Material Wear Reference Pictures (175 pictures)

I'm happy to share with you a collection of pictures of a tractor, a trailer, and a random piece of machinery from my parents farm in Wyoming.

My parents have an assortment of old machinery that they use for plowing, cultivating, and harvesting their fields, and I had the chance to take a few pictures of those machines. I am fascinated by the amount of wear these machines have gone through, and they are an amazing way to see how time and lots of hard work degrade different materials.

This pack of photos is mainly (however, feel free to use the photos in any way you wish). You can see that some parts of the machines have been repainted, repaired, and replaced, and different parts have worn over time. There are photos of worn metal, rubber, plastic, glass, insulated hoses, wood, stickers, and more.

Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope these pictures are useful to you. Please forgive the imperfections as some pictures ended up overexposed or out of focus - I thought they might still come in handy to someone besides myself. Enjoy!
