Dave Geis hosted the meeting at his business yesterday. Turned out to be a beautiful day and lots of fun. Thanks Dave
Some of the machines were a D2, D4, R4, 212 grader, D8 and a Euclid scraper.

And not to forget Alan627B got his DW10 started yesterday with some help from Jeffs R4. Looked like a proud papa for a little bit, but a broken hydraulic hose changed the mood pretty quick.

Oh, well, I'm just happy that it will run, it was the first time it ran on it's own power since 1990 or so....now I just have to replace a lot of rotten old rubber hoses, and see what breaks next! Thanks Jim, for the proof!
I think my boot is waterproof now.....
I'd like to thank Dave Geis, for letting it sit at his place all this time, and for letting me use the shop air to get the tires up, and for hosting the meeting.
A special thanks to Jeff Moyle, for the push/pull and the strap, and risking your life to help start it.....after all, it's got no brakes yet, and he was in front of me on the D4, pulling me down hills!
It only ran for about two minutes, but it was a blast anyway!
Still such a long way to go....
