I know this is an open subject but just popped in my head.

Seem to be having trouble with photobucket tonight, but I'll try.... 2 pictures of my barn from 1917 when it was 3 years old. (my great-great-grandfather owned it then) He and his sons worked all summer rebuilding it, and started haying in August.

This sets in the weeds at the Shelby IA Carstens show grounds! What is really unique about it is that Grandpa bought a mounted one just like this! Dad says they drove to the farm so it could be mounted, then drove it home that way! Theory was you did not pull a wagon, your corn went to the bin above, then you drove to the wagon and dumped it. Did not work very well, as it was top heavy and to hard to mount! Grandpa finally cut it up for scrap. Dad is sure a pull type would have not been any better, maybe worse!

farmerjohn,

Neat old church - too bad someone does not sell or rescue the wood items inside it.

Beautiful old wagon.
 
Our poor old W-6 had to pull the chopper wagon behind the chopper and run the chopper too! that one sure looks like ours did though. Good tractor, but a man killer, rode rough, steered hard, pedals pushed pretty hard. hard to start in the winter with a "souped up" engine.
 
My 1929 Essex suicide doors 1929 NY plates 6 cyl wood spoke wheels, original roof, most of it is original. The other car I believe is a Cadillac My son and I just finished the test ride before it goes back to the owner. He restores old cars for a living. The bottom one is a Sears Conversion I saw at a show.

I think this one would pass for an old photo. About 1941 showing my grandparents running the binder cutting and stooking a field of oats. Dad was away taking his training in the Canadian army and didn't get back to farming til WWII was over.

How about my 1963 Chevy II convertible? 6 cylinder, manual. No small blocks from the factory on the convertibles.
Its older than me, not as old as my 1930 Ford Model A but you have seen that one a few times.

Very nice Chey II Rick. Much fancier than my plain four door sedan 64. 194 engine and three on the tree. From this angle you can not see the rust holes over the headlights. Otherwise its pretty solid.

I love old stonewalls and "laid-up" foundations.
Especially those out in the woods where farms once existed years ago.

Rusty,

Looks like a great cruiser.

I had 4 door just like yours for parts, yours is in WAY better shape. I bought it just for the outside door handles, window cranks, etc. It had a blown up 194 and 3 speed.

If I recall they called them either a Chevy II 300 or 400, I saved them emblems somewhere. Some I think were available as a 4 cylinder too.

I haven't seen any numbers on this one. Yes, there was a four cylinder available as well as the 283 V8. Mine has been in the family since new. Around 80,000 miles.
