Allied sold a lot of front end loaders here in the 1970s. This one is installed on a 656 IH tractor.

Got that exact loader on our 766. It's sure moved a lot of bales and other stuff. Not nearly as strong as the ad says it is though.

They say a Leon is one of the strong loaders. I know my old Cancade has more welds than steel on it (slight exaggeration) from years of twisting and shock loads. 

I wonder if anybody ever installed a loader on one of these 2+2 tractors? Check out the prices from 1981.

It can be done because here is a pic of one. Several years ago over YT some said a loader couldn't be put on a 2+2.  I posted this pic I found online then it turned into a why it shouldn't be done.  lol

Thanks for the photo. I figured it should be possible but had never seen it done. Must be a whole new point of view when using a loader and sitting in the back half of an articulated tractor. 

Getting down in the 30s here today. Winter on the way and time to check the anti freeze to make sure it can handle the coming cold. Wouldn't want to damage that modern $5000 combine as stated in this 1955 ad. Those were the days when you could buy the biggest modern combine for $5000.

I actually saw a very similar MM uni harvestor at a farm auction sale a couple of years back. Could have bought it cheap but I didn't. Minneapolis Moline had some of the nicest ads in the Country Guide through the 1950s. Usually in colour. Like this one from 1954.

In the days long before battery powered grease guns (I don't own one) I guess this air powered grease gun was considered the ultimate greasing tool. Looks like a Farmall H on that pull type combine in this 1948 ad.

I haven't posted here lately. I'm getting slack, Ralph... Here is an ad for the Hart Parr 40 tractor. I know they are very scarce, although I think one or two still exist?

My mom's uncle (my great uncle) G.R. Hamilton had one of them near Winifred, in central Montana "a few years back." I sure wish I had the three wheel tractor still. This photo isn't much, but it's the best I have. Gary or OBG59e6b71c13bc3_Hart-Parr40threewheelGRHamiltonnearWinifredimp.thumb.jpg.343fa421e4d6b694def218d238077f51.jpg

I am thinking that 1480x3 is in the midwest or west. I have CRS though

I'm a bit lazy at posting too  but  not that I don't  have the material.  I think I might even have posted  this one before. but as winter is around the corner it seemed like  a  good time. Might be  needing these "wheel skis" for your wagons and trailers.  From 1952.

We have been discussing the 123 and 125 SP combines on Old Binder Guy's thread.

Do you have any ads that would show sales price of a 125 SP in the 1950 era??

Anybody know??

Gotta swipe your 1928 Progressive Farmer ad of the Farmall Regular-----i've got a 1928 version.  Thanks for posting.

Wish I could help but hardly any of the vintage ads included a price. The closest exception I have is this Cockshutt 428 combine ad from 1960 at $6912. That is F.O.B. Brantford and I guess there would be some freight on it to get out here to Sask. No cutting parts included at that price, just the ten foot  pickup header. Did it include the pickup? Maybe not. Anyway, it is interesting to compare to today's prices. There was a time when a brand new combine was priced about the same as a quarter section of farm land here. I think now you might buy a half section for the price of a new combine.

Thanks------I had figured maybe in the $5--6,000 range.

Looks like the Cockshutt still had the bottom mounted engine in 1960.

My dad bought two 141's in 1954+/-  --------and ending up parking the 125.  When was the 141 first introduced?

Moving the engine up top was a big item for the 141.
