This was dad's tractor, he bought it new in 55 I believe. This is the one that I've talked about several times as I couldn't guess how many hours I put on it raking hay, pulling the hay rope, back blading. We also used it to pull wagons and it was always the auger and elevator tractor. My dad and older brothers did all that and also cut all the hay and did a fair amount of custom cutting because the ford mower on it was the only one in the neighborhood that couod cut the swamp grass and reed canary. This would be the one that I got caught raking hay sitting on the hood in front of the steering wheel. We always raked hay as fast as it would go in third gear, so I was moving too. But after dad caught me I never did that again.
My brother Jeff owns it now and just had my otherbrother Ken and his son Brian restore it. As with all the jobs they do it is a fabulous job! They overhauled the engine, rewired it, put in new gages and got the lights working. They also reworked the brakes as in all the time I ran it the right brake only worked in reverse and the left only forward. I suspect from turning corners cutting hay all those years. Anyway, everything works now and with the new paint she really made me nostalgic. Imwould gladly have gone out and raked some hay today if I could have.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
