Thanks, Gazzer. I had a friend (when I was younger) that raised all kinds of birds. He had some silkies and I was wondering how difficult they were to keep. I know they can't fly but that is about all I know about them except that they are actually beautifully fluffy instead of feathery.
Hope your "brood" dies well this year.

Out hear your John Deere H would bring between $1600 & 2300 in the condition I picture it may be in at this time. The more stuff it has the better usealy 
Water table is improved some but still low after the exteeme drouth of last year.
for right now were doing ok but bring on the heat & wind & shut off the rain and we will be back in trouble quick

I'll be raking hay for my dad soon. He still uses a '52 model 8N. He has newer John Deeres but that little tractor works great pulling a rake.
I miss my granddads old truck. He had a '48 Chevy farm truck. 3 on the tree and a little fan was the AC. Was fun to drive except when it was raining. It had vacuum powered windshield wipers. They worked as fast as u drove and that little truck didn't go very fast. Lol!

Weather is starting to cool and I am starting to get more shop time
Brought home a 1938 farmall F20 last week it is special to nebraska as a hi-crop for drilling rye in standing corn on sandy ground. Motor is stuck but I have it soaking with hopes  Picturs of it are on my profile.

I have a 1949 Chevy 5 window shortbed pickup spoted that I would kind of like to have for my self, It is all original except for the motor and it is a 1967 235 with a head on it from an old stock car I was told. Truck seems very solid yet. I'm not shure that I know just what something like it is worth today? Was told it runs but not well

The fire truck title was lost or missing on the 1944 chevy 4x4 I have but my friend that had it just found it a few days ago  This is a big reasion I have not realy ever started to work on it as it is going to be expencive right off just buying new tires all around on it and I had decided it would be foolish to stick big money in it with out the title. I had a plan for geting a copy made if the original never showed up but I am sooooo glad it did I plan to put it back as it was in 1944 hopefuly.

 Gazzer ~~ I was looking through some old family photographs lately and came across one of my late brother.
I immediately thought of you when I saw the pic. My brother was sitting on his old tractor that he completely refurbished.
I thought you might be able to tell me what kind of tractor it is.
As soon as I can upload the pic I will post it here.

Old tractors are still usable-but we can see how an invention gets improved over time-the starting out with a good Idea-using the thinking-that improves into a better one for same usefulness.

Nothing better than bringing back to life Grandpas Truck & tractor.
I've never been too sentimental about equipment untill now. My very good friend traded his 861 ford to me about 10 years ago and I liked it a lot, very dependable. During my divorce I needed money for an attorney and had to sale it. Last week my good friend gave me 15 acres and my first thought was, I must get the tractor back and bring it home to the place it was bought for. Hope I can do it.

I welded a tractor rim that had the hole where the valve stem was that was rotted out about twice as big as it was supposed to be. Haven't had any problems but it is a tube type tire.

I plan to start painting my F20 Farmall today,the back axel is seting on blocks and it is prety well striped down and rear wheels are off so hope to paint the tractor and wheels today then put on the wheels in a cupple of days and then get new tires on it.
A picture of it before I started it is in my profile page after it is done I will try to get the finish picture up also. I'm puting it back on rubber tires, this tractor has overdrive and I also have fenders for it.
