Ruby Red Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Added another grain hauler for this years crops, found this #100 Flare box in Illinois through Red Power Magazine - Spent lots of hours repairing and painting box and #52 wagon gear with McCormick hoist, don't believe boxes like this were ever sold new in Ontario Canada 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George 2 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The reason the boxes weren't sold in Canada was explained to my father at the time we bought our #52 wagon in 1955. They were able to get the wagon in duty free if they locally mounted the made in Canada Firestone Champion tires. Since there were several box builders in Canada at the time there was a large duty on the Knapheide boxes that made them cost prohibitive. If I remember right there was at least one box builder in both Ontario and Quebec and you had to buy their boxes to avoid duty. However, Dad wanted his for a hay rack so the box was a moot point. I have seen a considerable number of #52's in Ontario and Quebec but never one with a box on it other than one that had an old Turnco 150 bushel box that was obviously made much later (like in the mid 1960's). The standard set up was with a hay rack. Of course by the 1970's the duty was abolished with the free trade act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 606 Farmall was build from a 504 Farmall, which we found as a parts tractor, less the engine, so at the same time we were retiring our 303 combine with a perfectly good 6 cyl. 221 engine, same engine used in Int 606 utility, lengthened frame channel rails and sheet metal 7", build new rad with extra tubes for increased cooling and installed 606 badges.

Ruby Red Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just finished applying 28% nitrogen on to sweet corn and popcorn, cultivating rows for the last time and it will be too tall. The Potatoes and Soybeans will still be possible several times and the weeds will be beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
