Welcome to ACMOC - I am sure you will find benifits here and certain you will enlighten many of us with your knowledge too!
Your adventures are beginning and from the "eye candy" above, you will have some catchin up to do!
Sacramento Valley ol' guy here but I do recognize a few pieces.
You could have gone all day and not reminded me of those HOT WET DECKS on that two stacked IHC! Nothing like those machines on a 110 plus day and working hard!
TD18A was notorious for cracking heads, especially if one shut them off when not properly cooled down.
Not sure of the AC - steering wheel and twin stacks (fellow with green shirt standing on track)
Steamers - Case, Russel? Advance?
Let's not forget the Rumley Oil Pull either.
Several pieces with "highway yellow", maybe a Thirty but has a hood? Fuel tank looks long! Hard to make much out.
Looking forward to the "grand tour" of the collection, maybe even some video?
THANKS!
CTS

RE: Password
"PLEASE POST MORE PICTURES"
You may not see a lot of "thank you" or comments but if you look you will see how many views.
Sometimes it becomes disheartening but I have to remember that one smile it brings and that one seed it plants that grows into a member is well worth the efforts.

that looks like a nice collection. im interested in steam stuff too. and yes i think you have some aquiring to do. just remeber no matter how big the shed is the accumulation grows to fill it. its a vicious cycle you build more sheds cuase you need room then you need a bigger property for the bigger sheds cause you ran out of land. we havent got thier yet but its not far off. will have to get rid of mum's junk so we have room for our stuff in various states of disrepair.

A couple of senior gentlemen have told me you always build the shed you can’t afford because you will end up filling it up.
