      I grew up attending then working. My local steam engine and threshing show. I remember having to check the input shaft speed on the thresher. What I remember it was 250 RPM. At that speed, the shaker screens would do the best job cleaning grain.

      Thanks for all of your excellent and captivating videos that you send to us UTuber addicts.
      As we all know, Big Bud is going to have competition with the new BB from JD; CIH; NH; etc with similar hp even though it will be more farmer friendly to work on instead of that unnecessary computerized clutter in the competition.
      I'd like to see BB coming out with a 1000 hp powered Bud and also making wider span machinery to match its hp for less passes across big fields.

      So thrilled to learn that Karen is from Big Timber. Looks like my mom would have been her father's classmate, but she would have been one year ahead. We just lost her at 99 1/2 9 months ago. She was a Ward and her mom was a Brannin, from up the Sweet Grass.

    My grandpa used a threshing machine until I was 10. Never would let me near the business end. Next year they had a custom guy come in with a gleaner combine. I rode around with him and he showed me how it worked. He jumped off to get his dinner from the truck and my uncle came up with the gravity wagon, he darned near died when he saw an 11 year old boy running that thing. Four rows, ( we were doing grain ) 130 inches, lot of levers, got her done. I remember Bob! Take care!

    Bob, in the early 30's my dad was the water boy for the threshing crew and he tells the story of being at one growers farm that was good at home brew wine. After lunch all the crew went down to his basement and sampled his fine wine. Well guess what, no wheat was threshed that afternoon because they were too drunk. LOL! Love hearing you talk about the old days. God Bless!

    Thanks for the last segment. It brought back memories of combining downed grain (milo maize) with the wind in the dust cloud, then running back up the field as fast as we could because you could only cut one way. I also remember using that cream separator to make butter. There are more than one of those old homes sitting, abandoned in the rural south Texas where I grew up. Thanks for the memories..

    Oh the memories. Dad raised corn on the cob & each spring we had it threshed by a traveling threshing machine. First combine I ever sat in was a Gleaner Model A, with an aftermarket cab on it. Dad bought it used from a guy that used it on a harvest crew a couple years. Had a 13' head on it, no corn head, as we had a corn picker on an Oliver 77.
    Memories. The true education was on the farm, not college. We did it all.

    Our neighbor got hurt going between the combine and wagon. Just like in the old threshing days, all the neighbors got together one Saturday, baled the hay, combined the oats, and baled up the straw. The ladies put on a spread for lunch. My dad and I were baling hay, manually loading the wagons. At any given time, there were three empty wagons following us to swap out a full wagon for an empty. We had a ball, and I would have loved to be part of a threshing crew in the good old days.

    My grandfather farmed near Ponca Nebraska. I remember them stacking the hay into big piles, but couldn’t for the life of me remember how it was done. Seeing the hay rake was cool. They raised everything on the farm. Corn, hay, cattle, hogs, turkeys, chickens, grandma’s garden. They didn’t have indoor plumbing until 79’. Grandma cooked on a wood stove. So self reliant. Such a hard life, but what I would give to go back for a visit.

He said the best thing that ever happened to a farmer was rubber tires to replace the old steel rims with spikes. Not to mention tractors for horses.

    Glad you found a home for some of your huge tractor tires. Sketcher is helping to have them for his project. ((Hope I spelled the name right))
    Sounds like he will use them on a big truck project of his. Glad he can use your old tires.
    Bob and wife, thanks for showing us around that old steam engine show. Lots of old equipment at this show. Appreciate you telling us about that old open cab combine and what it took to run it. Far cry from today’s combines for sure. Wow.
    Thanks Bob for showing us around the show. Was most interesting.
    You have seen huge changes in farming over the years. Most interesting.
    Thanks for everything Welkers. Take care and be safe.
    Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

    When I was a kid and old harvester with those long belts running off a Fiat would just sit there and run all day long for weeks 😃 good times with grandparents and dad.

    Hey Bob, my Dad's first self propelled was a Massey 92 and it took all day to switch heads. His first tractor was a MM UB that has been restored and he still has. He's 91 and still lives on the farm in central IL, not that far from Decatur.

    I really like the tour of the old equipment with Bob. My grandad used a Super 27 and Super 92 to cut wheat in Kansas when I was very little. I have been to Rolag, MN to the Steam Threshers Reunion as well. I just really like to watch how they thrashed wheat back in the day. Thank you so much for showing this part. It brings so many happy memories!! I also know what you mean about the itch from barley. We never raised that, but did raise milo, and I do believe it had more itch per bushel than any other crop Grandad or Dad raised!!!!

    Speaking of Dodge trucks and Massey Harris combines, Grand dad had a Massey Harris clipper combine with 7 foot head and a canvas belt to feed it. A friend had a D 800 tandem truck to haul our wheat to market. Well guess what, the combine bin spout wouldn't reach over the side of the truck. So me, a 14 year old and the truck owner used # 10 scoop shovels to load the truck from a wagon as Dad unloaded the combine. I think is was like 400 bushels. Oh what fun, Not, but that's what you did on a small family farm in 1960 and before.

    Bob back in your day running those open cab combines how many acres or section were your family doing?
    There's a town called Molson in Washington state south of border where im from that has a bunch of old hay farming equipment logging and mining equipment from start of 20th century. Was there when I was young guy in elementary school in late 70. Had a chance to vist this old community this summer with my girlfriend explaining how this equipment was used and how much manual labour was involved. My grandfather and great grandparents where potato farmers along as sheep and cattle in BC the other side of family are still big field farmers in Alberta. Im amazed how farming has progressed from almost same equipment back in day to today's technology. You and your boys have some best jobs ever ..
