Glad to hear you chiming Chub, that way we know you didn't get blown away today. Much damage over that way? Tim

Ralph thanks for posting the picture of the panel truck, guess I will write the old man in the picture and see if he has any left for Christmas this year, might even order one for Gary if he behaves himself in Minn. Here are a couple photos from 1910. Both of these are from building the Erie railroad in the section of land where I now work. The first one is very near where an overpass which crossed Indiana State road 15 and the second one is where the tracks cross Silver Creek. Sadly the track is now abandoned and in some places there is not even a trace of it while in other spots the elevation work is still apparent. Tim

Anson, Back on page 606 Post #6055 I put a picture of a Bryan Steam Tractor on here. Some time before that Gary had posted more information about these tractors but I haven't found it this morning. Sure lots of interesting items of historical importance at that sale. Tim

And how about a yellow truck.

Since I haven't added anything for such a long time thought I would put this Red Tractor on here tonight. This was from last weekend over in Ohio, sorry I didn't get there in time to get any action photos. Tim

I am confronted by this statement... "it seems like all we own is old junk". Sorry, but it cracks me up. Well put Palouse.

Ok Roger here is a note qouted from OTB's thread on the RPRU. "Today I want to focus the countdown on the IHC Autowagons. The largest ever exhibit of International Harvester Hiwheeler(autowagon) vehicles will be at Red Power Round-up at La Porte. All years, 1907 to 1915 will be present. Clyde Berkshire, {one of the founding fathers of the International Harvester Collectors} is heading up getting as many of these existing autowagons as possible to La Porte for this first time convention of the IHC Hiwheelers." Does this mean you and your Autowagon will be in Indiana in June? Tim

Thanks for the narrow gauge pictue Roger. The bevel gear drive to the wheels is interesting. Is that a common system? Ralph that is the first load of apples I seen like that. Here in the midwest it is more common to use an "M" to harvest morels and it won't be long now. Tim

Thanks Art for the note on the windmill - I think. Looks like one more thing to add to the reading, research list. And thanks to you Roger for all the great info - period. Really liked the Plow HP chart, will have to steal that and share a couple more places. Tim

Gary, I really liked the picture featuring the Ames and slat stacker. What is taht on the upper far left of the picture, a cell phone tower? Any guess on what part of the country this was taken - or what country? Tim

Ralph, I love peaches and have decided that is what is in you picture. Thanks Also want to thank everyone for all of the great stuff of late. As Delta pointed out, now and then if a person misses a day on here it can get you way behind. John if you find any more pictures of those WD18s make sure you post them.

Gary, The two pictures of "special" Woods engines have me wondering. Are both of these pictures of the same or same model of engine? Is the negative reversed for one of the pictures - hence the right and left versions? Or how mixed up am I? Tim

Three Generations and a Century of Photographs Phil Krause, his father, Herbert and grandfather, Joseph H. were all past residents of Huntington County Indiana. Each of these men used the camera to chronicle their lives and the rich interests they had in life. Phil and I became acquainted in 1968 due to his diligent punctuality of always arriving at the gun shop where I worked at 6:00 PM every Friday night. In addition to being a gun nut and avid competitor in the shooting sports Phil had several other serious avocations including aviation and photography. Over the next twenty years Phil and I managed to find a few minutes almost every week to share thoughts and ideas about different aspects of our lives. A few times our extended visits while attending gun shows resulted in discussions some of which solved most of the world’s problems, or at least we thought we had it figured out well enough that if everyone else would pay attention things would be wonderful. During the 70’s we even dreamed of having our own island where we would write the firearms laws ourselves instead of letting Washington do it. I would use up a few pages explaining some of our conversation but that will have to wait for another time. It is with extreme gratitude I want to thank a Mr. Bill Holden of Huntington, Indiana. Bill became acquainted with Phil and published on his website some photos belonging to Joseph, Herbert and Phil. Included with the photos is a story authored by Phil 10-27-42 – 6-18-09. Here are links to different parts of this history. Panama Canal construction pictures by Joseph H. Krause http://www.huntingtoncounty.com/panama001.htm Aerial and other historical photos by Herbert Krause http://www.huntingtoncounty.com/remember.htm Photos and article by Phil Krause http://www.huntingtoncounty.com/hosler.htm Thanks for letting me post this rememberance of one day late for an old veteran. Also wanted to post a better copy of Joseph's early airplane photo.

Well here is one of those posts that almost don't fit here, but because of the date - 1911 - I thought it was close enough to all the Mod T photos that I could slip it in. Hope to fill in more on the photographer in a few days. Tim

And another Eagle - I could have spent all day just taking Eagle pictures. Forgot how many places these can be found on the tractors. For anyone that missed it here is a link to the auction site. Lots of good pictures. http://www.aumannauctions.com/auction_page...e.php?pid=12206

And an Eagle for Delta Dirt.

Once again another post for the tractor.

And a couple pictures for Ralph.

And here is the plow guide.

Been a while since I have tried loading pictures so this might take a while. Anyway here is the tractor.

We drove up to the Gary Parker auction today. Did not have any plans to purchase anything but thought I should bring back a few pictures for some of you. The first will be the poster on an IHC 15-30 and since the tractor came from Montana thought I should put a picture of it on here, along with the plow guide. Tim

Here is a picture from the NTA show from a couple weeks ago. A hundred or so pages back on this thread there was mention of and possibly a picture of a Bryan Steam tractor. Here is a functional one from north western Indiana. This tractor was made in the twenties and operated at a rather high steam pressure. I wanted a picture of this tractor because about once a month I sharpen saw blades for Bryan Steam of Peru, Indiana where this tractor was made. Tim

Roger, I'll just echo kjohn's comments. Thanks again.

Good morning all, Ralph you mentioning that you have never seen a soybean planting growiing reminded me that I was going to post this picture last fall and just now getting to it. One of our colorful posters sent several pictures to me of Cotton Plants, and a note of explaination. The physical size of the plant suprised me. Hope DD will post the rest of the pictures and note. Except for the sadness shared in several posts of late this thread just seems to get better all the time. The historical info and especially all of the various locations and sharing of knowledge is just great. THANKS Tim
