I doubt if this is possible i would love to see how the molds for the casting of the parts and pieces for these old tractors and anything that was caste in the 1800s and early 1900s i realize the molds were made of sand but to stand by and watch these pieces being made would be a dream come true.

Companies were sure proud of their patents back then!

Must have been different back then, today it takes years and thousands in attorney fees to get one started, then China steals it and nothing can be done!

These may be tractor parts, who knows what s mixed in there!

I suspect little changed from the early 1900 until video came about in the 40's.

Lots of labor involved!

Just imagine, you could almost construct an entire tractor of wood, using the wooden patterns that were needed to make the molds for all of the castings.
All polished and varnished, it would be beautiful even if not functional.
