Friend and Auctioneer Dennis Turmon has an upcoming auction featuring a Case Threshing machine, and we couldn’t wait when he invited us to take a look. On a blustery Central Oregon day (sorry about the wind noise), Lynn & Dennis take us on a guided tour of the Case 22×36 Thresher.

The Threshasaurus’s large size and curious nature may appear antagonistic, but they are mostly curious and largely non-threatening. Be careful when approaching, however, as they do have sharp teeth and many fast moving, exposed pulleys.

Mike McIntosh invited us to join them at a threshing reenactment at Smith Rocks Ranch, so Eric and I went to Terrebonne. The result was a lot of perfect pictures so we share a few with you in this issue. The equipment and horses demonstrated all belong to the McIntosh clan. Mike, Joanna, plus Jamsey, Jacob and their wives (and children) were joined by Clay and Brett. Threshing is a regular occurrence for the family so everyone knows their part to perfection. Jamsey was mechanicing and running the JD belt-drive tractor to power the Case thresher. Jacob ran the JD binder and the ladies drove the bundle rack team. Mike, Clay and Brett kept the thresher going smooth and at the right speed.
