forwhldrv Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Put some lights on the 450 last weekend. This tractor will live under a tarp after Christmas for the winter I have a couple small leaks still to fix then I’d like to have it painted in the spring after plow days. The tent behind it has my daughters M and my girlfriends 450 in it along with my cub cadet 125 and a couple other lawnmowers. The Super M with the loader sits ready with a can over the exhaust and the gas off and battery disconnected. The other SM stays covers up for the time until it has a roof over it and the little Ferguson sits out all year ready to go. I really think a building is in order before more tractors. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horse is 30 years old she tolerates me because I give her carrots on a daily basis. She is as my girlfriend describes her an expensive lawnmower that does a bad job she has had her since the horse was 2 she was shown at fairs and 4h shows since my girlfriend was 12. The horse doesn’t seem important by anything we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a timber frame and ur willing, id love to see more pics of it. The house is stuck built it’s a 2 car garage with an enclosed porch that allows access to the apartment upstairs. The main farm house has some original timber frame in it lots of hand hewn beams still showing in the basement the first part of the main farmhouse was built in 1760’s I guess the old set of stairs in it going to the basement are hand hewn logs with the topside axed flat for the treads. The house is built around a massive fireplace in the center of the old house. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was me last winter fixing a frozen baseboard heat water pipe on the north side of the house by the door. You can see the hand hewn beam in the photo for a sill plate. I opted to cut a hole in the floor rather than crawl the 20 feet up through the crawl space to get to it in the area that is only about 14-16” deep 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old New England it’s full of history all around us. We are not far off the Connecticut river and a few other decent sized rivers that were major Indian routes during French Indian wars and forts were built along it during the revolutionary war too so lots of American history in our back yards. It too bad Massachusetts is know for Massholes now because of the people that live within 30 miles of the ocean. I’ve been down through Concord mass where Paul Revere rode on his famous ride. The old house we have has a small room built in it by the back of the fire place. We were told it was to hide people in during the revolutionary war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cabin is only from the late 60s...but upon digging into property lines(spent hrs at the borough building) and having a survey, i found our property was used as a pasture for a small dairy that was on our road. In addition there was record of a small cabin on our property from the 30s...i found the location and metal detectored a bunch of artifacts...im still digging back there. So far ive found some brass buttons, bottles, pottery and shells(not American). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
