I can't say all that much good about the stacking job

I don't think I ever stacked that style though. Always had one down the middle for the first 4 or 5 deep?

[Steve C.]

They should have stacked the bales on the trailer from left to right instead of right to left....that baler makes the same consistent length bales that my IH baler makes

He's stackin' 'em wrong on purpose, so the guy on the M will want to trade places with him and show him how to do it right.

for those that like old farmall cub ads heres some that iv saved over the years

[Loadstar]

man loadstar you must have quite a stash of old ads

Well lets just say that if old ads ever become worth much money I will be able to retire comfortably.

Heres an interesting view of Case's first four wheel drive, the 1200 way back in the mid sixties.

Same here. An 8 foot wide trailer would take two cross ways and one length ways across. Dad built a bigger wagon on a 2 ton truck chassis that would take 3 across full width. We could stack 200 bales on that 20 foot trailer but you had to do a top notch job stacking if it was going to make it home in one piece.

Generally regarded as one of Massey's best ever combines (around here anyway) was the Super 92 as seen in this Country Guide ad from the early sixties.

Those old Super 92's were made on King Street West in Toronto. That area sure looks different today with atll the redevelopment. Packed in like sardines! Greed!

Very true, Massey Harris (later Ferguson) was one of the great old Canadian companies. I guess the same thing happened to the builders of these Cockshutt combines at Brantford.

Now those are some different Fords that I have never seen even advertised here. And the Jubilee Ford refers to the year 1953 being the 50th anniversary for Ford. I think the tractors, cars and trucks from that year might be a lilttle more collectible for that reason.

Here is a duplex hitch ad from Caterpillar showing several different implements behind the old Caterpillars back in 1953.

Similar ad from Australia in 1960. Those old Cat ads were more like a 'story' about the tractors and how they were being used - different to most ads.

Any interest in this old Case ad???

Ralph I agree, best Massey Combine still couple around here that combine 50 acres a year.

Ray, the custom cutters that used to work this area in the sixties seemed to prefer Masseys, mostly the Super 92. Their low profile was a good feature when loaded on the back of a truck.

Art, I noticed the same thing on the Cat ad. Guess they needed the extra weight for traction?

And those Australian Case tractors look great to me. That page could have come right out of the Canadian farm papers from the early sixties. Here is an ad for an earlier Case. The first diesel powered model, the 500. Back about 1953 I believe.

[Loadstar]

And while on the subject of Case tractors, my Uncle owned one of these LA models back in the early fifties. You can see how the 500 was very similar in design but with the new diesel 6 cylinder engine.

Ad for John Deere 5020 from the mid 60s.

Now there was a popular tractor, although not quite so numerous as the smaller 4020.

Here is another very popular line of tractors that we used to see a lot of. The Super W4 McCormick.

Thank you all a million times I have just relived my life "Loadstar" at the top of page 36 I had made up my mind to ask for a picture of a Case 1200 now it is down to one request although it is green does anyone have a picture of the JD Wagoners?

It seems I have seen 90% of these ads or the actual machine.

"Loadstar" on the topic of value I was doing some searching for a picture of JD 8010 and found a sales brochure for a JD8020 sold in N.D . for $1800.00.

Amazing! Well I doubt it was this one that I have here. I believe the 8010 was introduced same time as the rest of the ten series in 1960. The end of the 2 cylinder era.

I'm not sure if this one was a Wagner. The ones I am thinking of were the WA 14 and WA16 that came along after the 8010.

[IKS]

Thank you ,

You are right it is not the Wagoner it was JD with 6-71 GM engine ,I remember as a kid them being shown in the JD Days show at the hall, school students at our school were always taken there , about the same time they featured a JD 105 with 22' table and 2 belt pickups picking likely 16' swaths.

I'm not sure which ones it happened to be but a couple of 8010 brochures were listed but not sold yet at less than $500.00

Ralph, there is an 8010 in this part of ON. I think owned by Ryan farms.

I have seen it at the Blyth Steam show.

Ryan's told me it is an 8020 and they got it down in Arkansas about 15 years ago. Deere stopped production of the 8020 about 1967 - 1968. When I worked for Deere in 1970, they were selling the Wagner WA-14 and WA-17 models. I remember going thru the spec book at Welland and asking about them. They were made I think in Oregon (or Washington) by the Wagner Iron Works. I think I have a brochere for them in my collection somewhere but I would have to spend some time looking.

Seems to me there was a WA something JD sold here at a farm auction a couple of years ago and it brought big money. They and the 8010 are a rare old tractor. Tractors really grew in size quickly in those days. Only a few years before the biggest tractor from JD was this 820 two cylinder. From a 1957 "Furrow" magazine.

Interesting to see the French version of IH tractor advertising. My high school french is a little rusty so I can't translate much of it.

I happened to have this Massey combine ad handy so thought I'd post it. This is from 1954. The two biggest Masseys at the time, the 80 and 90 (Specials). Both those models harvested a lot of grain out here in the west in their day.
