Before we got a baler we put up loose hay with a buck rake. It started life as a school bus. Other old picture was inside my dad-in-law's ear corn crib.

A couple. Postcard of the original family house, the place up the road, from before brothers split the property date circa 1910(by post mark on back)

Then an aerial shot of the farm I'm on from 1949. Note the tractor(spot on field) I believe to be a F20. The cattle(if you can see them) are way out by the tree by the far road, don't see a fence anywhere near them.

A couple from quite a few decades ago....my grandpa and a couple of his brothers helping build a barn. Grandpa is the one down in the right corner looks like a cigar in his mouth. The barn is still standing on a farm a few miles from here. The other picture is of my great uncle's Baker steam engine after it broke through a bridge.

Here are a few photo's I wanted to share, my apologies for the quality, my scanner stopped working so I took "pictures" of the pictures with the digital camera. The first one is a Spirit of 76 1570 that I
drove in the July 4th parade back in 1976. I was then working for Erickson Implement in Carrington North Dakota.

These are photo's of a miniature Twin City tractor, thrasher, and wagon. The thrasher worked and was run by the Twin City tractor, he would feed about 5 or 6 heads of wheat at a time and it would put the separated kernels into the wagon. I first saw this setup in the late 60's or early 70's at the Central Steam Thrashers show in New Rockford North Dakota. I was very surprised to see the set at a steam show in western Washington in the mid 90's. After speaking to the folks I found out the gentleman that built them was the father of the man showing it in Washington. The separator has glass sides so you could see how it worked. Any of you folks from centeral North Dakota ever see this?

Dad and I making sausage.

1Plowboy · Feb 13, 2016

Bother and I with bottle lambs. Our neighbors to the south were large sheep ranchers, every year they would give us orphan lambs, I'm the one on the left, about 7 years old.

The last pic is my grand parents wedding pic.

The two up from there is the old house that "used to" be here where I live. It was replace by the house in the next pic up.

That is an old pic of my house.

The one with the steam engine is repairing Price Rd which is the next crossroad north. Back when there was no road commission and we had to take care of it ourselves.

The distinguished gentleman is my Greatgrand fathers (Roy), brother Don. It's his steam engine. Don had the steam engine and Roy had the thrashing machine. They would thrash wheat local in season and in winter would go to Westphalia area and thrash in the winter. They paid off their farms that way. I still have a logbook from 1900 full of entries.

This thread touches a sore spot with me. It points out the fact that neither I nor my parents and grandparents ever saw fit to photograph the work that went on around the place. Photographs were for special occasions, family gatherings when everybody had on their Sunday best and posed for group photos in front of the old Kodak box. How I wish I had taken shots of my dad plowing with his mule, or later when he got the 8N. What I'd give for shots inside the little dairy barn where we milked for 12 years, or the haying that Dad and I did all summer every summer for four years before I grew up and went away. There's not one photo of my granddad's old barn where I played and worked.

Wish I had taken photos of the syrup-making in my granddad's old mule-driven mill. Also wish I had photos of hog-killing time, pond-seinings, cotton picking, pea-shelling and corn shuckings that were social events as well as yearly chores. A lot of you younger fellas should be more like Larry on the Corner and diligently, conscientiously photograph your life with your family. You'll be on the wrong end of the hourglass before you know it and you'll cherish those looks back in time.

Jerry S,,,looking at the old pictures that everyone posted,,,wouldnt a Y/T Calender of old farm/tractor pictures be great? There are a bunch of really nice pictures posted below.

We have some great pictures from my maternal grandparents farm but we scanned them onto the other
computer which is apart right now as we are painting that room. I have a couple I scanned from old
slides, as I have said my dad was a logger and owned a sawmill. Maybe some other time I can show some
others.

sms · Feb 14, 2016

Kind of the same here, I'm the youngest, I think mom and dad were tired of taking pictures or too darn busy with four kids after I came along to take pictures, so I'm not in a lot of the old pictures.

1Plowboy · Feb 14, 2016

This is a picture of the farm my folks moved to in central North Dakota when I was 1. It had sat empty for a few years. Photo was taken in Sept. 1958, they moved in November of that year. My older brother
stayed home from school that winter to help with feeding the cows. Dad had about 100 Herefords and moving that time of year there was no hay on sight, had to buy all the hay and feed. They hauled hay all
winter with a '49 Ford pickup pulling 1 hay wagon. Tough winter. Not sure of the planning on that one.

Dad grew up on a farm near Jansen Nebraska. He became a preacher. His first church was near Arena North Dakota. They could not pay much, but housing was provided. He was often helping the farmers during the week. Here he is chopping silage. Would have been between '64 and '70 sometime.
