The rest of the story is: To our knowledge, the Hackney Auto Plow located at the Dale and Martha Hawk Museum is the only one running. This museum has antique farm machinery, as well as a variety of other antiques. Dale Hawk was a lifetime collector. The Hackney family held a reunion in 1998 and drove the plow.

GRAND DETOUR PLOW A HIT WITH THE NEIGHBORS

Thanks to the letter in the February 2000 issue of Farm Collector asking for information on the Grand Detour cast steel seat, I got lots of calls and letters. Among others, Lowry Anderson (at 94 years old) of Westbrook, Minn., remembers a neighbor having a Grand Detour plow that was painted green. He wrote "My dad had the first Farmall tractor in the county, so they gave him a tandem disk as a premium ... We used up two tractors, one Regular and one 12-20. People came from miles around to watch me cultivate corn in 1925." Thanks for the help!
