Frick from Waynesboro, Pa

I just happen to have the large case clock that used to be their master time clock - on the wall in my office.

How did you get it? Photos? Other info?

Inherited from my Father; I remember when it was in an auction listing and told him that was one he should just go buy.

Has a nice little plaque / label for Fred Frick Manufacturing, Waynesboro at the base of the door and there are holes patched in the side of the case where it used to link to the rest of the clocks. Little card inside about when Ingraham last serviced it in 1897 and there was a repair in 1911. One the striker spring is broken in it but it keeps good time. Someday I will find a shop I trust to replace the spring.

Great. Thank you.

Great. Thank you.

Father had several clocks in the house; I have at least 5, but they drive my wife crazy with the ticking and chiming; the one calendar clock that I restored stopped running a few years back and I have not been able to resurrect it - the works are a bit beyond my skill set; the case and rose wood veneer work was a total #$#@#%##@%%^&^ @%@#^%^&&&&$E#$!@#$ !@$#$^@#$^^%%$ PITA! But, it was also fun,

I've been thinking about driving up to Michigan this summer...I hear it's nice the further north you go (in summer). Healey

I was up as far as Ypsilanti, and that was definitely my impression. Wish I could have gone further North.

PS: We can only hope that Pete will find his way back here some day.

Lousy pic of my buddy's Ferguson 40:



I was over to weld in a repair on his sickle-bar mower. Bought new in 1956, this baby is almost exactly my age...looks about as beat up.

Caught this at the Jeep meet:





I learn something every day.

A buddy in the UK sent me this pic from a 2015 auction catalog:



Some serious play-value here but I'm having trouble understanding how this Ferguson works.

I would think the turn radius on that thing would make it useless in a vegetable garden.

Brake one side and skid steer.

Skid steer turns tighter than wheel steer. You would not use any tractor in your vegetable garden. For crops, you turn outside the crop.

Same here. I have a mound in the backyard from where I had a large maple tree cut down, need to flatten it out.
