  1. What I call a drill is used to sow the grain and a combine harvests the grain.
  2. Never heard of it, I'm gonna check it out!
  3. This one has an engine on it, but I've never seen one working that had it's own engine, they all worked off the tractor's PTO. I don't know what they're going to do with this one, I just saw it and stopped to take pictures, but it does look restorable.
  4. I'm out of "Like"s...but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  5. Yes sir!
  6. Well worth a look and a listen- https://www.instagram.com/p/CSWwhLcgEE5/
  7. Is gearrrrhead grrrl back in yet another configuration?😲
  8. When I was just a kid, many years ago, our neighbor had an International model 76 combine and a Farmall 300 tractor, which me and my brothers thought must be the biggest tractor in the world because my daddy and grandfather had 2 Farmall C tractors. He used to combine our wheat, and most everybody else's in the area, because most of the farmers around would sow a few acres of wheat, or barley, or oats, so it wouldn't be cost effective to buy a combine to thresh 2 acres of wheat every year. So our neighbor would combine it for them, when he could get to it, because he had the only combine around. He had the kind you had to ride on and fill the bags and tie them, then dump them off the platform so they could be loaded onto a truck, or trailer, or wagon. Somebody had to ride that combine behind that tractor all day, in the dust and heat. We used to like to get to ride it- all we did was hand the man that knew what he was doing the bags, or a piece of twine that we pre-cut to tie the bags with, and we thought it was fun, because we were kids. His looked like this, but I couldn't find any pictures of the one that had the platform that you had to ride, all the pictures showed a bin. Then after my Daddy bought a 5000 Ford tractor, he bought a combine too. You didn't have to ride it because it had a bin that held 26 bushels, but where the other combine never stopped, we had to stop when the bin was full and fill bags one at a time, because everybody still wanted their wheat in sacks. This combine didn't have the canvas belt to bring the wheat up, it had an auger. But the best thing was the hydraulic grain head. You had to turn a crank on that 76 to raise or lower the grain head, but the 80 had a cylinder underneath to raise and lower it by moving a lever on the tractor. It was the cat's ass when you got into wheat that had blown down. I combined a lot of grain with that unit. It looked like this-
  9. Well, finally! I've been looking for big Mack trucks but hadn't seen any for weeks until I spotted this one Friday. I saw this Friday too. First time i've even seen a pull type combine in years, and never saw one of these before- that I remember anyway. And of course here's a girl in a car who might be sleeping... and here's a girl in a car who appears to be wide awake. Both from the interweb.
  10. Maybe in his sand box.
  11. and this is a girl on a mower-
  12. Maybe there should be a girl on a bike in the mix somewhere.
  13. Yeah Bob, I guess I have to face reality at some point. I turned 65 this spring, and the Hooter's fish sammich is more exciting than the Hooter's girls🤣. That's not to say that I don't like looking at Hooter's, or Twin Peaks either, when we go there. I always have a great time when I'm out with Zina and Vicki in sunny Florida.
  14. That's fine, I kind of like the melon girl best.
  15. Cantaloupes are ripe now too.
  16. I'm still looking for big trucks, but I haven't seen any anywhere. But here's something completely different, all from the interweb. A girl in a plane! A girl in a train- A girl in a boat- And the usual "girl in a car".
  17. Yep, you can see how much bigger it was than the bun. It was a lot like the big fish sammiches I used to get at the Fairgrounds Market on 422 in Butler, Pa.
  18. They looked very young and very tiny. And I didn't even want to go there, but Zina and Vicki insisted. But I'm glad we did, the big fish sammich was excellent!
  19. I don't have much this week, because I'm in sunny Florida. I have some pictures on my camera, but I haven't seen any big trucks. I did see this on the window of a car in a parking lot at an undisclosed location. Probably been pulled over a time or two I'd guess. here is a girl in a car, from the interweb. Here's a girl out of a car, from the interweb. Here's a girl on a car, from the interweb. I did go to Hooter's in Florida. The big fish sammich was delicious!
  20. Yeah, me too, I might go with you.
  21. Yep, I come to this thread and I'm out of "like"s right away🤣
