My grandpa farmed up in North Dakota in the late 1920's early 30's and he used to tell us about a tractor I'm sure he called a "Grey". Was this a nickname for an AC or other type of tractor, or was there a Grey, or Gray, manufacturer? He mentioned AC's specifically, but he also talked about a Grey. Any chance it was a type of thrasher or combine and I just misunderstood? I'm also looking for pictures of equipment of this vintage for a video presentation I am making for my family for Christmas. Grandpa died a few years ago so I can't ask him to help me out. If you have access to a video camera and a few hours, sit down with your elderly parents or grandparents and "interview" them about their lives. Many of the things I learned about my grandparents and their life growing up during The Depression were never covered in history books. When you get done talking to them its fairly easy to piece the videotape together for your own ever-lasting memory of your family and its past. If grandpa puts up a fuss and pretends that he doesn't want to cooperate, just ask him to talk about when he was a young man and how much harder life was then compared to today. That's normally all you need to do to get the ball rolling. If you're like me you'll come away from the discussion feeling like you have it pretty damn easy. Hope this prompts you to do some interviewing of your own this holiday season when everybody gets together. Thanks in advance for your help. Jim

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
