It's like a chubby woman who cooks well. You just wanna keep her around for comfort and reliability

Over seeded orchard grass into some thin spots of last year’s seeding with the A and a Van Brunt drill that my Dad used for years. His seeding notes are still written under the lid.

Welcome to the Project. The mighty Tenere 700

Pictures of running beans and planting wheat the last week

Nice to see some heavy crops. Although if it's like ours the heavy stuff didn't yield like it looked. Got really nice straw to bale but it sure didn't seem to be very big heads. The wheat were on now is not very tall but it's coming in really good. Hope the rest goes as good but getting back in to the drowned out patches Been awesome harvest weather the past week here. Ran more hours in one day now then we did in a week earlier in September. Not much dew and low humidity, could get rolling by mid morning and it was still dry. Haven't had harvest weather like this for alot of years. But these winds yesterday and today are making a mess of canola swaths around here. Thankfully we finished that a couple days ago. Had the 1682 out to party on canola this year too! Was nice to see it action again

hardtail, Do I EVER remember the 1958 Edsel! My Mom and Dad traded their 1955 Studebaker Champion in for a used 1958 Edsel Pacer three tone, two door hardtop. The 1958 Edsel was the only year of the three years (1958, 1959 and 1960) Edsel's were built. And I'd bet the farm (If I still had it) that the reason for only one year, hardtail, was for the fear you'd have of working on one. This is the center of steering wheel shift you speak of! This is a photo of a 1958 Edsel Pacer convertible. The Edsel's were ribbed for having a "horse collar" grille. I remember there was a Pacer and Citation models. I don't remember if there were others. Sadly, this is the ONLY photo I have of our Edsel. Mom and Dad asked me to drive them to Seattle to visit friends and relatives. Mom is standing beside the Edsel at a cousin's place. Those children are all retired now and both ladies are long gone. One piece of sad/good news, our Edsel still exists in Lewistown, Montana! Gary😁

Edsel models were the Ranger, Pacer (Ford bodies) Corsair, Citation (Mercury). My dad almost bought one until the price suddenly jumped when he tried to buy it.

Now that I'e taken up full-time residence at the farm I can sit at the kitchen table and watch while I read Red Power. Today's (first) victim was a chipmunk. When I went out to check the kill, spotted another one. Went back and got the gun, got him too. Would have gotten a third but was out of ammo. It took awhile but I found my shells, now reloaded and watching again.

RIP one of the greatest songwriters ever!!

Grass went smooth. Engine runs well. Spoke with a lobbiest person from Farm Bureau. Says they (democrats) have finally realized they are broke. If the initiatives get Yes votes they wont have annny money to Eminate Domain any buffer ways.

I have a 226 that rides under the seat of my truck. Good gun .

Where? 😆 Mac

poor farmer don't even go there with the thinking about the sleds I've been walking past mine and keep walking not ready for that just yet, few sprinkles here as well, been thinkin on jumping in the sprayer for 1 more tank i got a bit of Canada thistle in one field id like to try and get this fall db1486 where abouts in Manitoba did you farm again, buddy of mine has been done for quite awhile he farms outside of Winnipeg

Wind is crazy here today too. I had to park tractors to block the wind to dump the trucks. Otherwise be nothing going in the hopper. Also moving the box alot when lifted right up. Can feel the wind in the combine too. Had showers off and on since noon but it's cleared up and hopefully dry enough to get back at it before dark. Probably will be, been late nights all week, why stop now 😂

we're combining our soybeans since three days or fourth day now but its still a lot more to go till done. Wind is nuts here too

But.... but..... it's a Studebaker!! I'm going to guess they needed something with a little more room? Mike

The Edsel had a model that had the push button transmission placed in a circle in the traditional horn center location, and I thought steering columns were unpleasant to work on now 😁

twostepn2001, after thinking about it, that makes sense. That would be like calling Edsel Ford's 1939 Lincoln Continental convertible a "Ford Lincoln!" Maybe some of you haven't heard or remembered this situation as well. Henry Leland was an investor in the new Ford Motor Company at its startup in 1903. I can't remember all of the particulars, and Roger surely will. This is a 1903 Model A Ford owned by CL Best, out watching one of his 110 hp steam engines pulling one of his combined harvesters. His chauffeur is sitting in the car. Ford used a two cylinder engine. This is a 1903 Cadillac. Cadillac used a single cylinder engine and a taller radiator. Henry Ford and Henry Leland didn't see eye to eye on Leland's investment in the Ford Motor Company. Ford wanted to build inexpensive, simple automobiles for the multitudes and Leland liked automobiles that upper class people wanted. The Model K Ford of 1907 was an automobile Ford built and hated building. It was more complicated than simple automobiles. One weak spot in the Model K Ford was this 6-cylinder engine the car required. I understand that it was subject to crankshaft breakage and recalls. Anyway, Henry Leland was bought out by Henry Ford. Leland stuck with his Cadillac line. Henry Ford made his multi-millions selling simple, less expensive cars. Henry Leland produced Cadillacs AND Lincolns. I forget the exact year, but sometime in the early 1920s, I believe, Lincoln Motor Company went into receivership. America was enduring very hard times in this period. But people were still buying Model T Fords. This is a photo of Henry and Wilfred (son) Leland signing papers over to Edsel and Henry Ford for Lincoln Motor Company. I don't know if I detect a "held back smile" on Henry Ford's face or not. This is Mr. & Mrs. Edsel Ford with their Lincoln, shortly after purchase from Leland's. And this Lincoln isn't a "Ford Lincoln." It's just a Lincoln, twodtepn2001! Gary😉😁

That art deco styling only lasted a short time but produced some of the most beautiful imaginative designs of all time

Laws used to be if damage occurred on a new vehicle before initial sale it could be repaired and there was no requirement to divulge to purchasing party Both my buddies Dad and my cousin owned the same car and color, 58 Plymouth Fury with push button trans in Salmon, my buddies was retired from road service but we used to pilot the boat around the pastures learning to drive at 13 yrs old, ... my cousins was involved in an accident that wrote it off, a 74 olds delta 88 ran a yield sign, no small car itself, my cousin said it spun it like a top after the contact

We have got some IH red on her! waiting on new gauges in the mail. Next will be sand blasting emgine covers and getting my sheet metal guy to straighten them and paint them next. Magneto cleaned up good too

I worked as head painter at Billings Chrysler Plymouth Toyota from 1970 into 1974. I know we sold Imperials even though they weren't a part of the listing above. I guess we unknowingly called them Chrysler Imperials. One of my scariest things in those four years was when we had a transportation damaged Imperial that had to be repainted. I sweat blood over that. But it was apparently sold as a new car. I don't know? I wasn't in that department. Gary😗

Imperial was a stand alone brand at Chrysler from 1955 to to 1975. Reason l know that is l used to know a guy in Midland, Texas that collected and restored Imperial cars. He also has a restored Stearman airplane that his Dad used as a crop dusting plane back in the 50's and 60's.

Mike, that car is a Chrysler Imperial! Gary

Mike, I should have added that the Montana Bullseye is the only remaining US Army Air Corps bombing target. From what I've read, the others in other training states were built over or plowed under. Gary😉

That bullseye is neat. I've seen that & other targeting features over the years, searching on Google Earth. I also use a USAF test card for camera & lens calibration & resolution testing. That lo res pic does little justice to the lines on everything being razor sharp. Which is just what is needed to test out my good Zeiss glass & Aero films. Mike

I see Plymouth tail fins, but what is the car with the tail rockets by the cab? Chrysler? The name badge is familiar & I can't place it. Mike

I sure miss Anson too! My late friend Mark Ohlde bought this photo off of ebay after I found it for him. What an awesome photo of three 40-140 hp Reeves oil burner steam engines in Texas. They must have a resource for water and it looks like they won't go without eating too. A Hart Parr three wheel Forty tractor on the belt. A brand new McCormick-Deering Farmall Regular wearing fenders. An IH D model Van and a DC3. My friend Gil Mangles mimicked the old photo of an International D-model van with an old DC3 airplane. Done at Kalispell, Montana this time with a B-17 . A double header steam locomotive out of Lewistown, Montana headed for Harlowton. The siding at right was where the Milwaukee RR delivered carloads of aviation gasoline for the B-17s during WWII. I still remember those B-17s leaving Runway 25 in a full throttle, 28 cylinders in a climbing turn to the east, heading to the bombing target 12 miles north of Winnett, Montana. This was a 1942 photo at the Lewistown satellite (to the Great Falls Army Air Corps Base atop Gore Hill. This saved the bombers about 180 miles a trip, flying out of Lewistown. Gasoline was scarce and rationed to the public. The target still exists and is shown from space If I remember correctly, that is a 1,000 yard bullseye. Gary😉

Competitor to the IH CO-7044 Unistar

Freightliner 'Mountaineer,' with driven front axle

The mag should mount below the generator, some had a distributor on the side under the carb, the mounting boss is there but it's not machined so I would say mag was on it originally

Its been coon here. Seens like I get one and two show up to it's place.

One of the many bonuses of living where people ain't.🤠

The only way they can take it is if you let them. DOE will be up to no good after WA Supreme Court cut them lose to do whatever they choose with no accountability to no one. Going to get interesting.
