The Model T farm horse contraption is a unique and inventive adaptation of the iconic Ford Model T, designed to assist with agricultural tasks. Developed in the early 20th century, this contraption used a converted Model T car chassis to function as a motorized replacement for traditional horse-drawn farm equipment. By utilizing the reliable Model T engine, farmers were able to save time and labor, increasing productivity on the farm.
The contraption typically involved attaching a horse-drawn plow or other farm implements to the Model T’s rear axle or a custom-built hitch. The vehicle’s engine provided the necessary power to drive the plow or other tools, eliminating the need for multiple horses to pull heavy loads. The Model T, with its simple mechanics and widespread availability, was an ideal platform for this innovation.
This adaptation was part of a broader movement during the early 1900s, where farmers sought to modernize and streamline operations with the introduction of motorized vehicles. It helped bridge the gap between animal-driven power and the advent of more advanced tractors, making farming more efficient and less dependent on horses. The Model T farm horse contraption remains a fascinating example of early farm machinery ingenuity, symbolizing a pivotal point in agricultural history.

Super interesting. I'm watching this Desert Drifter video about his trip to Cooke's Canyon. He's discussing how the Freeman-Thomas group of 7 men tried to go through the canyon and were attacked by 300 Apache.

This is supposed to be a photo of the 7 men.
Fella number 3 in the front row has an interesting spoon. Doesn't seem like the best way to go in the west.

In 1938, the cost of a car in Ohio could be as low as $29, which seems almost unbelievable by today’s standards. This was during the Great Depression, a time when the economy was still struggling to recover from the stock market crash of 1929. Automakers, eager to boost sales and stimulate the economy, offered rock-bottom prices for vehicles to make them more accessible to the average consumer. Cars, which were typically a significant investment, became more affordable to many Americans, though the vehicles themselves were often basic models with fewer features than those available today.The $29 price tag was often associated with used cars, many of which had been traded in by their original owners who could no longer afford to keep them. In an era when new cars were still relatively expensive, these affordable second-hand vehicles provided transportation for families and workers who had limited financial resources. While $29 may sound incredibly low, it’s important to remember that the average yearly wage during the 1930s was around $1,700, so the affordability of a car was relative to what people were earning at the time.Despite the low price, cars in 1938 were still seen as a significant symbol of independence and mobility. For many people in Ohio and across the United States, the ability to own a car marked a new level of freedom, enabling them to travel further for work, leisure, or social engagements. This period of affordability helped set the stage for the post-World War II boom in car ownership, when automobiles became an integral part of American life and culture.

Those wheels would be a nightmare to clean.

This Iso Isetta raced in the 1954 Mille Miglia
It was the first car to leave the starting line at 9:01pm (thus the "2100" number) on May 1st and the last car to cross the finish line 22 hours, 10 minutes and 2 seconds later the next day.
For those wondering, drivers Domenico Stragliotto and Adolfo Montroio came in 177th place.

At the aerial photo business where I worked we had a couple getting married at Grandma and Grandpa's farm. The reception was in the barn, and they actually paid us to fly over at a specific time as a large group of the wedding party stood outside and and waved to the the airplane.




Funny AI photo of a wagon train, with no horses, or oxen, or any people. I guess they were early autonomous wagon trains. I wonder where the got gas or electricity.
