I've a healthy
interest in cream separators, and currently have a De Laval No. 10 hand powered
unit (my grandfathers) under restoration. I'll buy one for re-sale when a good
serviceable unit is available (which is pretty frequently). If you need one,
e-mail me.
Click here for a page of cream separators and misc. info on
them.
I picked this up
at a sale for restoration. A lot of this sort of thing is being sold at auction
in my area. If you need antique equipment, let me know and I'll keep an eye
peeled for what you need.
If anyone has a
book on this mower, I'd like to get a copy.
I gave my Pop a
1942 Farmall H for Christmas this year. Here are two
pictures of him and it on Christmas day. On delivery, the tractor was loose but
completely dead. 3 of 4 tires were good. Since then a new front tire has been
installed, the engine's magneto repaired, the carburetor rebuilt, all fluids
changed, the belts changed, generator rebuilt, starter rebuilt, a muffler
installed, and valves adjusted. The tractor runs again, and does not seem to
have any major problems.
I enjoy the
time we spend working on this tractor. My Dad bought an H as a young man soon
after he moved to Missouri (which was just after he married my Mom...). I grew
up on that H running a hay rake and other farm chores. While my first love for
the farm tractors has to be my Grandfathers JD 50, I do have a love-hate
relationship with that old H. It is still in daily use on the farm.
