Yep, never heard of using the belly pump as a clutch or transmission brake. But then all but TWO of Dad's tractors had live hyd pumps, or NO hyd pumps. Dad bought a '47 H and 50T baler when he got out the Army, did custom baling, a L-O-T of custom baling. With the Cub or Continental engine on the baler changes in widrow size were no problem. Neighbor we traded help with had a 55-T IH baler, and he put either his WD-45 or D-17, then eventually his D-19 on that baler. And I started driving the baler around 10-11 years old, I'd rake windows that would require me to Really slow down, maybe even stop, the old 55-T just kept chugging along. Finally he bought a pto driven IH #37 baler, not sure how I knew, maybe Dad told me, last year Dad farmed, I mowed 20 acres of alfalfa with the 6 ft Bush-hog, let it dry, went and hooked up to our 7 ft David Bradley rake, greased it, I could just rake two 6 ft swaths of the mower into a windrow, then turn and rake 1 or 2 more mower swaths into that windrow, which was about HALF the size of my usual windrow. With the 55T baler I didn't drive much, with this #37 I most have had 40-45 windows, about twice what I'd rake in 20 acres, but the Super H pulling that baler, NO live PTO, I ran along about 1400-1500 rpm in 2nd gear, had a L-O-T more but tinyer bales than before, and never even came close to plugging the baler. Yep, baler problems of plugging start with the hay rake. Oh, when I raked oat straw, I pulled TWO 7 ft rakes and raked a full round into a single windrow, Dad always ran the combine just under the oat heads, maybe a couple inches lower, not much straw.

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
