Farm Tractors of the past

Another load of kids that I was jealous of.

Why a John Deere Tractor on Coke Bottles? Due to a competitor a 2 cylinder engine would have a short service life caused by vibration, John Deere decided to let the consumer decide how much vibration existed. The John Deere Company ran a John Deere on pop bottles at Dairy Cattle Congress, Waterloo, Iowa, October 3 1929. They also did this at several state and county fairs. To his knowledge the nickels balanced on the head, on the radiator cap are ideas from John Deere enthusiasts wanting to add additional challenges.
His demonstrtion is because of a gentleman doing the pop bottle and nickel balancing at the Portland Indian Show for the past several years. He learned he had to use antique coke bottles because their weight and strength is about double the current bottles. He has several people acuse him of poluting the air more running the tractor on coke. Didn't you think that's what he was doing? Lowell thought that was terrible, please don't tell him that's what I thought.

Did you know this was a corn shredder, I did. This machine started our week off wrong. I told the guy not to park that dirty machine in front of our home. He said you will move before we start shredding on Thursday and I said NO we paid for the whole month. Well the secretary's office forgot to tell us the farm show rented the whole fairground. They squeezed us in a tight place we didn't like but we lived thru the farm show. We have a new spot since Annie Oakley Festival is starting this Friday night. but we won't have to move now.
But the farm show wasn't all bad, Lowell really enjoyed it and I got to eat our favorite Kiwani's sausage sandwiches. I didn't argue because I worked Thursday and Friday. Guess what my sausage sandwiches will be here for the festival too, Yeah!!
