The Hay Press

In this photo, my daughter Jennifer and I (and my wife Rolly shooting the photo) are operating a 1/3rd scale hay press scaled from the full size Case hay press from the early 1900's that I built in my workshop.

Not seen in the photo is a full scale antique Stover hit and miss engine that I restored and is belted to the hay press supplying the power. The full scale hay press would have been driven by a Case steam tractor.
