The sister sent me this historical tid-bit. I’m thinking this is circa 1972 and made me realize how long I’ve been driving tractors. The farm we grew up on was a sampling of rich low ground along the lake and gravel side hills on the high ground. (Hills mellower than in picture) All of it blessed with rock. That 1650 was a mainstay in my sandbox fleet. Did a lot of light field work and pulled the baler. About 1974 I got a big tractor in the form of a Ford 8000. I loved that tractor and worked it hard. It did all the heavy fieldwork and was the tractor that did the rented land far away. (I wore the front spindles off running through mud puddles). I still have that 1650 and my son farmed with it for a couple years, but wasn’t a BTO like Pa. Ironically there is a “65 1650D in my current collection.
The background shows the milk room/ parlor addition that was under construction. It also shows the drive in ramp and the cedar stave silo.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
