Sorry, But this may be a little long! Mentioning the UNI sure brings back memories for me. My Dad farmed in north-central Illinois and had an early M-M Uni with the single rear wheel and no power steering. He had the Combine, and the mounted Windrower as he still did oats that way, also had the Picker and Sheller, but was too cheap to buy the whole sheller outfit, but removed the corn head from the picker and put it on the sheller when he finished corn for the year. It was a whole day job switching the corn head from picker to sheller and another day to switch back. I was in late grade school and early high school when he had the Uni. But remember pulling many loads of ear corn to the cribs with his 49 M-M UTU. I still remember the day Dad was picking corn, in of course one of the farthest away fields, when he got his coat sleeve pulled into a pulley that ran a blower for the ear corn elevator. The pulley was starting to cut into his wrist when the belt came off and he was able to stop the machine and holding his injured arm walked to home. My older brother had just got home from high school and took Dad to the emergency room then operating room where the Doctors were able to connect tendons, etc. and save his hand. We were told the main nerve to hand was just starting to be severed, and had it been, he would have lost his hand. Needless to say, Dad was done picking corn for the year, but several neighbors and Farm Equipment Dealers came with Pickers, wagons, etc. and finished the corn harvest in half a day. I even got to stay home from school that day to help! John in Sunny AZ

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
