Joe Bueche

​Joe was a very versatile mechanic and developed many labour-saving machines for farm use. Two patents are summarized here.
​Joe died of the Spanish Flu in 1919 at just 35 years.

​In 1916 and 1917 he developed and improved an attachment that converted a car for use as a farm tractor. Patent #185586 was obtained in 1918. This photo shows Joe pulling a binder with a Ford car.

​Joe also devised a mechanism using automobile parts  that allowed operation of the binder from the tractor - Patent #287446 (also in 1918). 

He constructed a tractor by attaching lugged wheels and drive gears to replace the rear wheels of a passenger car. He plowed with a Russell car and cut his crop with a Ford car each using his attachment in 1917.
