Just a few more I took yesterday before the weather got lousy.

Great shots. Next-to-last one looks like the scene from a movie "Last of the Mohigans"
 
Yes, one of my favorite movies. Too bad much of the story took place in New York, but the actual movie footage was filmed down south - Virginia and/or North Carolina. Seems actors work cheaper there will less union stuff going on.
 
Beautiful pics; recall you live in WA state; too many Doug firs in Ore Willamette valley where we are to get the variety you have.

I always check your posts for pics and sale info on crawlers you have. I have on OC46 loader. It has had much use but still functions well enough for me.
At this point in time have NO use for it any longer, bought it on impulse 4-5 years ago.

Sight unseen, I know, would you have any idea what its sale value might be?. I paid $3K for it but it being surplus I really need to move it.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Might get the wife to post a pic if that would help. It is 3 cyl gas, previously used by a building contractor to dig basements and footings for houses.

Thanks.

PS I envy your firewood pile...at work just now getting wood in for a year ahead of this heating season.
 
Are those Case tractors yours (as well as the '50 Ford pickup in the other frame)? Seems as shame to be letting them rot away.
 
Where is the 1950 ford? looks like 4 80's bronco's in one picture, your up near Guilford, N.Y. I thought? Did some work and have been to where they filmed that movie Outside of Lake Lure N.C. area called Chimmney rock/Bar cave
 
I've got three 50 Ford pickups. The one in the photo is one I saved for parts and it sits in one my upper fields. The one in the photo has the 239 flathead V-8, but I've got one put away in the barn that has the optional Mercury 255 flathead V-8.

The other 4WDs you're seeing are all Chevy diesel Blazers. I've got over a dozen of them, they make fantastic snowplow trucks and I've got them scattered all over the place.
 
Some are for parts only, but others will be resurrected if I live long enough. I've got three 50 Ford pickups, and the two good ones are inside one of my barns. The one in the photo is a parts-rig only.

As to the Case tractors - I've got several good running VACs sitting outside under tarps. I hate leaving stuff out, but I'm simply out of inside storage. As it is right now, I've got over a dozen stored inside barns. In regard to the three DCs, all have the Eagle hitches, one is all-fuel, but only one of the three runs. In fact, it runs so good it's kind of scary considering it had sat ought in someone's field for over 10 years without being touched. I cleaned the carb, cleane up the distributor, put fresh gas and a battery in it , and it fired right up. The other two came with the package deal - I had to buy all three for $300 a few years ago. One ran good when parked (according to previous owner), but is now stuck and had been sitting at least 20 years. The other - the guy left it outside with the engine running - went in to have lunch - and came back out and found it siezed. He thinks it sucked in a valve, but I've never looked close. I want to take the wide front-end off of it and stick it onto the good running DC that's a tricycle front right now. But, there's only X amount of time, and I've got a dozen other half-done project tractors.
 
Nice pictures! My wife is from Hobart, NY so we drive through there a couple times a year. I don't think she doesn't really appreciates the beauty she grew up with, other than to periodically point out how flat things are up here by Lake Ontario.
 
jdemaris where are you located? I am not far off I 88 in CNY as well. Right near Sidney NY. Ever hear of a place called Mount upton?
 

Much of the movie was filmed at Chimney Rock park in NC. It was private property at the time and since has been sold to the State. Has been a tourist attraction for years. Dramatic waterfall there and walking trail which I have been on. High cliffs, etc. In the past they had the Chimney Rock Hill Climb car race which was a timed race up the entrance road, not side by side racing.

Yes, worked in that area many times, while employed by the Laneway John Deere dealership in Oneonta. One of our old-time mechanics was from Sidney Center. (Willard Cotten - he died some years ago).
 
Aloha,
Very nice pictures and you should take the same pictures in winter so we can see how it looks with snow.

Mahalo,

Matt, I grew up in Norwich, NY. Just a few miles from you. Miss that country this time of year, the trees always beautiful.
Just like the winters here in South Texas.
 
JD. I grew up in Norwich, NY and had a Aunt & Uncle who lived in Sidney Center, He's been dead for many years but she just passed a few years ago, Dorothy Neer. She was school teacher in Sidney Center. Started out in one room school and said she didn't know what to do for wood for her pot belly stove in the school but come spring the farmer next to the school had to replace his wood fence. Hnmmmmm?
Love the pictures, this was always my favorite time of the year. Look out and see God's paintbrush at work on the countryside.
 
I cannot see the attraction wide fronts have for some people - just doesn't look right, particulary on SCs and DCs. I don't feel they (WFs that is) ard any more stable than NFs. The only tractor I've ever turned over was a WF (Ford).

I really feel for you, having to pay $300 for three DC's, one of them running. I've been looking for years for a DC, but the only thing I've been able to find around here (North Carolina) are SC's and they are very few and far between and pretty close to being basket cases.
 
I have always considered I-88 from Albany to Champlain to be one of the most scenic stretches of interstate in North America....particularly at this time of year. Thanks for sharing the pictures!!
 
They ARE substantially more stable on steep sidehills - and my area is all mountain fields and sidehills. Also, did you ever try to use a tricycle front-end tractor in the woods? If you have a two-track road with stumps in a middle, only a tractor with a wide-front can be used.

As far as looking awkward with SCs and DCs, yeah . . . but I think they look kind of awkward with any front end. Rock solid tractors, though.
Many DCs around here have gotten scrapped and just the engines saved. That because the DC engine was also a popular power unit used to run rock-crushers in rock quarries and gravel pits. A guy near me still uses one - and has scrapped many DCs and just saved the engines.

I'd like to find a DC with a foot clutch - but have never come across one yet.
 
dcarp,
I had your Aunt Dorothy Neer as my teacher in Sidney Center back in the 60"s. To bad they closed the school down last year or so.
 
Too bad about the school. What is the pop. of Sidney Center now? Last time I was there I think it was about 48.
In the early sixties I would stay with her for a week or two, loved the small town. Would play in the feed mill and watch the trains go by.
Where are you now?
I ended up in south Texas but still miss the great fall weather in that part of New York State.
 
I think they have around 100 people living in the immediate vicinity. I currently live in Delaware but my Dad and brother still live in Sidney. I married a girl from Oxford and we bought retirement property in Tioga County PA. Taxes are not as high as in NY.
