Old equipment from tomorrow's sale

[RedMF40]

Local farm museum is losing its space. Many of these machines are from their collection. Just down the road from me, hate to miss it but I'll be tied up tomorrow morning.

Nice old iron.

That's a shame that they're losing their space. Looks like a nice collection. Too bad it can't be kept together for people to view and appreciate.

Howard County Maryland at the county fairgrounds.

They have a huge collection. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Working cable shovels, dozers, you name it.

Bummer you can't attend, RedMF.

That grader brings back memories! When I was a kid, our neighbor owned one... and he and dad would team-up to grade our long driveways on both farms (one straight across the road from the other).
Great fun for a little girl to watch them grading... never had any puddle holes in either driveway.

With the rounded cover over the plunger it looks like a Massey Ferguson my dad had when I was a kid, but I don't see the MF standard packers on it. With the flat top, it resembles a New Holland though.

That looks like a New Holland 66 baler with a Wisconsin 2 cylinder engine. Piled a lot of bales behind one of those balers.

Quite a bit of this level of farm equipment is still used by the old order Amish and Mennonites near Lancaster.

I think you might be right. This one was up at Le Sueur a few years ago.
We also had one just like it when I was growing up.

You would jump in the puddles before church. They avoided the scolding !

I never could figure why they didn't use that concept of the reaper on modern machines. Have the real pull the grain all the way to the throat.
Eliminate bunching of short crops, all that comotion of augers and retractable fingers. Seams like it wouldn't wrap around the reel either.

the grader or the baler for $25? either way, probably the scrapman ended up with it.

They both went for $25 each, just couldn't get any interest. Scrap man will earn his $$ moving that grader if that's who it went to.
