3 955Hs saved from the scrapper by the scrapper...but they need homes!

Heard from a friend of a friend that three running, complete 955Hs and a little Michigan are at a local scrapyard. They have a sympathetic mechanic so I guess most decent machines get a shot before being cut up. I'm told that 2 have decent tracks and one needs a starter. They are at G&S Scrap in South Windsor, CT and the phone # is 860-528-7033. 

Again, this is secondhand info and I do not know prices or exact condition. I'm just doing my part to help save old iron. Pics below...

She thinks they multiply like rabbits already.

I woke up this morning and as the wife brought me some coffee I set down and said "I was on Craigslist and saw a tractor for sale." There was a pregnant pause, then she nervelessly asked "And?". I smiled and jokingly mumbled "April Fools" and she begin to breath again. 🎈🤣😂🎈
I really don't think I could pull that off and them in Connecticut
I think the 955H is a good machine they are strong and reliable in rough terrain. They are not quick like a wheel loader but they can go places wheels can't. A side dump bucket was an attachment option. The sidedump helps the longevity of the undercarriage

Dan, if your wife gives you the ok, I'll broker you a truck to bring them home!

Turns out I know the guy who brought them in as he is cleaning out his dad's property. I'm told to talk to him if I wanted one or parts off one.

Hi Fat Dan,
You know Old Iron only comes around "once" so you have to grab it with both hands


Once today


Once tomorrow


Once next week

think you are correct Daryl...grab it while you can...cuz it won't be there tomorrow...and when it's gone...it's gone (think Kia)
-it blows me away what goes for scrap in the US of America....sure it has repair issues...but SCRAP ??
-really like that Michigan loader..wish it was closer...someone please adopt..

always dropping GOLD, all you have to do is just pick it UP !
