We have always enjoyed visiting antique machinery shows. They are places of discovery for us. However, they can also be a source of frustration when no information is provided about a machine. Our goal has always been to provide as much information as possible to those who visit our show display. Recently, we learned that a “walk-around” video of the display had been posted on YouTube.
This gave us the idea of posting other media we have found of the Farm Jeep display. We’ve added a new Farm Jeep Show Display page. In addition to the above video, you can see and hear (radio) interviews with Barry. We have posted additional farm show videos where the Farm Jeep makes a brief appearance.
We have updated (and will continue to do so) the Articles and Research page. We will post all of Barry’s past and future articles. We have added additional research resources as well.
Technical Information Updates
Scott Sperling has given us additional information on Jeep-mounted trenchers. Be sure to check out the updated Jeep Trenchers page.
Scott, along with Todd Paisley and Bill Reiss, has helped us update the Propeller Shaft Guards page. If you don’t know why propeller shafts need guarding, read On Guard While Making Hay.
Todd also sent us photos of a NOS governor kit he found. We’ve added those to the Engine Governor page
Making Hay the Jeep Way
We have updated the Haying page with a short video on haying out west in the 1950s, There is a Jeep involved, but the entire concept was new to us. We think you will enjoy it.
