I been around almost 5 more decades then you and was able to get into the tail end of thrashing grain. My grandfather owned the neighborhood thrashing machine and we just went from farm to farm doing everyones grain crops. That was quite an experience for a kid like myself less then 10 years old. Those letter series tractors were new in those days and seemed like almost all of them were H's. I drove tractors for all the neighbors picking up bundles and taking the wagons to the thrasher and back to the fields. The H was my favorite tractor during that period. The smaller kids drove the A's and C's along with the Fords but I always got the H's. Grandpa also had a M to run the thrasher but that is a little too much tractor for a kid of 10 or so and I didn't get to drive it that much. It was mainly used for the thrasher, corn picker, tillage work, etc. and that was the tractor my uncle always used. Just brings back fond memories of a childhood of years past. You don't know what you missed also at lunch with those thrashing crews - hint - a lot of chickens died everyday and gardens were picked clean along with pies made from everything fresh. Take care and you have a beautiful H and give us another photo when you have it all back together, best wishes, Hal.
