Show me your RUST pics.

It stays inside the shed but it's rusty. I thought about painting it but I kinda like the rusty look.

The tractor I call Rusty. Found in a barn about 30 miles from me.
Originally bought it for parts for my other two H's. Decided to fix it. Several new transmission bearings, couple of gears, many seals and new pistons and sleeves. It is a good runner.

Here's a John Deere M that was on my farm. Like a fool I didn't include it on the contract to purchase the farm. After the contract was accepted I called the owner to see if he wanted to sell it but he had already sold it to someone else.

Dear Absent minded
Thank you for showing the bailor. That was the same one my father had on the farm IHC 45 or some such number with a front wheel and the "U 2" engine. was a grand bailor. Dad had put a duel on the engine side because of some of the places he bailed had copious ground hogs; on gravel places they would keep enlarging their holes as they fell in. A variety of Farms located in Lambton county Ontario Canada
!!! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!

We had one like that too. The wheel on the engine side was an option you could get with it, ours had it too. I have a 50T I am trying to bring back to life, maybe this year...
 
Where were these pictures from? Growing up Dad had the same baler and Dearborn combine. The combine had a air cooled Wisconsin 4 cyl. on it that you did not want to kill after it got warm. Some of the combines also came with a 4 cyl Ford engine(water cooled). Our baler was a 52, so it had a cub engine in it. The early ones had continentals y-69. The one I have now has that. Big bales, and very temperamental knotters.
 
All these rust picture reminds me of the story about a guy that had a horse named "Old Paint" He lived so long that he changed his name to "Old Rust oleum"
 
We also had a 50t baler. It had the Continental flathead engine, duals on the engine side, but no dolly in front so that the weight would be on the drawbar for traction. It got pulled a lot with an 8n Ford. In fact when Dad and my Uncle custom baled for others, they sometime used their Model A truck with a wooden bumper to help push the baler up hills on the road. Later on we had a 300u and no push was needed! Good pic. Mark.
 
These were taken at the Dodge Co. antique tractor show in August of 2019. The baler is a 55AW. Always wanted a 50 or 55, wire or twine. Had heard that the knotter on the 55 was better than the 45 & the wire twisters were the best way to go.

Glad you enjoyed! The one in the picture is a 55 with the wire twister. It was the baler to buy in its day. The 45 was a little smaller. It was notorious for not wanting to tie. I've yet to hear of one that was 100% reliable, though I don't doubt they're out there.

I read your post and am amazed at the similarities. Dad pulled the baler with an 8N, he bought both the baler and tractor in 52. Did a lot of custom baling around the neighborhood, since it was the first twine baler. In 55 he bought a 300U.
 
A lady was looking at pictures from the "rover", She looked very carefully, and there was Bernie Sanders!
 
I've shown plenty of photos of my rusty McCormick Deering 15-30 from recent years. Here is one from about 1984 before I moved it up beside the old shack.
