Dad bought the farm 160 acres after renting for years. Half farm ground and half pasture. Move on place in 45, I was one year old. Had a CC Case and team of horses. Horse, cattle and hogs went on one semi trailer to move. Did have a pretty new 3-14 Case plow and a Case tandem disk. High wheel box wagon and IH lister. In 51 horses left and the CC was traded in on a new WD and cultivator. Had to remove one bottom on the plow for the WD. Remove the wooden wheels on box wagon and put car front axles under it. My uncle and dad bought a new Gehl field cutter in 52 (both milked cows) and did custom cutting also. A new David Bradly side delivery rake, Viking 36 ft. grain elevator and Wetmore hammer mill was bought around 53. Junked the 34 Pontiac and bought a 51 Olds 88 and bought a 46 International KB2. In 57 dad bought a F-20 at a farm sale. I was big enough to do field work. In 58 traded F-20 for a M. Dad didn't want me to crank it. Big boys dream to miss school to do field work. Was renting 200 acres of farm ground also. Got rid of the International cream separator and bought a milk cooler. Mom and older sister loved not having to wash that. In 62 M was replace with a 400, Fast hitch plow showed up also. In 65 I was working in town and loaned dad some money to buy a new 656. The only tractors he bought new was the WD and the 656 and I still have the WD. Great times then.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. 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. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
