Just for informational putposes there was another on the back cover for the new IH pickups, and inside the front cover for the new 1956 Chevrolets. Love those old ads. Hope this pic posts OK.

My father in law gave me 2 country gentleman magazines, June and October 1941. They sold for 5 cents then. Pretty neat the way things used to be back then! [Reply]  [No Email]

Dad bought a ford 6000 to power it. I think it had about 60 hp at the PTO and the SOS tranny would go slow enough to handle the tall corn. That was a lot back then. Yes it was slow, however so was the gismo that blew the silage up a tube to fill the silo. Had to plan ahead and start filling the silos before the corn turned brown. So much for the "GOOD OLD DAYS".

Pulled it with a WD Allis and sometimes with a F-20. The cutter had a 4 clyinder flat head and when it was running with the WD pulling it and a B JD pulling the wagon. We was honkin. Seemed like we filled for every neighbor for miles around. Fun, Fun, Fun. [Reply]  [No Email]

About the amount fellas where growing at the time that harvester was new! Bruce [Reply]  [No Email]
