Found this picture of my grandfathers farm in Ohio. I you look close you can see the Allis Chalmers D15 between the barn and the sheds. I believe the picture is from 1963, i know for sure he purchased the tractor new in 1961.

| Thanks for sharing. I really like to see pictures like that. The good old days. Looks like there may have been two houses there; the car parked on the left side? See the tractor. Those buildings were probably full of farm equipment and livestock at one time but made obsolete now by the large machinery and confined livestock operations. Looks to have been a busy place. |

| Have a lot of great memories from that farm. There were two houses a one time, both unfortunately are gone now. They had pigs, chickens and cows at one time but went strictly agriculture when i came around in the late 60's. My great great uncle lived in the small house and farmed with the little D15. Unfortunately we lost my grandmother this year and the property is going to be sold. Nobody in the family farms anymore and I live in Georgia. The barn and all the out buildings we lost in a tornado in 2000 so not much left but a the new house and land. So sad to see those old barns falling apart and being lost to time. |

| I've got a similar picture of my family's farm. Would be about the same era. I'll have to try and find it. |

Search for a web site called Vintage Arial. You can map your location and find photos taken years ago and purchase them framed, not framed or now digital. There were probably 30 photos of my place taken over a span of many years. This one was taken in 1972 and hangs in the kitchen

| There has been an Aerial Photo co. on Facebook, you type the address of what you want and in most cases a picture comes up. Sometimes you have to move a curser around to find what you want. Found the street corner where I was born. Only trees and bushes now. |

I know of Vintage Aerial. They were out of Toledo Ohio originally. I have two photos from them of the farm the one you see but hand painted and framed and another from the 80's that has the new house minus a few of the outbuildings. Was given them when my grandmother passed. |

| DSpears. In your picture there is what I think is a granary building with a projection on the top with windows. What is the function of the top? We have seen similar ones while travelling and always wondered what was inside. Thanks. |

Yes I remember salesman stopping at each farm tryiong to sell pictures of your farm. That was when I was a kid and the whole world had a rosey glow in my young eyes! A little mor harsh and pointed now. Guess thats why they call them the good old days. Each farm I had lived in and even the uncles places are still standing. Good to see that the new folks are keeping them up with roofs on them. Can at least drive by and show the kids and grandkids where I grew up. When the farms are gone its going to be a sad world! It was a great life if you didnt weaken! Thanks for taking the time to post I may have to go look for pictures now too! update: Had to go look, found the picture of the farm I grew up on from 1953 to 1969. Good picture. Not sure I will buy it? $80 for 8 x 12, $180 for larger one.

SugarMaker, The floor plan of that house is the same as many houses through out the country, they vary in size but are the same basic plan. Does anyone know where that floor plan came from? Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Sugarmaker........... think about it for a few days... $180 for a 12 x 18 is not much for a lasting memory of 60 years ago. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I went out to Vintage Aerial and found my house from 1991 - then I checked the pictures that are hanging on the wall same picture. It nice to see what the place use to look like. We have one that's older and one that newer seems like they came by to show us their last picture that they took and we got that one also. ------------- Ken R. |

AC Hunter Thanks for your question! The granery had a vertical bucket lift elevator inside! There was ear corn on both outside areas, 3 solid wood bins in the middle area. We would fill those with oats. The center couple was very large to swing the elevator chute to all side for the ear corn and the middle 3 bins for the oats. Dad would load a wood wheeled 3 box load (2 box of corn and 1 box of oats and have a custom grinder come to the farm ( $10 charge ) every 2 weeks to feed the dairy cows. Dad rented a 160 acre farm and gave the owner 1/2 of the corn and oats for each year. DeWayne |

JohnColo The farm was located in Oak Harbor Ohio. My grandpa Hemminger had two farms the one in the picture was off Duff Washa Rd. across from the Davis Bessie nuclear power plant. The other was off Fick Rd. in Oak Harbor Ohio. Still looking for a picture of the Fick Rd. farm.

| Some gal stopped here several years ago wanting me to buy a picture in a frame. $150.00 for it. I told her I had $65.00 in my wallet, that's what I'd give her. She took it. , shows the D17, 200, and B. |

Chris, thanks for posting that link. They don't have pictures of Colorado farms but I did get to see my Cousin's place near Hinckely, Ohio in 1979, brought back memories as I could see the Freightliner truck I found for him out here that he and his wife drove back to Ohio, along with a bunch of other pictures of farms I remember. |

Thanks for posting. I went on the Vintage Ariel site and found many of the farms my Grandparents lived on as well the farms my dad farmed and early pics of where we started farming. You can save the pics but they have the company logo on them. I saved a few and might buy one or two but my children really have no interest at all in the past. Sure enjoyed seeing the farms as well as the neighbors. Tom |

| Thank you posting the link. I got lost on that site for probably 3 hours lol. I found a picture of our farm and had talked to the neighbors about what it was like before we bought it. It was definitely definitely a junk hole. I didn’t realize how much clean up the previous owner did. The neighbor spent about 3 hours on the site too. It was fun and I am going to have to buy the picture. |

Gentleman, I am glad that my post has brought so much interest in the old farms. I was hopping that many of you would post your farms as well. I did purchase the digital downloads of my grandfathers farm. Well worth the price and i can get them printed myself.
