Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Mike I wish you had been around to vouch fo me when my X wife was telling me I was full of crap.

These pictures of strap hinges and the barn they were put on some 100 plus years ago are for Mike. This is on the Johnson farm in Johnson City.

Serious iron !

Went to an auction and picked up this JD plow and the buzz saw for 50 dollars for both. ill put the plow next to other old implements and the saw with a hit and miss in the barn. Things went really cheap. They had two model L John Deere tractors one with a sickel mower 1200.00 for both!!!

Dan , when you come down to Texas for the windmill trade fair I will trade you a John Deere 1 1/2 HP motor for one of those JD L model if you transport it to my house , which is on the way to Poteet

Mike I didn't get them when I went to the viewing Friday they weren't there so I didn't bring enough money i can't believe they went that cheap. I'm still talking to myself!!!

I'm amazed that anything John Deere went that cheap. Must not have been many John Deere collectors at the auction, or they had a all the Model L's they wanted. My Dad's first tractor was a Model L. so my sisters tell me. Must not have pleased him because from then on he bought IHC.

I just finished restoring this old corn grinder to display in my barn and also run off a hit and miss. I couldn't find no name on it does anyone know who made it ??

Good Grief, last L JD L saw sell was 3k and they sold a G Allis for $5200 at the same sale! Of course they never sold any in my area originally and Ds and Rs are like belly buttons,

Dan you could post it on Smokstak under agriculture equipment. They talk about feed grinders a lot.
