F986

Denny, keep those stories coming!! Still waiting on the book here too! Was glad I got to see that building and grounds before it was undistinguishable. Wish I could have toured it when it was producing Red tractors, was in E.Moline at the Deere Harvester works in 1988-89 and remember seeing alot full of red combines down one street. Would love to have toured E. Moline works too.

Is that an old Dodge/Fargo rollback hauling the "A" away? Did you get all of the actual tractors back that he had?

That makes sense, I would love to get in one of those round barns and see how they are set up. I can only think of two around this area and one has collapsed, it's a shame, they are so unique.

How did they fill the silos that were integral with the round barns, seems like maybe lots of hand work to get the material to the cutter/blower? Would be slick for feeding out of though. Round barns aren't real common in MI, they sure are neat. This has to be the longest thread ever on RP forum
