Bravo! Hard to believe they would want to scrap a nice machine like that!

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
not bad nick for it's age. a family friend was taught how to work a 12e by his dad when he was 12 ron is in his 80's now.
his dad was a grader driver for the hastings shire in nsw. there's is a photo at the port macquarrie airport of him grading in the airstrip with a 12e, years later they checked it with laser survey gear he was only out about a inch he had done the job by eye and feel.
its sad that many of these old girls have gone to scrap.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
