Identification
Item: Winter threshing at an unknown location in the 1940's.
Description: Winter threshing with a steam engine. Note that the men are working in overcoats, and the old binder canvas is hanging at the rear to protect the engine driver from the wind. Note also the iron brackets hanging in front of the rear wheel which were known as 'spuds'. These would be bolted on to the rear wheels to give the engine more traction on wet ground. Note the wooden jack against the rear wheel which kept the engine from rocking to and fro when working.
