That’s me on my 1928 ‘D’ John Deere tractor.
Comparing the two tractors doing field work, my 1928 John Deere has
15 HP in the drawbar, compared to 150 HP in the drawbar of the 1974
International Turbo charged diesel.
This picture was taken shortly after I restored the tractor
which was setting outside for twenty years.
I am sending two pictures of a replica of an oil pull tractor
which I put together with a back end drive from a F12 Farmall and
front axle from a McCormick Deering 10-20. The engine is a
Fairbanks Morse 6 H.P. with John Deere Model B clutch and pulley,
Opel angle drive and Pontiac steering.
Note to Milo Blauvelt: This is what happened to that 6 H.P.
engine.
Pictured is a Danish Mill which is being restored and in which I
have been very much involved. At the present time, we are in the
process of installing the mill stones. When completed, it should be
an operating mill, probably the only one in the U.S. in operating
condition. The wings are 67 foot long and the mill stands 50 feet
high to the top of the cap.
A combination seldom seen, 1923 Fordson, and a 1921 Curtis Air
Compressor. This type compressor was made only for the Fordson.
Robert (Bob) Early, Pleasant Valley, Virginia is the proud owner.

Three sets of pole pieces and two plates on which to mount Them
should be made to the dimensions shown in Ill- 1, Fig. 41. The
steel used for the pole pieces should be made of a soft steel such
is AISIC 1019. Dowels or screws can be used to hold pole pieces in
place. A compass should be used to locate the poles onthe
charger.
To Magnetize flywheels Models B and All 2′ Bore
Use pole pieces ‘A.’ Hold flywheel with pole pieces
toward you and fins downward (Ill. 2, Fig. 41). The pole piece to
the right should go on the pole of the chargerthat attracts the
NORTH seeking end of the compass needle (Ill. 5. Fig. 41). Apply
current twice for 3 seconds each with I second intervals.

Use pole pieces ‘B.’ The polt of flywhell marked
‘N’ should be placed on the pole of the charger which
attractsthe NORTH seeking end of the compass needle (Ill. 4, Fig.
