td alan, that's a very beefy engine stand. Do you plan to run it on the stand before you hang it back on the tractor?

 

My 1939 Caterpillar R2. 

  1923 BEST 30

Loos like D2’s for the win so far as most favorite!
I would have thought TEN would have took first place right out of the gate………

hear are a few of my 561 sideboom. it was bought as a parts cat but found it's too good to brake.

   
The twenty five is one of the main ones for me out of our collection. It’s a military wide gauge with some other little options on it (that’s me on the terracer a long time ago). One of my dad’s favorites is the ten high crop. This came out of Ramona when a buddy of ours spotted this. It went through a fire, but all of the brass tags survived. We had a parts ten that donated itself for the rebuild. There was another collector who was also after this same ten and came in with a blank check and the owner turned him down. But our buddy being a Ramona native was able to talk to him and with cash in hand made the deal on our behalf.
