Did he have a booth there?  I was there Thursday and didn’t see him. I’m wondering where he was

Bumped into him and Hillary at the motel.

Sorry if I get a few doubles. Things come and go and I'm not always sure what I've seen before.

The regular is a real cool piece. Still has dirt on the cultivator shanks.

I'm going to be that guy.  As cool as that steiger is I can't figure out why it was let in the show.  It is not an IH piece of equipment.  They were not merged at the time of when this was made.  Just like case and IH.  Two separate companies.  If we are letting in steigers then are we letting in allis and ford built steigers?  

 

Steps off soapbox

Any way you could get the serial number off the regular without cultivators?  

 

And a hundred series on steel?   What an odd duck.  Super cool.  

 

Thanks for posting all of these.

I know two brothers that have all of the 88 series. The 30 to the 54, two wheel drive and FWD. They also have the complete letter series and many 66. They try to use all of them a few hours a year, augers, mowing, etc. The 54FWD is used on a ripper each fall. 

All those FWA in their work clothes on display, those wouldn't by chance be owned by the Spoo brothers, would they?

Here's one, but probably too hard to get at 17,500' feet deep in the ocean. Tractor at 4:44

I'm interested in a closeup of the dealer decals on that AWD 5288.

To see that mule is unbelievable!

Steiger history became part of IH history when IH bought a third of the company in 1974. Not to mention all of the IH four-wheel-drive’s that came out of the Steiger factory. If it wasn’t for that tractor, the 4366 may never have existed or at least never have existed in the form it eventually came to be. You can’t talk about the largest ag tractors that IH ever marketed without talking about Steiger. Just my opinion.

I knew the man that wore this jacket!! Passed away at 94 years young about 5 years ago. His wife passed about 2 years ago.

Thanks for all the pictures. I should be down there since it is only 90 miles south of me. Unfortunately it is not in the cards.

My grandfather used to say there was plenty of work before I was born and there will be plenty after I’m dead. If I had any sense I would take his advice and just quit and go down there.

Yep he is correct. It always feels good to be away for a bit.

Then kicking my own ass when I get back.🙂

Two GMC V6's in tandem. I believe some military vehicles had that setup but don't quote me on that.

I never made it back in there to look at serial numbers.

I was told that they were all owned by the same person but not who it was.
