I missed the Datsun/Nissan connection completely.
Geeze .. I miss those Datsun cars.

Around 1970 - 1973 I had a paper route that supported my airplane model kit addiction, and after 2 years of pedaling, a 10 speed bike for my hilly route to replace my old red Schwinn and it's rapidly deteriorating Sturmey-Archer 3 speed hub. 4 or 5 other guys had routes in the area and we'd all hang around "The Box" - a plywood box with a hinged lid that the newspaper company dropped our bundles of papers in. 6 days a week we'd wait for Mr DeBennecasa in his faded blue Rambler wagon to deliver the bundles of papers. Some of the older guys who had sold their routes to us younger kids would sometimes show up in cars, do burnouts and provide other entertainment - like cigarettes, cherry bom6s and bottle rockets! One of them showed up in his dad's Datsun 2000 which made a huge impression on me. Just a beautiful, exotic car that sounded like pure fun and looked like something a secret agent might drive at insane speed to make the last ferry at the border. But I digress.
You ask for pictures? Yes, we have pictures!

I burned holes in those hiking shorts from the grinder sparkles.
Reminds me of the senior shop welder's advice my first day welding for pay:
If you're doing it right, your welds should sound like bacon, frying in a pan.
If your welds smell like bacon, you're on fire!
... and if you like even older Kubotas, I submit for your perusal the venerable B5100D:

This tractor probably gets more use than the others and it's always pulling trailers.
2 cylinders producing 12 blistering HP and always ready for work.
