Old Barn Dance - Old Iron in Action :)

Posted by ShepFL on October 03, 2005 at 08:19:30 from (155.14.78.39):

Got a chance to see some of our old iron in mint shape in action, namely IH; lots of pics of F20s, a crawler and etc.

Watched this enjoyably silly Gene Autry romp this wx. It had an early ecological message: Horse-power instead of tractors, yr is 1938. Or at least tractors manufactured by greedy Thornton Farming Equipment.

Having lost his horse-trading business to Thornton, Autry signs with Helen Valkis' local Grainville radio station. Unbeknownst to Autry, the program is sponsored by none other than Thornton, and when the farmers cannot live up to the greedy manufacturer's finance plan, they blame Autry.

In typical Autry style, Autry not only bests Thornton on the business front, but also receives more attention at the local fair than the Thornton-sponsored Big City entertainment.
