Gandy Seeder 2

Shot on my parents' farm in Minnesota, the model/serial number plate from a model 901 "Gandy" seeder (your guess is as good as mine on what decade, I'm wagering the 1950s). What intrigued me most about this particular derelict is that you can see how the green paint is peeling back to reveal the red base. Somebody was probably embarrassed that this wasn't a John Deere and sought to hide their shame by covering everything over.

This seeder hasn't moved since my father bought it ... 20 years ago. Trees of a significant diameter are growing up through it.
