Don’t forget to see the “big” Allis Chalmers and Gleaner combines at your nearest dealer for the fall harvest of you soybeans and sorghum. From 1956 51FBDFC0-5C04-4912-841A-B1CD2C50553B.thumb.jpeg.ba231ec4f2362dcfdb440843927cfed8.jpeg

I remember anti freeze in cans but the most popular brand in the neighborhood were rectangular cans. But I don't remember the brand. 

I've got a few of those metal anti freeze cans too. Prestone, also a genuine GM anti freeze can. Probably a few others I can't remember. I need to get them out for a picture one day.

Anybody got the 2018 Dupont classic tractor calendar? September tractor is the Canadian built Norseman. Pretty rare tractor apparently. I have this original ad in a Canadian Farm Equipment magazine in 1949. According to the calendar caption there were only 44 of these tractors built. I see there was a dealer in Sask. Wonder if they sold any here?

Antique power did an article on those.  I’ll have to look it up.  Seems like it was just another post WW II component tractor.

Yes, there was a real demand for tractors post WWII so there were a few unknown brands like this one popped up for a while. Many powered by the ubiquitous Chrysler flathead six industrial engine.

There is a Norseman at Country Heritage Park in Milton, Ontario.

 

Good to see there is at least one survivor in Canada. Here is another odd name tractor that was likely a low production post war effort.  The Intercontinental from 1948 or 49.

A most unusual tractor . 

With the snow we have now maybe its time for a set of these Bombardier half tracks for the tractor? You'll recall the name Bombardier as it went on to introduce the "Ski_doo" line of snowmobiles in the 1960s.

That Cultivac tractor was made for Vegi growers other companies like FENDT made a different version which they discontinued in early 2000s. 

That's a awesome ad just to think companies today are offering that again a half tracked tractor.

ONce a proud Canadian farm equipment company. Massey Harris seen here in this 1951 ad. Probably a model 44 tractor pulling a forage harvester.

Interesting. That type machinery was never used here so I know very little about it. Only what I read. 

Here is another likely low production , post war tractor from the Canadian Farm Equipment Dealer magazine. The Haas Atomic. A whopping 12.5 horsepower available.

Here is a very rare Swiss made tractor made in the 1940s, Willy Lang made tractors from the early 30s at this time Doodle bug tractors (cars that had been converted into tractors) than from 1939 he started manufacturing his own frame and finale drives. Tractor production ended in 1952 a total of only 25 tractors were made. This one in the photo is the only one known to exist.

The tractor has a Plymouth engine in it

Hay season is wrapping up or all done for this time of year so I should post some of my other hay equipment ads. 

The first is a “really exciting new rake” from NEW IDEA, I’ve never seen one of these before. It says that I can fit 21 different makes of tractors maybe that’s why all the men are circled around it?

And also one of Mother Deere’s square balers which says the 14-T produces bales that are “engineered” by the fastest selling baler in the country. Both ads are 1956 vintage.

IHhogfarmer Deere had to really work hard to get bad taste of there "sidewinder" model out of people's mouth. I believe it might have been on here that it was talked about,but may have been else where. 

No idea of model other than in disgust the "sidewinder" nickname. Rather than a cross feed auger, that was where the plunger was and bales came out the side.  I was very little, but some fields that had as many broken as good bales is what I remember. The adults would comment, must of been one of the new John Deere balers again.

I believe the "sidewinder" produced the infamous banana bales in the extreme. And with a sideways push coming out the bale chute they would break. But I was to young to really know. But from the fact people still bale with a 14 they must have been much better.

 

I am still enjoying looking so thanks to all for going to the work to keep posting old adds.
