Barn Charm #41

Howell, New Jersey

A "ramshackle" barn...

with very cool "thingy's" parked in front!!
Check out the head light on this baby!!

This old, rusty tractor sits out by the road as well.
Now here's a question for all you farm girls, what's this tractor towin'??

Sharing today with Tricia's Barn Charm

looks like a scythe or mower. one side slides back and forth so the teeth/edge then cut grass/hay.

and i like that headlight. :)

Bev said...

Lovely old pictures...yep TexWisgirl know... hubby used one as a young person... (also I am trying something to see if you can email me now?)

Ok, the barn is cool, but I LOVE the tractor and whatever that is.

Mari said...

I love the tractor and the implements! And I agree with TexWis girl - I think it's a mower of some sort.

Kathy said...

It may be ramshackle but it's absolutely delightful in my book!

Jill said...

Great shots. Just love the barn and all of that old equipment is such a bonus!

Chatty Crone said...

Great barn today! sandie

Rose said...

Yep, that is a mower...love these photos...

I love the rusty old equipment. Just be thankful, hubby doesn't collect it for YOUR front yard. I want to say its a crimper, but that's just a wild guess.

Lovely pictures. I used to read a book by Ralph Moody called Little Britches. In it there is a chapter called, " I break nine toes." I am pretty sure that is what he was on and it was a mower. It was pulled by a team of horses. I think it might be dangerous being pulled by the Old Ford tractor. It amazed me that it is just sitting there and no one bothers it. You can't do that out here, people are stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

I loved every single pic!
I DID see the head light!

Bonnie K said...

Great photos! Looks like a mower to me.

Susan said...

What cool pictures! I love them all!

Neat old barn!! My husband loves old farm equipment! (Old memories)...I'll call this post to his attention, I'm sure he'll know what that is..

Cheryl @ TFD said...

That's a neat little barn! The old tractor is pulling an old sickle mower. It would have been mostly used for cutting hay. The arm with the cutting part would be lowered by a lever to cut the hay or grass.

Elizabeth Edwards said...

love the old tractor. (:

Adrienne said...

Whatever it is behind that tractor it looks dangerous!! The barn shot makes it look a bit more like it's set in the woods than on a farm...not as open a space as we're used to seeing with barns. You know me - love the red!

Ellie said...

That is a ramshackle barn indeed - but still rather cute.
I love your 'cool thingies' that made me smile.

Christine said...

Oooh, you've got my attention this morning with that wonderful old tractor. I love the old rusty ones; they have such character!

Tanya Breese said...

love all those "thingies" and that headlight!

Sonya @ Under the Desert Sky said...

The old "thingies" sure do add to the charm!

Ramshackle, yes... Beautiful, YES! LoL!

Thank you for joining, Debbie =)

Brian King said...

Very cool! That tractor looks almost dead-on to the old Allis Chalmers my grandfather used on his farm. I love that old equipment!

Faye said...

It looks like the farmer's interest comes and goes here! Glad I read other opinions about the "thingey". Was going to say a seeder of some sort. . .And if you have to plow at night, may as well do it in style!

LeAnn said...

How I love the Barn pictures. I loved the pictures of the barn and equipment. The old tractor reminds me of my Dad's. I remember riding with him as he worked his fields. Thanks for the memory and hugs to you!

Elaine said...

Love the ramshackle barn and all the thingy's!

Lisa Gordon said...

Very nice photos. I love seeing all the old farm equipment. We have a lot around here, too.

Carole said...

Slightly ramshackle, and added on to at least once, but still charming. Nice shot. :-)
