Just thought I would put in my part on the cover photo of the
January 2007 Farm Collector. I grew up farming in
Pendleton, Ore. I started working around the old IH Model 51 in
1941. I drove various Caterpillars pulling a Model 51 until
1957.
I built the scale Model 51 shown here from memory. The Harvester
oak.
