Sparky 2010 loaned me a cool book about the history of TENCO Tractor Co. Neat photos of things they developed. Apparently, some dealers invented things to suit the needs of the local clientele. JM

It would really be neat if this tailseat pictured is the same one I have parked at home!

JM, in '68 one of the rice farmers south of Grand Island had the whole fleet of 105's on full track. His ranch foreman had been with Tenco for many years. One did not see many Green Combines on full track. - cts

Kind of interesting to see how that tail-seat was equipped when it left the dealership and was delivered.

Dealerships here in the valley or over on the coast have had to modify factory equipment to sell in this market back then and still a practice that happens today.

Hi, juiceman.

For us 'pore, iggerant DowNunda residents', what was the purpose of the 'horizontal windmill' hardware on the front of the Diesel Seventy?

This kew-ree-yuss mind would like to know.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

CR: Per the book, it implies that the toolbar idea originated at Tenco? More photos. JM

What is the title of that book?

It’s always interesting to see how people modified new equipment. I can tell you nothing we use in the vineyard is how it came from the factory either, everything gets modified to how we like it.

Hi, juiceman.

Here is a photo of another Holt ditcher from 1910. It is quite probably the ORIGINAL high sprocket drive.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
