Sixdogs, I had to laugh, while I have no dogs, I am off to get a haircut too! Except I keep beating up on my barber that if he doesn't keep it from falling out,
he won't have a job anymore. And FarmGirl, is your Avery a combine or a tractor? Under wraps in the barn or on the show circuit?
Pics?

As the Depression waned, the company was restarted in 1936 as the Avery Farm Machinery Co. It manufactured primarily combines, separators and replacement combine cylinder teeth. Two years later, in 1938, it produced the Avery Ro-Trac tractor, which had an unusual front-axle design that could be converted from a narrow- to a wide-front tractor.[8]:31 It was the first Avery tractor in a dozen years, but this was doomed to be its last tractor. World War II interrupted production again, and the company closed its doors for the last time.[4]

Avery tractors are considered very rare and are highly prized among collectors today

Hi daugen! It is a tractor. Mine has the front hand crank, and I can rarely get enough OOMPH behind my shoulder to get it cranked hard enough to start it. It is in the same family it came into new, so I have ridden/driven it my entire life. Used to ride on a fender as a kid, while dad plowed, but fenders are since gone. :(

Thanks for the interesting history! I'll post some pics soon.

My 1936 Avery! One owner family, but not like brand new. If I ever win the lottery, it will be my big project.

Very sweet, especially one-owner sweet.. Can you find a way to store it under cover and out of the elements?
