I forgot to mention, I currently use the outbuildings on the farm for machinery storage. I'm slowly rehab'ing the buildings as I go. I hope to get some paint on the shed this year, yet. A portion of the shed's block foundation was rebuilt with fieldstone, to match the rest of the foundation, last year. I got a portion of the roof re-done, too. I really don't ever plan to have any form of livestock, but the buildings shall eventually be ready if I do decide to get a few hogs or beefers. I would like to restore the dairy area in the barn to it's former glory. The stanchions are in great shape & a portion of the old IHC milking system is still in place. Everything should clean up good & finding a McCormick vacuum pump & pails shouldn't be too dificult.
The ground around the barn is still very dark & rich. I would like to add the back hog lot (the patch of tall weeds by the barn) to my little hay field. It was my Grandma's "back garden" for a few years. After they passed, the manure pile behind the barn was dragged over the garden & left to grow over. It's currently the site for two burn piles. Hopefully, I'll get the use of that area when it's cleaned up & I can move the ratty little garden shed.
The septic mound that gives my field an odd shape is the reason I'm operating there. It's too much of a pain for the renter to drive around everything. There's also a spring that keeps a quarter of my field wet. Somewhere there's a picture of his Ford articulated, burried up past the axles, in the wet spot. Tisk, Tisk! The H just tip-toes right through there.
A MM "R", New Idea mower & Deere crimper would have been one heck of a sharp color combination.
I honestly couldn't be happier the shaft let loose when it did. I don't think I'll need the mower until next spring, anyhow. If I do, the repairs are minor.
If you ever get a few pictures of your friends H & loader, please post them. I always like to see another one. I've only seen 4 other Caswell loaders & one of which was on person.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
