Just beautiful 

Thanks one of my favorites 

Here’s some of the 1/32 International Harvester Tractors I’ve collected so far. The Red cab 1468 was a Custom I made 

Here’s some pics of it a couple years after I first got it. 

Here’s one I’m thinking about restoring and give it some upgrades

Ok thanks

Here’s a video of my Allis Chamlers WD minutes after I got it running after 7 years of sitting thought I better get a video of it after my second time around the garage. 

Here’s some pics of my Farm Building’s on my 10 Acre Hobby Farm. I have a Garage, Small Barn and a Small Chicken House/pen in the Ozark Foothills of Missouri.

This is actually near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This is the Joseph Poffenberger farm on the Antietam National Battlefield. A bloody battlefield of the American Civil War. I took the photo a few months ago.

 

 

   

Beautiful pic Dan. Reminds me of the Ozark Foothills where I live 

Here’s some pics of my Leveling Blade and Lift Arm I use on the Hobby Farm

This is my old McCormick Hay Rake I’ve had for well over 20 years. When I first got it it had dry rotted tires on the front I took them off and ran it with iron ever since. It cleans the fields nicely and works every time. All I’ve done to it in the time I’ve had it is general maintenance.

Cheers Lee, the baler I was looking for is the one featured in Paul's video,

Joe.

Ok Joe  now I understand those were cool Balers. My wife’s cousin had a Ford Baler with a old Milwaukee Engine on it it was a nightmare 

This mid Spring I dug out my Grandpa’s old log tongs from the early  1960s and skidded some logs I had thrown in my upper woods.

I'm wondering if any of the IH McCormick guy's can help shed light on this,When I was 10 / 11,  1964 or 1965,My late father used to drag a big IH or McCormick baler around useing a B250 or maybe a B275,It was I powered by either a single cylinder or twin air cooled engine,I have Googled this a fair few times and all I can find is a No 50,That might have been the right one but that is fitted with a four cylinder petrol I guess engine,Maybe the air cooled engine was UK spec,That engine had some power as I recall the whole tractor baler combo rocked back and forth as the plunger went back and forth so much so the whole rig started sinking into the soil,??

Regards

Joe,

I don’t quite understand what you’re asking but most of them here in the USA were powered buy Farmall Cub engines 

Here’s one I built several years ago. It’s a old Monogram kit I Custom Printed the decals on my computer.

Very neat work! I like the look of what’s pulling it, is it a 1568?

Thanks John. It’s a 1468 Red cab I’ve been working on a made it a Red cab. I have a build thread here if you want to check it out. 

Here’s the first of some of the Ertl “S Series” international Trucks I’m updating with some decals and wheels and tires and maybe adding some bodies to them. I’m calling this Truck #1. Ertl says this is 1/25 scale but it’s closer to 1/32 I think. 

Here’s one I’ve been working on since last winter and got it done in the Spring. I repainted and added some Custom decals. 

Bought this last winter been chipping at it here and there. I’ll be adding updated Wheels and some decals as well as a Stack and Clam Shell Fenders  

Heated the tires up in the Microwave to put them back on  

Very nice updates. One these days I’m going have to make one
