Wow lots and lots of shinney paint, and detail on those show tractors. A lot of time and money into them. A bit out of my league though. I like to run them not polish them. Don't take me wrong, those are supper nice tractors owned by some very deticated people.Very nice pics. thanks for posting them.

Hope to go to show like that before I get to old.

we went a few years ago when the feature was Oliver. Great show and a super museum.

I have more pictures,..but this was plenty to post. The Car museum is year round and a perminent display. There are alot more cars than I could ever take pictures of and all the cars are original classics.(Lots of $$$) They have six barns full,(All the barns in the background are where the cars are stored open to the public). Don"t know if any of you know about the "Gilmore Racing Team". They own all the property and all the cars. They have events every week-end in the summer. The big end-loader pic. was en-route to the show. Just thought it looked pretty big nex to the normal size equipment.

lots of nice stuff. Is the big loader a 675 Michigan? It looks like a 675 that was for sale a few years ago. Only 14 were made and 2 were bought back and turned into 675C models. 24 yd. standard bucket. Dave

I believe that is the one.

If memory serves me correctly Gilmore had cars at Indianapolis for a lot of years. I think AJ Foyt drove for them years ago.

Thanks for the reply. bring on the pics in another post as I did about our show. We all like to see pics of shows that we can't attend. That's the great thing about this forum. We get to share our experiences, rant a bit, and get to communicate with some great people across this country, plus across the big pond.

That is some very nice looking equipment. Where is Gilmores, sorry I never heard of it.

It looks in very good condition. The bucket is like new! I was reading that the tires were the biggest problem and didn't last long because of the weight involved. Newer tires are much stronger and last longer. Dave

It looks like the one Diamond Equipment has in Hastigns ,Mi

(quoted from post at 12:37:05 06/29/10) It looks like the one Diamond Equipment has in Hastigns ,Mi

Same thing I was thinking, right off M-37.

LeoinMI · Jun 30, 2010

You are correct. It is the one at Diamond Equipment,just North of Hastings. It"s been there a long time,..still runs.
