All of my relatives that farmed in these parts ALWAYS shedded everything....including pickups and grain trucks. Amazing to see how much everyting was worth at auction in the mid 90's when all the old guard retired. Tractors bought new 1945 or 6 were still rust free. The wood in all of the truck beds was still good. I can't remember a time when my grandpa left his JD with anything attached out in the field....it always came home at the end of the day, regardless of how far away. My cuz still has his WD Allis that ruled the roost until he bought a JD in 58.
