Of course you know of the Essex Tri-Directional. I mean what real tractor man wouldn't? What you probably don't know that the Essex Tractor Corporation of Lame Duck, Oklahoma built one (and only one) Essex Spruce Goose Tractor (ESGT) in conjunction with Howard Hughes and his development of the Spruce Goose Aircraft. It was built in the largest tractor manufacturing facility every made on this here planet just down by the toothpick factor in Lame Duck. They are still using the spruce wood from the project to make those billions of toothpicks that daily clean all those big spaces between yer teeth. Anyways, the unfortunate part was that once the tractor was made, they could never fire up enough power in any engine to get the thing to move. As a result, just another failure for the Essex Company. Had it worked though, Big Bud would have had to be called Wee Willie.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
