Did take but a few of the post WWII stuff up there, that was several hundred.

Did take these, Slim might like this TO-30:

A TO-35 we used to own about 20 years ago, but it didn't look this good:

And a Ford on stilts:

And some stuff with tracks:

They come in collors other than yellow:

Was a green and yellow one, but I guess I didn't get any pictures.

And a 1937 model that must have got washed in hot water:

Had the little rock crusher, this one I didn't catch when they had belted up, but a bit bigger:

Can think of a lot of things besides rocks that would be fun to drop in there:

An here I thought I took a lotta pitchers at the airshow.

All kiddin aside, every one of em looks worthy of bankin here. It's amazing that they got all that neat old stuff in one place an then got it out again.

Some of the real big stuff like the cranes and one of the steam engines are stored there along with a lot of the little stuff. It's an I believe 80 acre farm owned by the club.

No this is NW of Lincoln a few miles on the way to Omaha, but a lot closer to Lincoln than Omaha.

Well if I knew the model I could most likey find one like it among the red tractors. Would have been before 1956 because that's when the merged with Ferguson and became Massey Ferguson. Our big tractor is a 1957 MF-65:

Jackie's dad worked for MF when they came out with the small tractor diesels, he said they took the little diesels around and had field days to deminstrate the diesels, said the last thing they would always do is have him drive the diesel off into one of the drainage ditches or ponds till the water covered most of the motor and then back it back out. said doing that sold a lot of tractors, really impressed people.

Aww. Heck, Now I ain't even sure ah that. It was RED. The back wheels were bout 5' tall. The front wheels were close together.
3speed gears. He sure enjoyed playin' wid it.

Texas Lawdog · « **Reply #53 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:13:57 PM »

Yessir, That would do it for me!

Delmonico · « **Reply #54 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:19:11 PM »

OK, I'll get away from tractors this time, trucks and pick-ups instead, usefull on a farm.

Republic truck, from the teens:

Power Wagon Ambulance, retired from Broken Bow Newbrassky:

Ford:

31 Chevy:

30 Ford A:

32 Ford Dump Truck:

35 Ford Wrecker:

I'd a called this a 54 Chevy, but the sign said it was a 55 1st Series, so the other style must have been a mid-year intro:

Interesting, it had a powerglide:

51 Binder, 3/4 ton:

And my favorite, but the least useful, 29 Ford Model A Roadster Pick-up:

Well with the narrow front it was a row crop, since it was a 3 speed like our red beast then the thing had a 2 speed rear end.

Not that familer with the Massey's before the merger, did it look like our old red with the narrow front, ours of course has the wide.

Leo Tanner · « **Reply #56 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:27:17 PM »

Ahh, the slip an slide power glide. Nothin like a 2 speed fer fuel economy.

See nothing new under the sun, they had Sport pick-ups way back then.
