That’s a wicked set of tire chains on the John Deere. I’ve never used the front loader as a vehicle hoist before although it’s been tempting
 

A few more

My Uncle has taken very good care of the international truck all these years and still drives it in parades from time to time. Original cab paint. He used it on his farm up until around 2000.
 
Very nice pictures. Thank you for posting them. That is an interesting snow blower. Can you tell us about it?
 

It was an old International truck, I don't know the model number. They had bought a snowblower that was made for the front of a tractor and would run off of the belt pulley. Tractors of that time didnt have live power so it didnt work well. They mounted the snowblower on the front of the truck, took the engine out of the 65 John deere combine and set that in the back end of the truck and ran a belt up to the snowblower. They put another transmission behind the transmission on the truck so it would go slow, weighted it down, chained it up and went blowing township roads. If the snow got too deep they would push with a tractor or loader. In the spring they would pull the combine motor back off the rear of the truck and put it back on the combine. Blower had cross augers, but the blower was set perpendicular to the way snow blowers are made today, and if the snow had any moisture it would not feed into the paddles.
 

I didnt notice that until you mentioned it, that is kind of neat. I just randomly posted the pictures.
 

They didnt have FWA back then so they made things work one way or another. Thats my Uncle under the car, he got things done the fastest way possible. LOL.
 
They are wonderful pictures. Hard working, successful people. That's good to see, as it seems like all I hear about the plains is disaster. And how many bottoms on that plow? At least 4!
 
My Dad had an identicle 51 Chevey,right down to the sideboards. Traded off in '66 on a BRAND NEW "Jimmy"(GMC).I still remember driveing the old '51 into town and driveing the new "jimmy" home. My brother has it still..The first grain truck I purchaced when I started farming in '78 was a 51 IH L160 like the green one pictured. Only mine was red.It was sold in '84 :( Darn good truck.
 
Awsome,wonderful pictures. Priceless! Are you in Canada?In the pic of two dump rakes,the woman rideing is tripping the one,is the tractor driver tripping the other?That's LOT of hay! were trucks/wagons loaded by hand with men useing forks,or was there a hay loader of sorts used?
 

North central south dakota, we used that rake set up until the mid 80's, but we always just ran both rakes from the tractor with separate ropes. I think in the picture they just got them hooked together and were trying them out before running ropes up to the tractor so one person could do the job. Hay was loaded on to wagons and trucks with what we call a hay basket (teeth on loader about 8' long with a push off) mounted on loader like the one in the picture feeding corn silage.
 
Really neat pictures, thanks for posting them. My favorite was the loader on the old Case holding the truck up and they guy underneath it, I'm glad nothing slipped or gave way while he was under it.
