Picture 11 is of some old barn door hinges. Largest stock of antique hinges I ever saw.

Great thread John!! This brings back many memories. In my youth, I ran a mobile feed unit,grinding feed for livestock farmers. Some of my customers were in their eighties and still feeding livestock. Their barns were much like yours,wood floors and feed racks and their livestock were the best conditioned animals you would ever see.
Three years ago,I bought a plow from just such a man whose barn was much like your. His house had an addition on the back where the team would pass through to load the family in the nnalert to go on outings. This house addition also had a wooden water trough to water the team as well. Unfortunately,shortly thereafter,the farm was sold and both the house and barns were torn down.

You have a veritable farmer's museum right there.
Wonderful pictures; I can almost smell the old harness, dried up grease, old hay and stuff!

I have never seen anything like that! Everything is so well preserved. It looks like someone should walk in any minute and go back to work! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
