Do horses count as a tractor seeing as they are for pulling things? My Grandpa spreading with the team.

My dad would have liked that picture better than any tractor you could have put up. My wife's grandpa, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get rid of the horses. He had the first tractor in the neighborhood. Many thought that the exhaust would kill the crops. There were "global warming" alarmists in those days too.
 
Not trying to take steal your thunder, just giving a comparison from the old to the new. This was last fall. Thanks for the picture. Bob

Uncle Earl with a horse he'd just bought from Burt Ricks. That's my house in the background way back in the day. He was standing right about where my toolshed is now.

We figure it had to be radio,ya. I guess grandpa was quite a fan of Amos and Andy. Dad said if he wasn't done milking by the time it came on,he'd go in the house and listen to it then go back to the barn to finish.
 
Dad would sit and listen to the Lone Ranger with us and then we would go out and milk the cows.
 
We had a radio in the milking parlor. I always looked forward to the Sunday evening lineup of shows: Johnny Dollar, Gunsmoke, Amos 'N Andy, Jack Benny, Our Miss Brooks, Corliss Archer.....
 
Nope, that spreader got traded (then most likely scrapped) to Peckens in Cohoctah on a 14A New Idea. The 14A left at the sale when the cows left.
 
I would bet it"s a lightening rod antenna. My Grandpa had a similar looking one on his house in Oklahoma.
