Welcome to BFAvery.com - The home of the B.F. Avery & Sons Antique Tractors on the internet!

You have probably joined this site to learn more about the BF Avery tractor, one of the little known “collectable” tractors of the 1940’s and early 1950’s and you probably have several questions concerning the different models.

To begin with, you should familiarize yourself with the menus of the website. We have tried to design the website so that nothing is more than three clicks away from the main menus. The website design is open source software so it has been thoroughly tested and should operate without any glitches. However, software gremlins do exist and if you should ever have a problem just contact us via the contact form.

One of the primary features of BFAvery.com is the use of the Community Builder (CB) features. You have experienced the registration process and the application fields on the registration application. You have also received an email requesting you to confirm your email by clicking on a URL included in the email message. These (extended registration process and registration workflow) are some core CB features. When you login to bfavery.com for the first time, you will see an empty avatar photo in the Login box (Register/Login module). By clicking on this 'empty avatar' or by selecting the 'My CB Profile' item in the User Menu (left column of the front page after login) you will be taken to your very own CB profile on this site. The first thing you should do is to upload your profile image. Just select the Edit -> Update Your Image menu item from your CB Profile and upload your image. Make sure your image follows the size limits stated and the upload should be just fine. After you upload your image, you will see a pending approval status avatar in your profile. This is another core CB feature and your avatar needs to be approved by a Website Moderator. Once your uploaded image is reviewed and approved by a moderator, it will show up just fine in your profile (and also in the login module as a thumbnail).You will also see a lot of extra tabs on your profile. Also try editing your profile by using the Edit -> Update Profile menu item on your profile. You may see some of the questions (CB fields) you already answered during the registration process and some more (that are part of your profile but were not required during registration
