Kingston,Mi | Pa, I think that was the truck drivers job to move the grain to the front of truck. That would be an interesting exercise trying to dump on the run with that group of equipment! I remember a similar combine rusting down in my uncles junk (spare parts repository) in the 60's. From the apparent length of the bats on the reel it would appear to be a 5 or 6 ft. machine. After WW 2 he bought a new model 60 All Crop and put a pto on a 2 speed mid 30's John Deere D and became a local custom combine operator, that would have to be painful. All that noise and only capable of 4 mph on the road.
Photo's are not clear enough to positively identify my dad, but I believe he is the one in the bibs, he would have been 17 years old, between his Junior and Senior year. | |
