Show and tell time. I went to see my folks and took some pictures. These are hanging in frames so there is a glare, but I knew you might enjoy them. They also made me have some questions. I've walked by them for years and never really analyzed them.
What words do you suppose are stenciled on the grain bin of the pull combine? I couldn't tell you much about the picture other than it is my grandfather and the Farmall looks VERY new. I find it odd that you don't see the header on the combine, but I know it had one. Everything is straight cut here. That is the farm on my dads side of the family. I grew up farming with this side of the family but the grandpa I knew was grandmas second husband after dad's dad died early on.
The other picture is my grandmother on mom's side getting ready to go to the field on the "tractor". They kept the team until the actual tractor came along, but they did use a kit machine for several years for some field work. I had always assumed it was an old Ford just by the looks of it and the oval gas tank, but looking close I noticed the square emblem on the radiator shell. Anyone know what car it was before the kit? The triangle painted on the hood seems odd. They were not prone to extras even if that meant a brush and paint to put something "funny" on the hood of the tractor. My bad back often hurts after spending a day in the tractor. I can't imagine what it would feel like after one spent sitting on that round gas tank.

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
