The Library of Congress has some nice collections.
Here is one group of links you may possibly enjoy.

Nope, didn't see it.
I don't want to see modern photos of oldtime tractors and machinery.
I don't want to see modern photos of restored tractors and machinery
I don't want to see photos of tractors and machinery rusting away somewhere

I DO want to see photos of farms, tractors, machinery TAKEN BY PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THAT ERA, Between 1880 and 1950

Ah, I see.

You just need to add the word 'vintage' to your search phrase, like this:

It'll take a little while to figure it out and the categories aren't always accurate, but if you set a term and just wade through everything it has some neat stuff.

Best photo archive ever is at shorpy.com

Search for farm and enjoy. Many photos of old depression era farm scenes plus thousands of others. Warning though - when you go to shorpy make sure you have the whole day to sit and look at fascinating things!
