Eric V Bielke Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I am sure he does when it is not in the shed. He takes it to a lot of the local tractor shows and bales hay with it. Always gets a lot of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Wisconsins were so popular here on swathers in the 1960s and a lot of them sat outside during the off season. Rain down the exhaust if it wasn't covered and they would be hard to start and missing next harvest. Here is something a little different. A Case-o-matic ad from 1958.

Loadstar Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Since there is a thread on the Canadian Versatile 145 elsewhere on this forum I thought this 1971 Versatile ad would fit right in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Buses might not seem ag related but in fact a lot of farm parts were delivered to small towns by bus for years. Recent news of Greyhound Canada closing down their service to Alberta, Sask. and Manitoba was in the news. Made me think of some of the really cool looking old vintage fifties buses. No doubt I rode on one nearly this nice as a kid but I didn't pay it much attention at the time. This 1952 ad shows a Trailways bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport? Yes, probably. But strange people scenery can be had much cheaper at the (any) local Walmart! Keith- 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostepn2001 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 This don't have much to do with tractors either but it probably could've been used to fly in parts in a emergency. l just thought this is a neat ad from the May 1957 Flying magazine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Crop nearly ready to swath and this was what we would have used in 1956. I'd hate to try cutting canola with one of these little 161 IH swathers or any other make of the time. Of course we didn't grow canola in those days either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been over six years now and I still haven't used up all my vintage ads. I'll admit I have re-posted a few when it was necessary. Like this one for mid fifties Massey Harris combines. My dad had a 60 Massey and you rarely saw them advertised. This ad shows a 70 which I think is even smaller than the 60. Electric table lift? Dad's had hydraulic. The big model 90 was only for the big wealthy farmers in those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
