A few more pictures. Used two different steam engines on thresher. And a third for the sawmill.

First time I ever seen a Huber Portable! I did see it was a return flue engine. Now what brand is the engine in the middle picture? Is oats for sale up there?

Forget - will check and post back later. Called owner and my son, neither answering right now.

Those oats spoken for. We have a flock of sheep, and goats and llamas. They will be getting it dolled out over the winter as a supplement to commercial feed and hay. Straw will be used for bedding. Don't know if there are other producers with oats for sale or not.

Big engine on the sawmill is a Gar Scott.

Nice steam pictures! Ron Mn

Correction, that's an Advance. Had the Gar Scott on the sawmill previous day.

Sure was fun to stand back and watch somebody else pitch wasn't it?

RayP(MI) · Aug 29, 2017

Yeah, special thanks to the guys who forked all that into separator. That said, I tweaked my back pretty good forking the straw into the baler. Been pretty careful walking around here last couple days. Getting old ain't for sissies.
