Someone had managed to gather together about 60 farm implements and wagons and has decided to put them on display. The vast majority of the farm implements are very old horse drawn machines. The collection includes plows, cultivators, harrows, discs, mowers, corn planters, farm wagons, potato diggers and planters, a hay loader, a manure spreader and two road graders. The display is immediately north of Highway 37 and 1.2 miles west of Highway 93 which runs through Eureka and north to the Canadian border. The site appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
A very strange contrivance, I never did figure out exactly what I was looking at. It has five removable cultivator shovels (or rather HAD - one is missing), some of which seem to be operated independently. There are handles in weird places, the operator's seat is angled and offset to one side, there are springs and hinges here and there. I guess I would have to see this one again in person to figure it out. What I DO KNOW is that it was made by International Harvester, probably under the Deering name, as I spotted an IHC logo on a casting.
