Kind of fun to watch vintage look at the town of my youth. (way before my time!) Waverly, Iowa
(You'll find tractors, equipment and military in the vid. stuff we all like)

Side note; My brother-in-law bought an early Fendt German tractor from Wartburg college after they bought and parted out the Shield-Bantam museum. He tried to by it outright, but they sent it to auction.....AFTER they paid HIM to get it running!
It is in the showroom at Deike Implement and one of only a few to make it to the States.

Anyway, I love the vintage videos:

I wonder how much practice they had before they actually made this video. And it looks like no one hit each other.

Allen: I saw 2 little bumps. How's about the gal in the beginning?!! Wondering how much time was spent on those 8 narrow fronts steering mechanisms.

Let's see if I can post a pic for Jack Marks:

Well, Jack, it's a little small but I think everyone will get the picture.

Part of the problem may be that they're not coming through as JPEG? (I don't even know what JPEG means!). Anyway . . .

That Helpless feeling.......
Watching a 782D with Cozy Cab go by in traffic. No implement dealer signs to track it down.
Goodbye little tractor......goodbye.

So why didn't ya run his butt down and ask!
BTDT, MANY times, LOL

 

[jbaker]

front hub caps, wheel weights, mowerdeck, and it looks like a snow blade inside

Wrong lane, late fo appoint., wife was along......I have all the excuses!
I was just a little excited until I gave it a parting glance and saw the muffler poking out on the other side!
I did not see the "D" until I reviewed the play and determined the play to be FOUL!

Donald, I just love that photograph, especially in the larger format that Kraig posted. It gives me such a sense of peace, just looking at it. Thanks for posting.

That location is just few miles away. Mahone Bay Nova Scotia has had pictures taken very often .

Don, what a lovely photo. It just has so much to it and really speaks to me. Please also understand that I am from another world (in South Africa) across the ocean but have been fortunate to have visited your wonderful country. Our buildings look different. Different architecture and settings.

Pardom my ignorance and for asking: are those all churches with the towers and if so, is it usual to see three different denominations so closely together? Kind of High street of churhes. Over here it is common to have a church as centre piece of a small town and the main street normally called Church street. Only in bigger towns, normally regional capitals and cities may you see two churches close to each other but I cannot recall ever seeing three together.
Thanks for sharing this photo.

Those three churches are kind of special because they were build overlooking Mahone Bay harbour .Not far from there up the coast is Peggys cove another place many pictures we taken of . We are lucky living on Nova Scotia with so many great sites .
Have a look here for more pictures and info on this small town .
