Bought an out of production IH Caution/Warning decal (NLA, no longer made and no reproductions available) for an IH McCormick restoration on an implement and found one still available at Vintage Parts in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Could only be ordered through a participating CaseIH dealership and only shipped directly to the dealer. The dealership is an 85 mile one way trip so had it shipped to me instead of making the drive to pick it up there having already incurred the cost of getting it to the dealership. The decal cost $1.92 and total costs for shipping by Vintage Parts to the dealer and on to me was $16.87. This decal could have easily fit in a small letter size envelope but it seems these outfits want UPS/FedEx to do the pick-up and deliveries whereas the Postal Service could have easily handled it for less then a $1 being nothing more then a normal letter. Shipping costs have certainly gotten out of hand and businesses for the most part have no interest in trying to minimize shipping expenses to their customers and will only use the high cost shipping services to handle their shipments.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
