In Reply to: Linn truck with Gradall posted by greg oliver on August 11, 2018 at 05:01:46:

Greg, hopeing to see you and SMS and other at Roseboom tractor show this coming weekend for a YT roundup.
The town of Springfield had a Lynn tractor for years. It had a Hercules big 6 in it with straight pipe straight up out of the hood. Had a V plow on front and double wings. There was a wooden enclosure with a wood stove in it behind the cab for the wing men to control the wings. They were manual lift with big hand wheels like on graders of that time. I am not sure how the V blade was lifted. They ran it into the 60s when we got big storms. Eventually the Walters took over. They still have one of them that still sees some "winging back" duty. It also has a big Herc in it.
I can still remember them bucking snow drifts with both the Lynn and the Walters.
The Lynn was slow, but had lots of power and traction. They had to be careful not to push too far into drifts that came over the V blade as they could get wedged in and could not be able to back out.
The Walters were faster, and could really throw some snow when bucking deep drifts, but they were prone to twisting of front axles if you did not dump the clutch in time.
This was back before the town cut all the trees and removed stumps, and all the stone walls that lined both side of town roads.
The Federal Erwin plan gave money to local townships to improve their roads, and now the snow doesn't fill them 15' deep with snow in the winter.
The last I knew there was also a Lynn with dump box like pictured on this thread. It was owned by Montgomery County Hwy Dept. They always displayed it at the Fonda fair, and would do an exhibition pull on Tractor Pull night. It had a 220 Cummins and had no problem making the 300' mark with front tires proudly in the air.
The fellow who drove it when new and most of it's life, died, and I'm not sure where it is now.

Loren

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
