Auction company having an estate sale and on the list of items to be auctioned; 1949 Super A Farmall-Reconditioned in 1989, very few hours since rebuilt.According to the casting codes (x), it was an 1952, hydraulic lift didn't work and it had about 1 round of slack in the steering, but it ran real well. Well, I am in Central Mississippi where we very rarely get snow. Guess what; woke up Saturday morning, the day of the auction with 1 to 2" of snow on the ground. I called the auctioneer to find out if the auction was cancelled and he said "no". I figured very few people would be there, and I might get a good deal, so wife and I decided to travel the 15 miles or so. It was still snowing quite a bit at 9:00 a.m. I had begun to worry whether I would be able to make it back over the roads. Lo and behold, I think everyone else had the same idea; place was over-run with folks; most of the men had came for the same reason I did; hoping to get a good buy on the Super A. The tractor ended up selling for $2,650 plus a 10% buyers commission and sales tax. Right around $3,000.00 total. I did manage to pick up the planter, seed hopper in perfect shape, both cultivator arms with plow extensions and several plows and cultivator shanks for less than $100.00. So, I don't suppose it was a total loss after all. I know a lot of you guys wouldn't think too much about having an auction in snow, but for us deep south guys, it was a new experience.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
