Took some family pictures while dad mom and brother were out. Turned out good...precious memories. Yes I married way up. (Way up) Biult the kids and wife a temporary fence for the pups to be outside some. Cost of zero. For material (used t posts and extra mesh with 10,000 in tools involved.

Professor----- I can easily tell that Rube Goldberg designed your steam ditcher "apparatus"---------but who manufactured it. (quite a machine for its times-----lots of moving parts) I can hear it clinking and clunking; and huffing and puffing way off down here in Mississippi!!!?? ******* Not a coal or wood burning stove------but I have an interesting old stove to pull out of my old shop (if I ever get around to it). Don't know if it is a coal oil or exactly what??? It's been covered up for most of my life------hoping to clear some junk out through spring and summer. Never really paid much attention to my grandmother's wood stove-------but I did recognize that she knew how to manage the heat and had to be a good cook to do so. It was just a way of life to her-----probably be totally skeptical of eating micro wave fixed meals of today. Her cooking must have been pretty good------the Baptist preacher showed up most every Sunday for Sunday dinner!!? (that's lunch here in Mississippi) DD

Runner, thought you ought to know what your pet coon is doing when your gone on vacation. I"m assuming it's a she coon???

Just another instance where there wasn’t enough chlorine in the gene pool on a given day.....

Great picture of your family Mader.

Least she kept herself busy lol!

88 Power, Since your a G Allen fan you need one of these for your hot stuff.

Nice pic still praying for your Dad and the family.

I'm not sure but somebody will know which tractor it is for sure. Great video showing the introduction of the 5010. They sold a lot of JD press drills around here. Never saw any that wide. 24 feet was a more common size here. Here is a dual hitch of 5100 end wheel IH drills that I never saw around here. Most were the double disk or hoe-press drills.

And to further complicate things.....not all types of coal produce the same BTUs. For cooking and general heat, any will work. For making a forge weld the cleaner, hotter burning coal makes the job a lot easier. Doesn’t matter a lot here but like wood, some types burn much hotter than others.

Yes wood will work------There were people in the area that used wood to cook on-----It had to be extremely dry to give off a lot of heat.---it also took a lot of wood to keep the temp up. As I recall they use to cut a lot of small saplings and store them in a separate wood shed and they called it kitchen wood

I have that brochure and its dated 1969. We seeded with LZBs identical to those on the cover from the mid 60s to the early 80s. Started out with 4 and added 2 more later on.

that's really cool, where any of does seeders sold in your area? Awesome JD 5010 or is it a 5020

Spring is just around the Corner, our Snow is starting to melt slowly

At this point what I'm thinking is getting the radiator mounted correctly, grill mounted correctly. Then set the hood on there to determine my height and then mount the front of the fuel tank which I'm sure I have to alter the bracket then the back end of the fuel tank I might make something a little different so I can fit a battery little different
