Elkie, these are for you.
 

got them just put in my albums.

That's the haygrazer

Somemore of the haygrazer, and of the Panzer using my old factory trailer I rebuilt all the wood on after it had sat for33yrs here. I bought 10 supposed hens, but after 3 weeks, one announced that he had switched. I took all back but 2, and one of them lays around 2 or 3 eggs a week.

I took these today, 10/9/14 of the tomatoes. Chuck can varify that that's what they look like, as he was here on that day and picked a few. The big hav a hart trap is what I had bought a couple months ago to catch a BIG coon that was so large that he could back out of the small trap ive had for a few years as his tail kept the trap door from locking. This one got him.

Pics of a trombone sprayer I bought at the sale for $2. The Hudson wheelbarrow sprayer was my Xs granddads.
The rest is of my tool shed, inside and out.

More pics of the tool shed, the sprayer, and some of a homemade blade I bought in Sept. It will tilt from side to side, and somewhat forward or backward. Fits my H Farmall

Pics of a garden tractor lister and harrow. Harrow is 3ft wide. Hope to find another like it for the Panzer to cover its tracks when using it to harrow. Also, the NI loose hay loader, and Case hay rake.

yep, theres more for ya Elkie.

Shows the D Brown with the stripped out PTO, and me mowing second cutting. It was hot and I was sweating, and I guess it got on the lens.

Using granddads 34 Case CC and my JD rake.

getting close to the end.

Pics of my 1950s Case hay bailer. I spent 4hrs trying to get that table belt on. For some reason it had shrunk. I went and had a piece 2ft by 6in made and laced which cost $45. Brought it home and laced it up. Then I found 2 things. I had went under a brace rod underneath the table, when I should have gone above it, keeping it off a belt and pulley that run the auger, AND the 6in splice was 3in too many. So I had to take it all apart, go to town with the cut piece of 3in and have IT laced, $22. While reinstalling the belt, It made it a lot more fun when I hit my head on one of the needles. There was some give, but it was all in my head lol. I ran 2 rods through the laceings. ground each on one end to a point, and got poked by one to make blood. FINALLY got it laced together.

Yours truly, signing off. Hope ya likem.

Nice pics I want the tractors :happy2:

Bill, Your place is like a Museum!, You have a lot of cool, old implements and machinery*, and looks like You done well on Your garden. Chuck says your tomatoes are the bomb! The way You guys were talkin' all summer-You got some good rainfall-Thanks for sharing*

Youd be standing in a long line. What about these items

Bill, Here is something I am very proud of. My hand held fiddle drill

And a couple of the locals
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-V...0/IMG_0584.JPG
And the pride of the village -our lorry
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x...0/IMG_2327.JPG

You should be proud of your fiddle bow seeder. Do you use it? I have 3 hand crank cyclone seeders. One was dated by the seed selection car opn the bottom for the 19 teens, and the other was dater in 28 if I remember right, and the other didn't have the card with it. Ive reproduced and enlarged the card, and had new bags made for them, but I havnt used them.
What mower is that?? I have 2 horse mowers, a MH and a IHC

My goodness dear. I do believe you have one of everything. Wow.

One of everything??
I got 4 tractors, 3 plows, 2 discs, 3 hay rakes, 2 bailers, 2 cultivators

And a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeee!

I love that push seeder or fertilizer? in the 4th picture of the 4th post. I love love love the little red tractor you are pulling the chickens with. You have really cool toys Bill.

The blue one with the round tub, or the green one? OR the 2 wheel in line planter fertilizer

What mower is that? now how should I know? I am a mere woman:stirpot:
But I bet it is Swedish
Yes, I do use the fiddle drill. The land here is so kuperet that a tractor often cannot come in. Just look at the field my neighbour is ploughing
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-p...0/IMG_0286.JPG
Here is another implement for you. Can you see what it is?
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N...2/IMG_0433.JPG

Bill has all the fun toys!!! Someday when I grow up I hope to be just like him. :)

This one picture of yours here looks suspiciously like a Simplicity harrow! If you ever feel like selling it, you give your ol pard Eric a holler!!

Whats wrong with that field??

Eric I don't think its a Sim. Hooked up, I think you would have to stand on it or lean way back.

That other implement is what people say I do in here lol.

Tried to look up kuperet and could not find a single English definition or explanation. So you go to the handy dandy Danish to English dictionary, and it's hilly!

HA If that's hilly, Id like to show you the Missouri River foothills in NE Kans.

COURSE< that being said, I took pics to show these flatlander Okies what hill country looked like, and the pictures didn't do the hills justice.

Oh no. that is the flat land. But that is the size of the field. There is an open ditch to the left. We have a word for hilly -bakkede- but this is kuperet- sort of mole hilly. The implement is a manure spreader . I had never seen one with the spreader made of wood before I moved here. And this theshing machine- nearly all wood. Pulled by a horse in a barn.

Now that gearing up front is OLD> What was it for??
Im assuming that's the thresher in yellow in the back. Is that red thing in front of it a oil pump. We have things that look like that here in Okla, by the millions. lol

It looks similar to the horsepower gears used in early animule powered mills, especially cotton gins in My part of the world...I've seen the same setup in varied applications

Mole hilly?

Dad said there was a 2 acre field therebouts on a farm he, and I and my Bro all rented at 3 different times. When he was plowing it with a WD AC with skeleton grip tires, the wheels would drop and stall when he drove over a mole hill.

Mole hilly ;-) Very big mole hills ;-) How can I explain.? The countryside is not so high, 1200 feet above sea level but old moraines left by the ice ages. A sort of natural rubbish dump!!! We can have gravel, sand, clay within yards of each other. I have several half acre fields with a couple of granite boulders 3 yards in diameter. The photo of this house may show the problem. I have even seen barns with boulders inside them.

Or in the forests many places are like this

Looks like my part of S Mo. lol

You will understand then ;-) But you grow much better tomatoes than I can
But back to the thresher. The smaller one in the background is a more modern moveable one. I remember those from my childhood and here is a working model I saw at a showhttps://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4...0/IMG_1108.JPG
As plowhand says, these type of machines were used for so many things and looked so alike. The wooden threshing machine roused my attention because it looked so much like my Fearnought except it was not metal.
The thresher is on two floors in this barn.

I saw the upstairs "threshing" part first. Then went downstairs to figure out how it worked.

AND, What is a Fearnaught??

Something that fears nothing: a machine for teasing wool.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8...0/CIMG2435.JPG
But in this case it was my neighbours and I who were being teased moving it from Denmark to Sweden.
