My brother snapped a picture of his 1949 Farmall Cub in front of his Redwood Barn circa 1860... some boards are 20" wide on the barn...

The little Farmall is always a conversation starter when out.

He's thinking of using it around the Christmas Tree farm to pull an old wood hay wagon... all deal level with no hills or slopes...

In the 1700's, very wide boards like that, were called "King Boards", as they were supposed to be sent to mother England, rather than being used in the "colonies".
I have a 277 year old home on Cape Cod, and it has many 24"... "King Boards".
I guess they did not all actually get sent back to the King.

Interesting... always something to learn at TBN...

The barn was originally about a 100yds away and moved over a 120 years ago when the farm road became a county road...

I guess heart Redwood really does last at leash this one has.

We have talked about conservation adding a perimeter foundation... until then it has a couple of stalls for 4H projects and is home to the JD350 Dozer and the Farmall...

The newer stuff is in a equipment shed with one side open...

At the time my brother bought the place it was being advertised for land value and the barn and home and other out buildings were considered to have no value... he like the place and decided to work with what was there.

Something about old tractors that brings a smile to my face...

It starts easy with the crank and no smoke... about 400 hours ago it had a new old stock engine...

Hoping to have it around for many years...
