A threshing day at the farm of Fred Freschette of Red Deer,
Alta. This is his own outfit; a 1920 40 H.P. Case, carrying 175
Kenworth truck & trailer which really made a hole in the field;
but was all handled very nicely by the steam outfit. But the women
topped everything by coming up with their good meals, as we all
know, behind every man their is a good woman. This picture was
taken in the Fall of 1973.
Sawmill picture in 1936. That is me at the sawyer position. I
stand 5 ft. 9 in.
This picture was taken at the farm of Glen Crandall, Ponoka,
Alberta, on Oct. 28, 1973. Glen [the engineer] owns this nice
outfit – a 1929- 30 x 60 Advance Rumely separator, & a 1916 –
28-80 HP George White steamer. The separator man is Joe Fleck of
Ponoka. Glen also has a 65 Case which was used to pull an 8-bottom
plow.
The top attraction again at the 1973 Steam Power Show at
Pinckneyville, Illinois.
This is our two cylinder stationary steam engine. We have no
idea of the make or what it may have been used for. The person that
we got it from didn’t know that it was a steam engine. It was
in a pile of junk when we got it. It has a reverse on it. If anyone
can tell us the make and what it was used for we would appreciate
it very much. Owned and restored by Russell & Wally Orth.
