The 1963 Case 830 I drove in the front, my dad's pretty 1959 Case 800 in the rear. This is in my dad's shop right before we pulled out, I blame the blurryness of the picture to it being 5:30 AM
Old Abe (official nickname for Case's emblem) on the front of the 830, the late late 50's and early 60's Cases had a pretty neat front end IMO. They also made fullsize statues of the Old Abe for choice dealerships that are now worth thousands of dollars.
This is shortly after I started the 21 mile journey to where the ride actually started.
The sunrise shining thru the humidity over some gently rolling hills makes for a neat picture on the way to the starting point.
After we met at the A-C museum (sorry no pictures) on our way out of town. I tried to take a picture of the tractors going up the hill in the distance... but the camara focused on the shiny new exhaust pipe, chrome is good.
The MC is an early John Deere crawler, it would be fun to play with for awhile. This is the John Deere museum just outside of town that was our first stop. This is also what Will's would look like if he would happen to thow a little paint over his primer/rust.
Nice little M highway mower, it looks better than new and I had never seen one before.
Lindeman was a company that bought John Deere B's and converted them to a crawler, they did so well than JD bought them out and based their future crawlers off of their design.
On the way to lunch at a small farm equipment company. You can see all the tractors in front of me, and there was roughly that many behind me as well, rough counts usually came up to about 60 machines. If I would have had a way to keep my 8k# hunk of iron on the road I would have attempted a rearward shot.
These two led the way, they were from the A-C museum. I am a bit of a A-C nut (moreso than Case) so these two were fun to look over, not many of them around our area.
This is some of the tractors, they went on around the building (where I was parked) I couldn't get a picture of our side, by the time I got there they were getting ready to leave.
I like their trucks and a few choice cars, but their farm equipment has always struck me as strange, as this one armed front end loader. This was at our last stop, a Ford museum.
I didn't know Ford tried the combine business, must not have been much to write home about, as it was a new one to about everybody there.
1970 IH 1100 (light half ton) pickup truck, only has 55k miles on it and is spotless.
Quite honestly the ugliest pickup front end I have ever seen. Sadly it is a 1960 Ford pickup.
Ford car with a retractable hardtop, it was a neat car although I don't remember the model.
Another Ford car that has a really neat two tone paint job.
Here it is all in one picture, a 1963 Case 830 Diesel with a dual range transmission (as opposed to Case-O-Matic like the 800) The previous owner didn't have the hood on it when we got it, and from the difference in paint hadn't for quite awhile.
