Dad had a Stan-Hoist drive-over wagon hoist before he started getting wagon hoists. The Stan-Hoist had a 1 hp electric motor driving a V-belt to a hyd pump, single cylinder on one side and a steel cable hooked to the Cylinder, then down and across under the lift saddle and up one other side and over a pulley to raise other side. Not sure what year Dad got it. It was relatively new, early to mid 50's. The older hoists I've seen were all cable operated. Dad put a Midwest hoist under his Economy brand flare box, lot of work getting it low enough the box sat on the running gear. Dad bought a brand new EWC/Oliver 150 bushel flare box and 8 ton gear about 1966, put 2 feet of side boards on it for picking corn. Had a new Midwest hoist all ready to install and neighbor found a twin cylinder hoist that straddled the reach, Dad put one of those hoists on instead. Fast forward to 2006, the new never used Midwest hoist with Godbersen link that sat in the barn for 40 years, never was raised, sold for $5 (Five Dollars) at Dad's last auction. Dad had a third wagon, home-made flare box and a lighter running gear and it had a Midwest hoist, wagon box sat 6 inches above the bolsters on the running gear. That 6 inches of space between box and gear was just wasted space where corn should have been. Think it only had a 5 ton gear.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
