To any U guys like OLD machinery

I'm not a guy, but I love old machinery.

Ive forgot the 4 section rotary hoe, and heres some more pics of the truck. It was grandads brothers truck. He lived in St Joe Mo, and bought it to haul livestock and grain and whatever. Times got to tight and he couldnt make the payments so my grandad bought it. Grand mom had money. Ive hauled milo to Atchison several times in it. It used to have grain racks, But there gone.

Bill, hope you never have to move! I think you don't live too far from me. I have a lady friend that is a really good photographer and takes lots of pics and pics of people? Would you consider letting some one like her take pics there? She lives in Muskogee.

Well I hope my hopes got far more power, and I do get to move.
Yes if someone wants to take pics thats ok by me.

got to ask---with all your history to the land there, why do you want to move.

FBB, I sent you a PM

Makes me weep in terror to think of the length of the equipment shed I'd need to build to house all that stuff here in this climate. After a few years you'd go to roll that disk and find that you're missing 1/8th of each disk and an equal portion of each wheel on the tongue truck.

As a youngster, I had a fair amount of seat time on that mower that's in the 3rd pic of the opening post.
Also,that hay rake that's in the 3rd pic of post #18 received a lot of seat time from me.
50 or so years ago.
BTW, I have a 1949 Farmall Cub I use regularly.
Her name's Betsy

I made a fair living for 10 years or so refurbishing old horse drawn equipment back when it was worth pretty good money, late 70's and early 80's. Hauled a lot of it to Eugene when Lynn Miller had his Small Farmers Journal sales there before he moved it to Sisters Oregon.

Bill you have quit a collection there. I farmed with a Farmall B and a mix of tractor and converted horse drawn equipment when I started fsrming at 12. I had a light team also, so I had a few small horse drawn pieces. I had mostly IHC as they had the largest presence here. I see you have an end wheel cultivator in the first group of pictures. Yours is set up for row cultivation. Do you know the brand of it? I had a small horse drawn IHC shovel drill and the little 6' end wheel cultivator, mine was a field cultivator tho. Good to see someone is still using some of it. You have a nice original Case tractor there and a nice straight Farmall H....James

I have a B also, but I gave it to my DDD along with a VAC Case.
LOVED the B.
The cultivator is a 2 row McCormick-Deering
I also have a 6 hole walk behind grain drill. It was made on my birthday Oct * 1876. It has the name and date and location on the end plates. Ive never used it. Its under a shed and I didnt feel like takeing it out to take a pic

What is in the second picture from the bottom in post #8 Bill?

Allen your gonna have to tell me what it looks like or what color it is, if it has color. Sorry.

Rust color!

I think it's a rotary hay rake, but I've never seen one that looks quite like that before.

Dont have a rotary hay rake. Have a dump rake, and a JD and Case side rakes

Pulled out of a fence row and repaired

Bill, next to last picture here....James

Some of the parts on your cultivator looked similar to the one I had, that is why I asked. Many of the parts looked similar to grain drill parts. Springs, lifting rods, shanks, etc. The grain drill I had was a horse drawn model with the seat behind the drill, the hitch was just cut off for tractor use.

Thats an old time bale loader. It pics the bale up from the lower R side front, and brings it around the wheel 1/2 way to the top where a diverter lays it on a shelf to be taken off and stacked.

jwal Youll notice my drill has a seat, and had the tongue cut off for a tractor. I bought it for $2 at a sale.'

That was around 70/71. I had went to a farm sale before the sale and looked at a good looking drill. But something held me up and I got there late. They had already sold the good one. The crowd was around another one. i was in the back. I needed a drill so I was going to get it no matter the cost. I heard the auctioneer at 50@. He couldnt get a buck. Someone bid the 50 and I bid a buck. Someone bid a buck fifty, and turned around to see who he was bidding against. I was his friend so I bid the 2 and got it. I had an F-30 Farmall. the farmer who had the sale had a junk one. He had the op manual for it. I asked to buy t, but he acted like he knew I didnt have one and said he guess he better sell it with the tractor. I had a 20 also, but I went to pick up the drill with the 30. When he saw it, he said he wished he had let me buy it,
I put $14 worth of new boards and tongue on it, and that lasted 30 some years. Me and my boy replaced it in around 2000. It cost $38 I think in lumber and it wasnt near as good. I kept it oiled from oil id cop from the glass factory I worked at. Same with the manure spreader. I recently replaced the foot board, and put on a new tongue. I took out all the hex head bolts and replaced them with square head bolts. It was around 80 some bolts. I suppose it will last me the rest of my life. Its a 1924 McCormack-Deering 14 hole grain and small grain like alfalfa grain drill.

Yes, that is the post I was asking about. Thanks James

Can someone do me a favor and send this posting to my DD.? pm me and ill give you her addy along with my thanks.
