At the time I was born, and for another 10 years, my grandfather was a close friend of the man who owned the IH dealership in town. In the mid-1970's, IH pulled the dealership from him, and my father had about had his fill of the gasoline powered 806 IH we had at that time. Prior to then, our farm usually had one JD tractor on the place, but everything else was an IH tractor. My dad bought his first tractor, which was a 1970 model year 1955 Oliver. To sum it up; the 806, which was a lemon, was traded for an even bigger lemon. That 1955 Oliver was traded for the last brand new tractor bought for the farm. That tractor was a 4440 Deere. In the meantime, after the 806 left, and ultimately the Oliver had gone, the tractors primarily used on the farm became "green" in color, and the two remaining "red" tractors were used for mowing and powering grain augers. Some of the green tractors that first showed up in the 1970's and 1980's have been replaced by "newer pre-owned" tractors, and there have been some other models added to the fleet. There are 3 red tractors and the rest are all green. As a kid, I had always wanted to 2 cylinder JD tractor. I was in my early 20's when I bought my first one. Today I have 5. I also have a couple larger machines we use in the field. There are a few IH models I would like to own someday, but I spent most of my time learning how to drive a 3010 and 3020, and have been in anything up to a 9320 4 wd.

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
