'round the pot-bellied stove / Nice looking LA Case on Kijiji
« on: December 23, 2009, 11:30:29 AM »
Since theres no mention of Case on these forums I thought I'd mention it here. This LA looks pretty nice and was running when parked. It does not say when it was parked though.

'round the pot-bellied stove / Not a pot bellied stove
« on: October 12, 2009, 11:05:53 PM »
Thought this was an appropriate place to post this neat old stove picture. A friend has it stored in the garage and wants to get rid of it. I like it but really don't need it. Its a big heavy parlour stove in apparently good working condition. A Findlay Circulator #20 made in Ontario, Canada. Anybody ever heard of the name or if they are much in demand?

ATIS General Tractor Discussion / Motherwell Homestead Threshing
« on: September 07, 2009, 11:23:44 AM »
Took a few pics at the Motherwell Homestead threshing demonstration on Sept. 6. One of the exhibits was this miniature Case steamer. Just like the big ones, even had a whistle

'round the pot-bellied stove / Harvest 1957
« on: August 15, 2009, 04:49:22 PM »
Thought I'd post this vintage harvest photo a friend sent me. His Dad and brother riding the John Deere D pulling a Case model K combine. Harvesting spring wheat most likely in September or late August of 57. This would have been a fairly typical harvest outfit in those days although there were plenty of self propelleds around by that time too .

IHC / Auction sale of old iron
« on: June 30, 2009, 11:41:43 AM »
One of the more interesting farm auction sales I have ever attended was yesterday. Long rows of rusty machinery, tractors and trucks. Some with seized engines and I don't recall any of them that were running. Huge accumulations of scrap iron with some real gems hidden away. I brought home a good clean exhaust/intake manifold for my IH BD truck engines. I spotted a pile of 50s vintage chrome bumpers stacked up like firewood under the trees, not even sold. This Farmall H looked pretty good but the rear rims had disintegrated from the chloride in the tires and it was not auctioned, as well as this front half of an L-185 IH truck. I figured the nose piece from the Cockshutt 40 tractor that was laying in the cab of this truck would likely bring as much as the entire truck if the right buyer was around.
Oh well, it was as good (or better) than a day at the museum.

'round the pot-bellied stove / Photo albums
« on: February 23, 2009, 03:17:44 PM »
Finally got around to putting a few of my old photos into an album here at the forum. Mostly of the Cockshutt 40 and 50 involved in various tasks around the farm back in the 1970s (or earlier).

'round the pot-bellied stove / An International but not a tractor
« on: July 10, 2008, 03:29:59 PM »
Thought I'd post a pic of one of my INternationals even though it is not a farm tractor it is from the same family. This one I bought in 89. Its a 56-57 model S-160 that I use occasionally as a water truck. When the old Adirondack green paint is cleaned up and waxed it looks not too bad at all. Odometer reads just over 18,000 miles.

IHC / McCormick Deering W9
« on: June 28, 2008, 02:47:16 AM »
Thought I might try posting one of my pics from our little town's parade in 2005 showing a McCormick Deering W9 pulling what I think was also a McDeering thresher.

'round the pot-bellied stove / Cockshutt 30
« on: April 19, 2008, 11:37:22 AM »
Since we are under a winter storm warning here on April 19 I thought I would post this old picture from 1973 showing a friend's Cockshutt 30. They were belting it up to the grain chopper to grind cattle feed. In the background is another sight we don't see anymore. The CP rail train as it has either just dropped off empty grain cars or picked up full ones in town. No more elevators or trains for the last few years.

ATIS General Tractor Discussion / Parts tractor
« on: January 24, 2008, 12:16:36 AM »
This one is listed as for parts but it looks fairly complete and restorable to me. Nice old Minni U. Coming up at a farm auction in Sask. this spring.
