This was my dad on his Gleaner E combine he bought new in 1969. Thought they were appropriate for this time of the year. Hope you enjoy them. My older brother and I spent many an hour riding along with dad on this old combine. We always kept our eyes open for groundhogs. What I wouldn't do to relive those days. My dad turned 86 back in August. Him and Mom are still on the farm.

Those Gleaners were a heck of a machine. We had one for corn and one for grains. Life was a lot simpler back in those days.
 
Those are some very nice pictures. Thank you for posting. Much more enjoyable to see than the new combines of today. Any more pictures of the farm work?
 
Alan yes I have more and will post them soon. I need to get outside for now and make my self useful with something...LOL!
 
Certainly welcome more pictures. I agree on going out and getting things done and being useful. The nice days are numbered....lol

I think you just made the UNDERSTATEMENT of all
time.

LOL

I agree there. It seems it was still hard work and things still had to be done in time, but it was more of an enjoyable pace....maybe as we didn't know any better lol.
