These are photos of Art Cornell working for the Town of Washington, La Crosse County WI.
The first photo dated 1953 shows a view of the contraption that they rigged in the box of the town truck to run posts into the ground for snow fences.
The second photo dated March 1959 shows the town truck pretty much hidden by the deep snow. The wing plow can be seen high on the snow bank on the right side of the truck, left side in the photo.
The third photo dated March 1962 shows Art standing in the door of the Austin-Western grader that the town owned.
It was kind of a strange machine. It had an IH engine like those in the MD Farmall. It started on gasoline and had to be switched manually to run on diesel.

Art liked that feature, he said it was handy for plowing deep snow and for grading gravel roads.
