I sure enjoyed the tour. Is the Cockshutt mower the kind that has the rope lift where a rope is running around a drum turned by the tractor PTO and the sickle bar was raised by pulling on the rope and tightening it around the drum?

This past June I sent my 1949 Chevy 3600 (3/4 ton) truck to Louisiana with my oldest grandson. He is the 4th owner. I ran out of energy enough to do any more restoration work to it and he will have much satisfaction continuing that. It is very similar to those GMCs in your tour.

A few comments on the 15-30 (22-36). My Dad's first tractor was a 22-36. The rear steel wheel extensions were factory though instead of home made. Yours look too symmetrical to be home made. Also the PTO was standard rather than optional. The end of the PTO shaft was a very heavy thread and I remember that the front PTO knuckle on the 10 ft JD grain binder had an inner thread to match. Later IHC made an adapter with inner threads to match the tractor shaft and the other end of the adapter was the spline that became the 540 RPM PTO of later vintage.

I would certainly expect that I could visit many old farm sites in North Dakota and find similar machines as you have shown on this tour.

Thanks again for making this available for us.
