Can't say here on this , BUT heres a little story about M M tractors ya may get a chuckle out of. Lets go back the 50 some years , In our area we had a M M dealer that made the rounds to every farm i think once a month tryen to pedal something . I was just getting into this farming thing with OLD junk and i had just stepped up to a Farmall 450 D tric. . My buddy and i had 2 450 D's his had a wide ft . He and i farmed together , We had just finished up the corn planting nd were getting ready for the hay . We were changing oil and servicing the tractors and had all the hay equipment out and going over that when RALPH showed up and started in on WHY we needed to trade them OLD 450's in on two NEW M M's and new this and new that , When my buddy had had about enough or Ralph he looked him ion his face and said WHEN M M paints them RED and WHITE will be the day we switch. The look on Ralphs face was a true kodaic moment and he tuned and walked away getting in his car and left. Well rain set in for a couple days and we did not get a start on the hay like we wanted to and when we did on the second round with the haybine BROKE , SOOOOOoooo i had to make the run over to the new Holland dealer just down the road five hundred feet from RALPH's As i topped the hill setting out by the road were a Matched PAIR of G 955'swith Matching five bottom plows and they were RED AND WHITE. I got the parts i needed and went back to the farm and told my buddy what i saw and he says OH GREAT I'll bet you ten buck Ralph will show up this week and want us to DEMO them . He and were just getting the wobble box back on the haybine and we heard a semi set it's brakes and you could hear chains being dragged when Ralph drive down the lane and right behind him came the first on as he did bring both for us to try . wE NEVER DID TRY THEM OUT THEY JUST SAT THERE FOR A WEEK . Back in those days we were surrounded by every color make and model Had three I H dealers with in a 25 mile radius three John Deere dealers three case dealers two Massey dealers , three Ford dealers , three Oil All over dealers BUT only ONE RALPH., Ya never knew WHAT maybe setting at the farm as they would just drop something off and leave it for three days to a week then show up to see how you liked it and and offer . Best deal we got was on a pair of 1755 Olivers with a new set of 4x16 steerables out the door price of 4750 , after trade each . No we did not jump on the band wagon , back then that was alot of money compared to a new 3/4 ton pick up with and out the door price of 2150 bucks or a new Road runner for 2450 . Bad enough how bad my hands were shaking signing the papers on a brand new 310G Case dozer for 5200 and all the while thinking how am i ever going to make the payments on this.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
