the cultivator frame is mounted but looks like shovel shanks are all removed and the lift handle. Not sure why you would do that, I don't think the drawbar is very usable when that is in place. I do it to get my B on the trailer for shows, and when I am ready to pull it off. Maybe they found it is easier to remove the frame from the tractor and store it with the shanks removed, and they were in the process of removing or re-installing the cultivator when the picture was taken. ------------- 1951 B, 1937 WC, 1957 D14, -- Thanks and God Bless |

And all that nice mowed hay , and the rope for the hay forks there on right. Ah yes the loose hay and putting it up, remember that well . And then the NH bailer with the Wisc engine behind the CA. WC was used to move bale wagons from field to the barn ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.

That mow would only be a third full if they would have baled it first. LOL I'd like to find a barn fresh B in that condition.

Wow...look at that loose hay. We've grown so accustomed to baled hay in our society that people would think you were crazy if you put up hay like that these days.

Also noted the scaffolding over the "barn floor" . I remember laying boards on the stringers and piling the sheaves of grain up there to maximize the holding capacity of the barn prior to threshing later on in the fall when the threshing crew came around. The work involved in moving those sheaves from the scaffold to the feeder housing was a real exercise in logistics involving various "Pitchers" but it worked!
It is sometimes hard to explain how we did things back then but it was labour intensive in any event.

I still put up loose hay, and my neighbors to think I am crazy. Although I don't do that much. Tucker, you would be surprised how much loose hay will pack. Sorry it isn't black and white but here is the CA with loose hay.  |

I have a tractor or two like that as well. They take in grass and air and give you Gas back! |
