That earlier post of the grain binder
brought back some memories. Does anyone
know of a firm that can take a vhs tape
that is kind of grainy and restore it? It
was given to me years ago by a son of a
guy that shot a lot of 8mm film. He copied
this to the vhs. What's on it is the stacking
of oats, 16 stacks to be exact, and since
I was there doing it, I can tell you
that, 7 bundles in a shock, 25 shocks on a
wagon and 7 wagon loads to a stack. My
mother's father, taught me as he was the
only one that knew how or remembered. He
was originally from Sask, and was in his
late 80's when this was happening. The
film then covers the threshing, 40 Mpls
with wing feeders driven by our 28hp Mpls
Canadian Speacial. 300' drive belt on it,
as to pull between 8 stacks is pretty
deep. There should be some film of the 30-
60 Aultman Taylor as well. That's what at
13-14 years old, and a younger brother did
in the summer of 65. We did recruit some help,, mostly retired folks that we all knew. At the time it didn't seem that bad, probably cause thats all we knew.
