Back in the "still does a good day's work" thread, I said I'd try to get some pix posted. Being as it's raining and the hay needing stacked in the mow can wait until it cools off a bit, I finally got some pictures on the computer from the camera and sized for posting.
Here is my wonderful (for putting up with me, among other things) other half, raking hay with the '51 SA and Case F-170 rake. The field the other side of the fence is not ours and gets round baled by a neighbor. This pic was actually taken a few years ago, but it's still how it's usually done here.
Yes, I do have the sheet metal for the SA, but it's currently mostly stripped and waiting for ding fixing then prep/prime/paint.
This year, I used a borrowed Ford 851 with the rake as it has better tires and a much better 'footprint' with 12.4x28's than the SA, and with this same corner of the field pretty soggy again this year, I didn't want to end up like this:
And here is the H with the #46 baler, taken yesterday. Pay no attention to the operator, who is actually paying attention to the windrow and baler, and is clearing the slug of hay the header had just picked up. This is why she gets to bale, and her mom gets to rake. I get to gather bales into small "tee-pee" stacks around the field to minimize ground contact and moisture pick up, and for easier pick up later.
The downright ugly alternator conversion came with the tractor when purchased. I have a replacement hood and smaller alternator, but among the rest of the pressing fixes usually going on, haven't made the time to git'er done. Yet.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
