This is what mysteriously fallowed me home on Sunday. For some reason they didn't want to be scrapped and since they knew that I am a refuge for unwanted and abandoned machinery, they thought they would adopt themselves into my collection. Poor things!
The first is a 1955 Caterpillar 12 8t Road-grader. Good machine that runs like a top! Drove it home and boy was that fun! I need to get the brakes working and also the pony motor. But other then those things, she is ready to go to work!
The next is a 1951 John Deere B. The engine is stuck and there are some pieces that will need to be replaced. Fun restoration project or great parts tractor
Last is a 1947 Farmall H with a nine speed transmission. Engine stuck. Ambitious restoration project, or great parts tractor.
I am glad I could save these from the scrap pile. All that they ask of me is to save there other siblings that are sitting, abandoned by there owners, waiting for a good home that will protect them from the scrap man.
I will not let them down!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and story! From Denton, Nebraska. Andrew Kean

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
