Horse drawn vehicles

Oh, thank so much for posting these photos. I remember some of the farm implements. I also remember riding on the horse drawn hay and harvest "bogeys" as a child in the forties, plus people who owned them, using ponies and traps for short journeys, to save their petrol ration for longer journeys in WW II.
 
Horse drawn water wagon (Calais, Maine). It may have been used to sprinkle down city streets. Not sure. :confused:

Pappy, you have set the record on horse drawn stuff. I guess those are pulleys? Two horse power. Great picture!
 
I was told by an elderly neighbor that our house in Michigan had been moved to its present location from somewhere down the street. He said it was set on large rollers and pulled by a team of horses. As the house moved, the rollers were taken from the back and put in the front.

I had always wondered why it sat every so slightly crooked on the foundation. That explained it. There were two beams holding up the house, across the basement, one massive wood one and one iron one. The house was originally built in 1924 and moved somewhere around 1935.
