New Equipment in 1950

[Drew970]

These pictures were taken of some new equipment at Henry Brother's dealership in March of 1950. The DC4 was one of 6 DC4's sold that year, 18 DC's (mostly DC3's) were sold that year according to the sales book. The next pictures are of an E2 elevator and a NCMT baler. My father posted some pics of the SP9's before, but I thought I would post one again, this picture was taken later in 1950. They sold a total of 6 SP9's that year, and from 1947-1956 they sold a total of 38 A-6 combines! Hope you guys enjoy.

Great pics and story. Our family Case Dealership goes back beyond then, but pics, prior to 1950 are nonexistant.

i must be getting old, grew up with an elevator and baler like those.the baler and an SC tractor were traded in 1969 for a new 770 tractor. the elevator was just plain wore out.

I, um, well I hauled a good E2 elevator to the scrap a year ago. Bought it for $5 maybe 20 years ago and used it to elevate firewood into a wagon from the splitter. Very well built elevator and the sides were adjustable so they could be folded out flat for bales or used in a Vee fashion like the pic or folded clear up so they formed a box. Didn't really want to scrap it but it would have cost me more to take it to an auction than I would have made, if it would have sold. Jim

Forgot to mention, Dad and a neighbor had a baler like that one only it was a hand wire tie. I was just a kid at the time but I can still remember the sound of that Wisconsin slowing down and speeding up with the rythm of the plunger. I still have the goggles that were worn by the guys doing the tying. They pulled it with a B Deere, sorry. Jim

I hope you don"t mind, but I would like to share these on The J.I.C.C.A. Facebook page, and a J.I.Case Farm Machinery group on there. I"m sure others would love to see these!
