Old Farm Equipment

On the drive from my brother, Ron's, in Modesto to Carole's granddaughter, Melissa's, in Orangevale, California, I came across a building in a small "off the beaten track" place along Elk Grove Road South of Sacramento where they had a parking lot display of lots of old farm equipment. I had to stop and take a closer look.

Pictured below is what appears to be an old tractor on the left with a gasoline engine and a steam driven tractor on the right (I think).



















There were a number of plows . . .















A hay rake or two . . .















A manure spreader . . .















A bunch of old wagons or buckboards . . .















And lots of antique equipment which I didn't recognize or didn't know what they were . . .

















There is a lot more on display here than these pictures show . . . just setting in a parking lot along the road. Someone or some group has taken the time and invested some money to save this "Old Farm Equipment" for anyone to see.

What a great thing for someone to do. It sure is a lot of history!
