Some jerk stole it 2 decades ago.
I also had a 1910-20-era Samson Tractor which I now regret that I sold back in the early 1980s.
Also had twin 1947 John Deere Model Bs:
McCormick-Deering Combine Harvester Thrasher.
International Harvester Square Hay Baler.
Various other implements including planter, Gandy Fertilizer Spreader, cultivator, disc plow, bush hog, side-delivery rake, corn picker, etc.
As a kid, I spent every Summer as an "indentured farm hand' to my grandparents, loving every minute of it. We raised white-face Hereford and Aberdeen Angus cattle, Duroc and Poland-China hogs, corn, wheat, oats, etc.
White-Face Hereford:
Aberdeen Augus:
Duroc:
Poland-China:
In the late 1970s, I got rid of most of the old equipment and stuck with livestock, but as time passed and Nashville grew, I got out of the livestock business due to liability concerns and insurance costs. Now, part of the property is leased out to a professional farmer who raises corn, soybeans and wheat.
I would like to be back in the cattle business, but I think it's just a pipe dream at the moment.
