Happy Days

I enjoyed the article on the LaCrosse tractor (Farm Collector, April 2003), and I'm curious about the final stages of the company. I have a well-used copy of an Oshkosh tractor owner's manual. Evidently, there were Happy Farmer tractors produced under the Oshkosh name. Have any survived?

Twice Happy

The April 2003 Farm Collector article on the Happy Farmer was interesting. About 20 years ago, I had the pleasure of touring Oscar's Dreamland with my now-deceased stepfather. The best part was when he recalled farming in Montana with many of the old tractors, including the Happy Farmer. His closing commentary was, "It made you happy twice: the day you bought it, and the day you sold it."

Putting the pieces together

I recently purchased a beautifully painted wooden, hand-operated grain threshing mill at an auction. It's in many pieces and needs restoration. I sure would love it if anyone could lead me to a photograph or a manual or drawings, which could help me figure out how to get it back in working condition. I have a one-page instruction sheet dated 1904 from the Manson Campbell Co., Ltd., 103 Wesson Ave., Detroit, MI.

Drill color query

I collect old drill box ends, but as you can guess, there is no paint on them after 100 or 200 years in the tree belt. I would like to find a book on drills with the color correctly identified.

Reader in the dark about lantern

I have a Feierhand "Superbaby" 1 75 lantern. It also has a number on it, K1491/1. Can you tell me anything about it? It also says "original nier patent." It was buried in the dirt walls in my uncle's basement.
