Here are some pictures of my Grandpa, his brothers and my Great Grandpa. Great Grandpa came over to the U.S. in 1917 with about $18.00 from Russia so his sons would not have fight in the army. Grandpa (Dads dad) was a john deere man, my other Grandpa (Moms dad) was a case man.

Great pics thanks for sharing. I like the barn it could be a twin to the one i grew up with.

Thanks for those pics. We are reaping the reward of someone owning and using a camera in those days! We had a camera but you'd think the film was made of pure gold when it came to using it.

Dad had a car like the one in the last pic. Then came a 41 Chevy. Seems like the tire chains never came off the spreader tractor until about June. Great pictures!

One grandpa Case, and the other John Deere.... That sounds just like me!! I suppose I have to start buying Molines now... huh?

Nice photos. I've never seen field pics of a JD H working before.
back in the 60's dad worked for the JD dealer. The dealer traded for an H with a bad head gasket. dad bought the H for $75.00 and the gaskets for $5.

He replaced the gasket in the back yard. later traded it back to the dealer for a 40 B.

Dad sure wishes now he kept that little H tractor.

Wonderful photos!
Looks like you had some industrious, hard working ancestors.
Don't we all wish we had pictures like yours to remember our ancestors by?

Really enjoyed the photos; especially of the Model H.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Love the hats in the first pic. Men just looked more like men in a fedora. Nice team on the hay wagon. Had a pair looked like that, about the same size too. Those old pics with the edges cut like that bring back memories.
