Nice pics. Thanks you guys for asking my questions: what's in the pile, how does it leave, corn sitting on the ground getting tarped not just sitting exposed to the weather.

I guess that first picture is all about quarter of a million $$$. 30' header?

Ground nice and flat. Just the thing.

I used to moonlight at an elevator in Altus, OK. during the fall harvest. Worked the power shovels in the railroad cars we were unloading. You run up the pile of wheat dragging this board with a cable attached to a motor. You had about 30 seconds to get to the top of the wheat before the clutch kicked in. What a workout, but I was 20 and fit for the task.

We had a little rod with a curved end that we put against the wheel and worked it like a can opener to get the cars rolling down to the unloading grate. Had a board and cardboard over the door opening with wheat piled up not too far from the top of the car. Had to duck to make the first few runs up the wheat.

In the spring it was cleaning up the bug spraying aircraft at the local airport. I was from S. TX. and the Okla. landscape and weather were a pleasant change from the humid coast.

Today's Featured Article - Oliver 550 Clutch Overhaul Tips - by Greg Sheppard. I got my 1964 Oliver Model 550 (serial 141-139-519) second-hand and used it for several years before the clutch began to slip. After taking up the pedal linkage several times I saw it was going to take more than that. The engine had been leaking oil at the rear seal and I suspected ... [Read Article]
