Description
Oldtimer Cayucas California by Floyd Snyder
This old guy is a member of the Early Days Gas Engine & Tractor Ass'sn, Inc. He was showing his early 1900 vintage corn husker and mill that was on display in Cayucas, California over Memorial Day weekend, 2018.
This guy was hard as nails and spry as a kitten and had a handshake like a steel vice. But he would not tell me how old he was. All he would tell me was he was, "I am damn near as old as that stack of iron there".
That stack of iron was the fully running and restored, gasoline-powered corn mill and grinder.
He found the mill and the engine abandoned in an old garage. He took both pieces totally apart and rebuilt it using brand news parts where he could find them and actually tooling the oned he could not find in his only tool and die shop.
They surely do not make them like the used to. And I am not talking about the machinery here.
