I love old farm equip, but the one looks like it has a flat tire. cool stuff.

Ken, this is a nice find. There isn't much of those old farm implements around anymore. A lot of it has been taken to the metal recyclers.

Thanks but didn't need that memory. My butt is still sore from riding one of those plus the cultivator.

While hunting about 15yr's ago, I found an old shit spreader, it was really sunk into the ground, the only thing any good was that iron seat. I asked the old farmer about the seat, he said if you can get it off you can have it. I went back with a few tool, the only thing holding it was a big bolt about 5/8, I finly broke that bolt, I brought it home and sandblasted it and painted it, I mounted it on my back deck so I could set on it and lean against the house and pick my D-35 Martin. Reminds me when I was a kid on the farm. Walt

Walt I had to google "D - 35 Martin" to find out what one is.... I first thought it was some sort of vernacular for your nose. Guess you learn something everyday .
