Dennis-

Check out the Association for Living Historical Farms and Agricultural
Museums homepage at www.alhfam.org - there will be some sites that can help
you.

A great source is/was the Ontario Agricultural Museum, renamed The Farm
Museum this year - but unfortunately as of December 12 all of their staff
will be laid off.  No word yet as to the future of the facility and their
very, very large and significant collection of tractors, stationary
engines, etc.  Afraid you won't get an answer to any research questions
directed their way.

Regards,

Tom
