He had a Ford there that belongs to another guy that I went to look at. Not too far from me but in Wisconsin.
He must have had a dozen Ollies and a couple of big Whites in his sheds. Most of them packed too tight together and too dark to see as the daylight was fading to get more photos of. But I did get a few - for your viewing pleasure.
He also had an old Oliver grain binder and a threshing machine that were fun to see. I guess he still uses the threshing machine every year for shows, etc.
A couple of his tractors I liked the best was a very pretty 770 and a 1947 88 diesel serial # 137 if I remember right. Last one built the first year of production I think he said. His boys were standing by it so I told them to look like they OWNED it.
Have to say they did a good job of that.
I went with my pal Kenny who's been laid up of late. It was cold and a brisk wind to boot so the tour didn't last as long as I would have liked. And Ken was getting cold.
I made an offer on the Ford but don't know if I'll get it.
Doesn't matter. I don't need it and can walk away. Still had fun looking at some real nice tractors. Probably the last bit of tractor prowling for the year.
I told the guy he should join here. I hope he does. He could tell you more about them than I.
