THAT PICTURE OF THE BUZZ SAW BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES! HAVE THE BLADE AND SHAFT WITH BEARINGS ETC. AND BELT THAT I GOT G-PA IN 1973, WOOD FRAME IS LONG GONE. HE SET IT UP AND GOT USED ONCE THAT I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. THE BLADE WAS 9/10 BURIED WHERE THE OLD BARN WAS AND IS NOT USEABLE,NO PICTURES OF THE BARN AND HAVE NOT SEEN A BARN LIKE IT ANYWHERE AROUND HERE. I HAVE 1 PIC. OF ME TAKEN UP HERE WITH A LOAD OF HAY THAT I LOADED ON THE FIREWOOD TRAILER WHILE G-PA AND G-MA GOT THE LAST OUT OF THE BIG FIELD WITH THE PICKUP.THE WAGON AND HAY TRAILER WERE LOADED AND STORM WAS COMING SO I ASKED G-PA ABOUT ME TAKING THE FIREWOOD TRAILER AND GETTING THE LITTLE FIELD ABOVE THE BARN WHILE THEY GOT LEFTOVERS IN THE BIG FIELD G-MA STUCK UP FOR ME SO HE LET ME DO IT EXPECTING TO GET WHAT I COULDN'T FIT.SURPRISED HIM I GOT IT ALL.PICTURE IS NOT THE BEST BUT IT IS ALL I HAVE. 6 BALES ON EDGE IN THE BOTTEM HANG OVER THE BACK A LITTLE AND THE FRONT A LOT WITH A BOARD ACROSS THE TONGUE TO HELP SUPPORT THEM THINK THERE WAS 24 TO27 BALES ON THIS TRAILER.I WAS 15 ACCORDING TO BACK OF THIS PIC.WHICH PUTS IT BACK IN 1970.THIS IS THE ONLY PICTURE THAT I KNOW OF OF ME AT G-MAS AND G-PAS. FIRST THING I DROVE WAS HIS 1950 SOMETHING JD C40(PUTTPUTT) WHEN I WAS 15. G-MA TALKED HIM INTO LETTING ME CUT ROAD ACROSS CORNER OF THE WOODS FOR NEW FENCE LINE AND DRUG HIM OFF TO GET FIREWOOD SO I COULD DO IT WITH OUT HIM GIVING ORDERS,GUESS HE THOUGHT I DID PRETTY GOOD WHEN I GOT DONE. I HAVE NO PIC.S OF THE JD DO KNOW WHERE IT WENT,NOT SURE IT IS STILL THERE) BUT DO HAVE THE EXTRA OWNERS MANUAL FOR IT. AN OLD ADVERTISING POSTCARD FROM LATE 60'S OR EARLY 1970'S AND ANOTHER POSTCARD
