I thought he had some kind of a mask on, but facing the wrong way! Zooming in a bit revealed it was the hanger hole.

Thanks! I was trying to figure out why the back of his head was weird. I can definitely tell it’s a hanger hole since you mentioned it. I think he does have on mask tho.

I was confused by back of the operator's head also. Then a couple of posts mentioned hanger hole. This puzzled me for a bit until I realized what a "hangar hole" is. It's the hole in the calendar so you can hang it on a nail -Duh!

That was before we had to use that nasty GM seed and just breathed in those fumes. We had an old Hagie sprayer and I remember hitting a hole and breaking an axle, I just rode it down a ways and then jumped off.

No thank YOU!
Ralph, most of the machines depicted on your calendar are stuff I would actually like to run for a few hours. That one, not so much. Thanks for posting it.....and all the others. I sure enjoy reflecting on Ag's progress over the decades.

I have spent countless hours on three different open station high boys like those. Spraying lots of methyl parathion. Then finally bought the John Deere 6000. Though I had died and went to heaven! Now the 4720’s are a dream.

Glad some find this old stuff interesting. Have to admit I've never even seen a sprayer like the one on this calendar page. But then we never had a need for high clearance sprayers here in the 1960s either.

Anyone notice the moon cycles on the lower right? Which causes me to ask....I noticed June had 4 and August had 5. Anyone know which months have the most and which months the least?
