Farm Industrial.
This is some of the mechanism that ran my Grandfather's threshing machine. It was probably bought new almost one hundred years ago, and was last used by my Father at least sixty years ago. Large crews of workers hauled the grain bundles from the field to our yard with teams of horses. When Grandfather used it a large steam tractor made it all run and Dad used a 1947 Oliver80 gas tractor. It was noisy, dusty and thrilling to watch when I was a small child.
