Perhaps one of those mechanics is Howard H working in his first job description. Sure does look like alot of work. Hard to imagine that some of those tractors were changed out after each picking season was over.
It is interesting that left/right position of the brake and clutch pedals was retained. Surprised to see what appears to be a chain-drive drop box on the right tractor. I thought the high drum cotton pickers used gear-drive boxes.
OTOH, when I was out in Bakersfield, CA, the cotton farmer, who I got the CP PTO from, had several pallets outside with chain-drive boxes on them. I would have bought a pair but we couldn't find the axle housings.
