under tow
You’d think the Fordson Major had done it’s dash
But no, this is the second Fordson geocache
So, if in Sydney, come take a peek
And another Fordson Major you can seek
What is this another micro on a piece of machinery and at 11pm at night I love this game/sport/habbit.
JABs.

You must wonder what the people across the road think. The old tractor has been there for a while and you get the odd person turn up or some kids play on it every now and then. All of a sudden, even odder people turn up and start examining the tractor intently then go all quite, then drive off just as quick. Easy find as part of the cache was exposing itself. May slide down all by itself?
Went to get this one in between ordering some take away and picking it up. Nice and easy.
So does Magnetic meen that it sticks to rust
found this with Super Snoop
Took Green tractor left with a big smile
Thanks for the Cache

This was a great one to intriduce for non-geocachers. The kids had a ball - although had to give them the clue - before they tore everything apart. They weren;t used to micro cache's - so good experience.
TFTC 0- been past this park hundreds of times and never really noticed the tractor.

Six_Stars left this one for the cadets, and they found it quickly. The beaming smiles told the tale! Took the blue gem, and left a bronze star.
1525 On circuitous way to Toronto from Taree for a 60th birthday party of Asho, and going to Hoppy's Muddy Lake, so just had to drop into this one. Thanks Detourism.
Good to see a few local cachers getting their wares out there.
Left 2 x Sudokus for an interested cacher
If I had been to the Muddy Lake I could have dropped off a coin, but just brought Idaho 2007 micro through. Bulfo4's jeep came for a look also - but no chance of it fitting.
PS. Like subydazz said, where's the oil. Found the cache first!

This was a really nice spot for a cache. Thanks. Grabbed Kansas Geocoin to drop off further down the coast.
Great micro cache. Thought I could be the ftf, but left it to the weekend. Guess the local cachers are getting a bit more serious. Will have to set a few local caches to keep interest alive.
[;D] This one was a great find for the geokids dead easy and they enjoyed playing around their as well.The cache box was in need of some repair so we were fortune enough to have on hand what it needed to do so.Dropped off a geocoin from kansas (tracking #: KS2W6E)hoping a traveller rather than a local can pick it up. Thanks Detourism.
Saw this hadn't been found yet so headed down as quick as I could (100+km from home), only to find homedg beat me to it! I'll claim another STF for me then
Had a tough time finding the dipstick!
Thanks for the clever cache. Found at 18:40.

Woo Hoo, FTF for me!
Felt a bit suss with the onlooking houses however the clever hide makes it easy for some sneaky searching.
Thanks for showing me this old machine and TFTC.
