I used to help my father in law hay in the summer and put many miles on this old contraption. Some kind of an old truck converted into a hay sweep. It used to catch on fire occationally and you'd have to stop and throw a blanket over it to douse the flames. O.S.H.A. would have a hemmorage if they saw something like this in action. Hey, I still have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Life is good!!
We had one up at Willow Creek too. It only turned one direction. Was tricky to get a load in. I was never able to run it as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the contraption, Hank. Do you have anymore old ranch photos to post?
