We seem to be loosing a few reply buttons again Joe and Brendon??

Whilst we are discussing whippletree's and horse related M-H items here are a pair of curved wooden handles I picked up this year in Ontario, they are in very good original condition with great lettering on both, does anyone know what implement these were fitted to??

Here's an item that I haven't a clue what it is - suggestions please.

John,

The Mystery piece you are wondering about is the bracket that goes on the end of a sickle bar mower and holds the swath board or stick on. Here is a picture of one I found but it is a bit small and blurry but at least you can see what I am talking about.

Joe

Joe,

Thanks for that info - now I recognise its origins.  Today another piece of a hitch from a horse drawn implement.

Whilst we are talking M-H "hitches"

Here is a very small clevis htich I picked up this summer with <M-H> nicely cast into it, I have no idea what implement this came from.

This is an old front wheel from one of MH's early four wheel horSe drawn muck spreaders.  I have no idea from which model it is.  I have a larger, rear drive wheel from a similar spreader but whether they are from the same model is anyone's guess.  It is still solid but a bit of rot and woddworm in it so it has had a good soak of creosote.

Here is the quadrant from a set of M-H spring tine harrows.

Here's a choice and bold piece that I found up in Canada this summer - a header tank from a styled Pacemaker tractor.  Although I have two of these "in situ" so to speak on tractors it is nice to have one in the cast iron memorbilia collection along with my Wallis header tank

More pieces of cast iron picked up in Canada this summer, both pices the same one painted red and the other green, expect thes are off a binder knotter??

Here's another piece that I haven't a clue as to what MH machine it is from
