You will be busier than a one armed poker player with fleas in his shorts that weekend, lining up all those old Cats, are you sure you ain't stealing any of them from the USA because some folks over there get a bit touchy about that!😆 I look forward to seeing the photo's, you might have to get the Dragon Lady to help you post them?😆

Mike,
I prefer to call it a 'permanent loan for a fee' from our US cousins. Yes you have it right, there is a container or two or three of nice tractors to come home from the US. I hate to see any of them going to the smelter, am a strong believer the developed world owes a lot to these old Caterpillars, thats why I like to collect, and put them on display for people to appreciate.

It's great there are Aussies like you buying these old girls and saving them, there seems to be a few too many going off to China lately.

What do you reckon Mike , After Dragon Lady sees the signwriting on the 60 , there may be a widow holding a deceasedestate auction of old cats 😈😆.

"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."
