OUTTAKES LQ #59
I’m sorry this is so late coming out. We had a major wind storm, which caused a lot of damage to our trees and fences. We will be a long time getting it cleaned up.
As I write this on July 19th, the July issue has mostly been delivered here in the states. The mail was slower than usual due to the July 4th holiday. I haven’t been notified of any deliveries in Canada as of yet.
I have gotten a lot of good response to the feature article on the Massey-Harris Model 55. There was a lot of information packed into that article. Much of that information was from primary sources that were supplied by Daren Meyers that originated from his family’s Massey-Harris dealership.
There were also articles on: Drive Your Tractor to School Day, the story of Dakota Implement in Devils Lake, North Dakota, Tales from Massey Engineering, an Extended Letters from Richard Rains and Glen Haskell. And of course, eight pages of letters and photos sent in by Legacy readers.
Please take note that the October issue will feature Working Tractors. When we ran that feature last fall, the response was so great that it took us two issues to get all of the submissions published. We include them in the order in which we receive them. So, if you want to be in the October issue, get your submissions in right away. Anything that shows your tractor at work: pulling wagons, mowing, raking, plowing, discing, baling hay, or just entertaining the grandkids. As usual, we will include all submissions, even if we can’t get them all into the fall issue. Digital images are preferred but you can still send me prints if you wish. Be sure to take your photos in the horizontal position–not vertical–and send them full/actual size. If you have any questions, give us a call!
Also, if you still have–or have access to–the original tractors that you grew up with, let me know. I am working on a special project which I hope to put together if I have enough response. If you have an old photo of you as a child with this tractor, that would be even better.
Don’t forget that you can preorder your Legacy Quarterly calendars anytime. We will try to hold the price to what it was last year. With two postage increases, we’ll have to crunch some numbers.
Don’t forget that you can still order many of the back issues. We are out of several but many are still available. See the ad listed here: (7.)
Also, we have a nice selection of posters that are available. Click here to see a selection of the posters that are available.. Postal rates are changing so you will have to call for an exact price. The poster measure 12” high by 18” wide.
