The vanishingly small town of Rowley, Alberta has restored several buildings, including the train station and three elevators. The town now is partly a ghost town and partly a heritage town.

Near the elevators they have collected several pieces of farm equipment, including this manure spreader. It has on its side the large "MM", emblematic of Minneapolis Moline. This is probably the oldest piece of machinery on which I've seen the MM symbol. With wood sides and bottom (now partly rotted away), this is definitely an oldie.
The manure spreader is out in an open area across the tracks from the elevators, hitched to an equally old McCormick Deering tractor.
