There are still rivets and a few sections from the old McCormick-Deering

Used both of them (well, the massey 60 pull-behind combine anyway),
back in the day (60's/70's).

Our last pull-type was old Gleaner---we kids played on it as all kinds
of things it could become with the big spoked wheel on the operator
platform could be ship's wheel or...

That's stationary thresher--not sure exactly which...

Not sure. It was painted red. I don't have any pictures
of the binder, unfortunately, and it was auctioned off when
my Grandparents passed.

All circa 1972 or thereabouts.

Here's video of a twine binder -- been converted to PTO or perhaps by
'30s maybe Deering had shifted over. Ours had been converted to pull by
tractor but was still ground drive...

Yeah, our (well Grandfathers) binder was also ground drive. Spent several
summers following it around shocking oats.
