These are from my parents farm where I grew up. Wouldn't mind a little objective C&C either.

#1 - This is actually a wagon that has been sitting so long that the bottom has rotted out and the sides have fallen down around the old frame, axles, and wheels.

#2 - an old water wagon

#3 - Some kind of old rake from before today's more sophisticated discs, etc. I'm guessing you'd have to use this after you had already plowed. Most farmers don't plow any more because it exposes your top soil to more erosion and dries out the soil more.

#4 - International model 806

#5 - Same

#6 - Same

#7 - An old and fairly small Caterpillar bulldozer.

#8 - On a farm, this is what we call a hydrant... no fire hydrants so no confusion with the fire plugs you see in the city.

And a few more...

#9 - An old sledge hammer.

#10 - A wheel from some old turn of the century implement. Only the wheel is left and what it went to probably was never owned by my family. My grandfather probably bought it as a landscaping piece and its never been used.

#11 - An old tree in the local cemetery. A scythe was hung in the tree and left and the blade is still visible. The tree died. The branches were all removed to reduce the risk of the tree falling but it was left as it is part of local legend. I believe the story is that the grounds keeper hung it there and then never went back to work the next day due to being called up in WWII.

#12 - Same

#13 - Before being completely overgrown, this was my childhood playhouse. Decades before that it was a chicken coop.
