Also in the 60's-70's they made a variety of farm equipment. Sprayers, grain drills, harrows, rock pickers, plows, field cultivators, spray coups.

In the 1980’s my Dad bought a 1959 John Deere 435 farm tractor. (I think the first model with power steering?) It came with a 2-53. That’s when I learned about using really good earmuffs.
