Stopped and took these shots of this old machine I drive by every day.

Looks more like a German Shepard to me...

I went to an auction preview today and I think that same dog was following me around there while I was looking at the equipment.

I"m trying to make a joke out of the old Sheppard tractor pulling a tumble bug scraper while a German dog is nipping at the outer corner....but it just isn"t working....sorry, pardner!

How much is that dog in the photo?

In the 30s my dad had a team of horses that he pulled a tumble bug building reservoirs for the WPA in eastern Montana.I think he got a dollar a day wages and a dollar a day for the horses.Ron

Got one of those setting back in the woods, I think the tag says Sears&Roebuck, Dad used it last about 50 years ago.

The neighbor's grandfather dug the basement for that house with a team of horses and one of those. The house was already built and he dug the basement out from under it. There's a picture of it somewhere. Men had lots of guts in those days.

Looks like you have constant supervision.
Great companions.

Looks like a typical german shepard to me...always in the photo. Great looking dog!

We had one of those that would make an Oliver Super 88 holler. I sold it along with a whole bunch of other stuff for scrap a few years ago when the Chinese were paying top $$$. It's probably part of an aircraft carrier or something now.
