Museum Project

dmiller · May 14, 2009

I'm a high school ag teacher/FFA advisor. Our FFA is doing a project for our local museum. We are trying to identify and label a line of antique farm equipment.
The photos aren't the greatest. I had to make them small so all 15 could be posted.
If you can add any information to what we have already it would be greatly appreciated. Any stories or experiences will be good for the kids too.
Mainly we're trying to find make, model, and era/year made.

Put the pictures on Photobucket.com then you can ad them to the post one at a time. We can then do a better job at identifying them.

The last picture on the bottom is called a Horse drawn Bull rake used to rake hay up in rows to be picked up.
Grampa Kennedy had one, after the big work horse passed on he used the truck to pull it and cousin Dick would operate the lever to raise and lower it to make rows. The rest of us kids would then use pitchforks to load the loose hay on the truck to take to the barn.
Life on the farm was hard back then in the early 40s.

# 8 2 row corn seeder. Has "EM Sechler Implement and Crg. (carriage) Moline Ill." stamped on the cast iron shank beneath the seed canister.

#9 no markings could be found. has 9 shanks with wide shovels on bottom. Around here it's called a "duck foot plow", I've also heard them called field cultivators.

Number 3 around here is called a one way.

Number 4 is an Emerson Brantingham horse drawn one way. Google will bring up some more information on them.

#7 Is an A,B or C John Deere built from 1912-1933 I have a 1913 A. I determined the year with a parts book by the SC#### casting numbers on all the parts. They used year breaks on different parts as they improved them and that was also the way the determined the A, B or C models. The parts book had several different models probably up to the 1950's
