"Yesterday's Photo's"

Photo by George W. Rankin - 1895, Sacramento Valley Museum Photo - Harvest in Colusa County, Ca

Great bunch of picture CTS. THANK YOU

The offset disc has only in the last 50 years got to where left was the standard way. I have a operators book from JD on the 1200 series offset disc. Maybe JM can come to my rescue with a good picture of 1200 JD disc. You could buy ether right handed or left handed discs. Not sure what time the 1200 series went out of production, but thinking in the 1960's. I know other brands could also be had in right or left turning models.

Lefty righty righty lefty, potato, potahtoe....almond ammon, salmon sammon...

I noticed many right hand turn disks in the southern part of the valley (CA) and in WA. Maybe you start at the top of the ridge and work your way downhill, going right? I will never understand why they made disks to turn either direction...

1200 series? Photos? You are a troublemaker Ray54! I have them from 6' to 21, maybe 24 feet here. Still a popular disk for cheapskates like me; I tell the renters to leave them at the field along with my crawler(s), cheaper and easier than moving so often along the river.

I will try to dig up my photos (iphone again). They are much better than the 1100 series oil bath IMO. I will limit myself to the 2 I own, everything else is a 1200 series as far as JD-Killefer drag disks go.

Working in orange grove - anyone know the model? Holt Midget?

Hi, cts.

Yep, Holt Midget would be my guess - not a lottta tractors with that shape.

Just my 0.02.

Caption states Best 90 tractor -- Should it not read Best 75 Hp?
