Got a question guys. Where in the heck besides the data plate can I find the serial number on a M?????? I've been tearing into the two M's that I bought and I'm getting ready to start rebuilding the engines and can't find the serial number on one and the other has some other odd numbers? First my old one which I believe is untouched. It still has 3 7/8" bores and has the old style seat as well as a cas iron shift knob. I cleaned the side of the bellhousing and there looks to be no place where a data plate would have been, no rivet holes, nothing. The number on the right side of the transmission housing is 8002-DD 2-2N but I suspect this to be a part number and not a serial. The second one is newer and has probably been rebuilt unless they originally came with 4" bores. It has the new seat and a data plate with these markings: MCH FBK 158356 X20A What the heck is the CH and X20A for? Here are some pics. the older one is on the left (w/sheetmetal) and the newer one is on the right (w/engine out). Please let me know what you think. If there is somewhere I can find a serial number on the old one them let me know. Also when I go to order a rebuild kit from here will the serial numbers make any difference? I would like to upgrade these to super M's if possible and go with the 4" bores and stepped pistons (both have flat tops now)....or is it even worth doing this????? You might have to copy these to your address bar to view because for some reason I can't post active links? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/EZFEED/My%20vehicles/ATT1123346.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/EZFEED/My%20vehicles/ATT1123344.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/EZFEED/My%20vehicles/ATT1123350.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/EZFEED/My%20vehicles/ATT1118255.jpg Old one by itself. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/EZFEED/My%20vehicles/1stM001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/EZFEED/My%20vehicles/1stM002.jpg

Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
