Title: Look what followed me home
Post by: OH Doug on May 24, 2011, 07:54:14 PM
Grandpa passed away a couple of years ago and when the time came for the farm sale, I made sure my grandma knew that I wanted these two to keep them in the family. Unfortunately, I was living in the city at the time and had nowhere to keep them. Well, finally have a place with some room and started making all the arrangments. They showed up a couple of weeks ago.

The AGH is a '38 my grandfather bought. The Minneapolis Moline JT is a '36 originally owned by my great grandfather. The Cletrac runs and has near perfect tin. Just need to clean her up, tinker with the brakes, and replace the seat. It's in amazing shape considering it sat outside for 15+ years. The JT is almost as good. Engine was stuck when my grandfather rescued it from a fencerow. He got it up and running and got most of it primed.  All that's left for me to do is straighten a fender, play with the carb, and fix a small leak in the radiator. Course, with my schedule, it will probably be quite a while before I get everything done.

Boy you've got not only some great iron there but some great family history as well.
