[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 212902, member: 367"] I have a co-op E something but can't remember the number. It's about the size of an H or M Farmall has a wide front and runs like a champ, I used it in the garden a few times and then blew my hat off going down the driveway in road gear , Dang that thing goes fast for an old tractor. Someone has added power steering to it. I'll run the serial # and see what it is and snap a picture. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] DB, now that you mention it could have still been in the neighborhood and got shipped out during the ration days. Still have a ration book but I forget what it is for , Maybe tires . Mom and Dad tied 5 old wore out tires to the trunk and roof of the car and drove clean up to Brandon Manitoba for their honeymoon. The fun part for me sometimes is piecing together history , I always like a mystery. My grandpa died in 1930 when my dad was 11 and Dad didn't seem to remember much about tractors of those days other than the gray. When I was a kid I was a rock rock collector and I found what I thought was a meteorite shower area out in the field so I had this big collection of meteorites for years , Then about 10 years ago I showed some to a feller that knew something about rocks and given the characteristics, location and what not he determined they must be meteorites but he had asked are you sure there wasn't any coal burned in that area ? I was sure. way out in the middle of the field who would haul ashes way out there ? And with all the wood in the hills there would be no need for coal. Then one winter day we were looking at old pictures and here was a picture of the two round wood grain bins in the yard had once been out in the field by the spot where I found the meteorite and I realized that grandpa had set up a threshing machine there and must of had a steamer of some sort before the grey tractor because the grey was internal combustion . Another interesting piece of puzzle was My bride grew up 35 miles away out on the prairie and her family found an ad her grandpa had cut out of a paper where my grandpa had firewood and fence posts for sale. my grandpa must have sold wood and hauled coal back home for threshing .
