|  05:53 05/19/15 The Find| I was cruising the local craigslist ads the other weekend and came across a "john deere sorghum harvester" listed in the farm and garden section. I could tell right away it was a corn binder and it piqued my interest for many reasons. I knew it was fairly rare, I had never seen one before, and it was only 15 minutes from home no less. I called on it and the guy told me where it was if I wanted to look at it. I went and found that it was seemingly complete, in good shape, everything was free and seemed to have been well greased. It was originally used in a sorghum molasses operation then it sat in a shed for 40 plus years. I immediately called the guy back and he met me out there and we struck a deal. I'm very nervous about just hooking this thing up to the PTO and letting it rip. My first order of business is oiling chains, installing new grease fittings, lubrication, and seeing if I can get it to turn by hand. My next goal is getting it operational, using it to bundle up some fall decorations, and then contemplate a restoration. Here are some photos. | | |

What are Project Journals?
Project Journals are a place where YT Community members can document their tractor and farm projects. Each journal created, can have many photos and accompanying text entries.

Restoration Story: 1929 McCormick-Deering 10-20 - by Randal Simmon. On July 4th 1998 my dad and I was sitting on the front porch when he said that he was going to sell his two 10-20's to a junk man. He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
