Yesterday I a look see at a farm that was my mothers uncle.
The school bus, I could have rode it in the 1st grade.
The Avery and sawmill is forsale.
The sawmill was driven with the old truck engine, and before that he used a steem engine.
The Buick also drove the mill through the back wheel. I wached it runing about 50 years ago.

To the right guy, that Avery thrashing machine would be a prized posession... Collector, restorer, demonstrations... Looks like it"spretty much intact.
 
What's the rest of the motorcycle look like (in the pic of the rollers and saw blade).

First pic is "redneck horse trailer".
 
I've always wondered what must have happened to have a rusty old school bus end up on someone's property. I've seen a couple of old school busses on farms around me and it just stumps me how that could happen.
 
All the defunct strawberry farms had a few around here- mostly gone now. All the growers had a bus or 2 or 3 to go around and pick up the kids to pick berries. The one I rode in was a late '30's Reo, in the late '50's. I guess someone figured out that if he ever missed a shift going down the hill we'd all be killed, so he would stop at the top of the hill, put it in 2nd (I think), and that sucker would be screaming by the time we got to the bottom.

I was big enough to buck bales when I got out of 8th grade in '62, so could leave the strawberries behind. A great day- I hated crawling around in the dirt, and wasn't very good at it either.
