Very cool pics everyone!
For sure.Very cool pics everyone!
Not really. Whatever it took to get the job done...and that he could afford at the time. Only one Ford - an 861 model that was just super handy around the place - like a more powerful, updated (power steering!) 8N. But in addition to the old Oliver, he drove a Farmall H, David Brown 1200, and a Massey Ferguson 285 (I think).Looks like your dad was a Ford man.
My Dad LOVED his Ford pickups - but he owned only 3 in his whole life. Kept each one for years.I saw the Ford pickup in the one picture with the Ford tractor….
Terrific pictures, btw

Mind me asking where in PA your farm was?My Dad LOVED his Ford pickups - but he owned only 3 in his whole life. Kept each one for years.
This is his first. I believe the photo had to be taken about 1951; I'm the little guy in the back shading his eyes. Wish I had that truck today!

This is the "High-boy" you mentioned in your post. Photo taken in 1972; my Mom is up on a platform on the back of the truck picking apples. The tree was so overloaded with apples one of the branches was splitting off the tree - the David Brown is holding up the branch on its bucket.
