    Good shot Phil. The driver is a nice touch, and the dog. My father had one a bit similar on his property that he worked on weekends and holidays. I remember my brother and I sitting on the harrows, to add weight, behind it. Would have been around 1958 - 1960.

      I can see this image on a calendar. Love the wheels and the power take off.

        Great image Phil. I wasn't around in 1936 (that I can remember) but I would think they were a popular make (McCormick-Deering). I love to delve into the history of these old units and found this:

              Thank you Phil. I do my best, but obviously on some occasions it's just not good enough. My wife is an angel and she always knows where to find me.
