    Using My Old Tractors

    I never got around to cleaning up the leaves in this ditch last fall. It turned out almost easier to take care of it this spring while they were wet and "settled down". Saved some strain on my ol' back too.

    Speaking of "Stick Shift"

    I have a 4 speed tranny which came out of an early Falcon EconoLine van; '64 I think . This woukd have been a "4 on the tree". Unfortunately, I do not have any of the shifting linkage but I can imagine it must have been at least a little complicated. LOL

    More Car Key Stuff

    Back in the day Ford had the 2-way keys that could be inserted either side up. I had a key cut with one side to fit my '73 Gran Torino Sport and the other side to fit my '75 F-100. I was always gonna paint one side of the key green for the Torino and the other blue for the F-100 but never did...

    Speaking of Cart Keys

    Back in 1958 when I was about 17, a girl in my class drove a '56 Buick that belonged to her Dad. One day, a guy who owned a nice '57 Buick was hanging around and Arlene asked if she could take his car for a ride. He said sure but did not give her the key. She put her Dad's car key in the...

    Reflections of Farm Life - Toy Wagon and Dog

    In a prior "Reflections of Farm Life" photo a toy wagon was seen. Someone mentioned they must have had some money. I doubt they had much money; more likely, a neighbor or family member was a talented craftsman. It was also mentioned that they didn't show the family dog in the picture. Well...

    Another Reflection of Farm Life

    My Grandma feeding the chickens. Picture taken in the mid 1920s. Wow, I just realized that's a hundred years ago! I never knew this picture existed until about a year and a half ago when my cousin let me scan a bunch of family photos she has.

    Spring is Truly Here

    The Daffodils are out and the Shadblow is in full bloom so I think Spring has really arrived here in the middle of New York State.

    IH Truck Dealership

    [u:93e4043e3e]I originally posted this on "OT" but it should probably be here. [/u:93e4043e3e] One of the members of our local historical society gave me this yesterday. I never before knew there was an IH dealership in Summit, NY which is a tiny hamlet here in Schoharie County, NY. The...

    Saving Scrap Iron Just in Case

    I'm sure most of you save bits and pieces of scrap "just in case" you might need it for a future project. My old Ford LGT-18 lawn tractor has always had a problem with the RH side of the deck "scalping" under certain conditions on rough terrain. I decided to mount a castor wheel to help...

    Speaking of Seat Belts

    When I bought my first car with seatbelts, I tucked them under the seat out of sight. In cars I got after that, I decided to wear them. When my son bought his first car in 1979 while still in H.S.; he had taken already taken "Driver Ed". That first car was a '72 Gran Torino Sport 351 CJ which...

    Pulling Tops

    Skidded some red oak "tops" out of the woods for my neighbor with my D-17 Allis. At 81, it's nice to have a veteran, now construction worker who knows how to work do the hauling the chains around and do the "hookin'" . Hardly had to get off the tractor at all. He had his property "logged off"...

    Chevy Doodlebug

    My buddy bought a Chevy doodlebug back in the late 50s when we were both still teenagers. It had two 3 speed trannys back to back. He used it for "general transportation" for months 'til a State Trooper stopped him one day and said he shouldn't be doing that. LOL Thinking back, I had an...

    Doodle Bugs

    My wife's uncle built several Model A Doodlebugs. He was a Ford mechanic for years going back into the Model T days so he was very knowledgeable about the old Ford cars and trucks. He could make the Model A engine "purr like a kitten". Here are a few pics of the last one he had. Thes Pics were...

    Way OT - Cursive Writing

    My cursive writing is lousy so I print most of the time. Back in the day, many people who wrote in their day to day work wrote beautifully; almost artfully. These two envelopes date back to 1929.
