I can't count the number of times I've been through Turlock and never seen this. I know I'm a little late to the party since it was built in 1976. I've seen pictures but never actually seen it. The 99 is right there - I must be blind. I'm gonna swing by in a couple of months. Here's a vid I found on youtube which gives a good view of it. Apparently its modded on a D5.

Directions
Southbound Hwy. 99: Once you are in Turlock take Lander Ave and exit right. Take your first right onto W. Glenwood Ave. Our landmark tractor office is located approx. 1/4 mi. down Glenwood on the left hand side.
Northbound Hwy. 99: Once you are in Turlock take Lander Ave and exit left. Take your first right onto W. Glenwood. Our landmark tractor office is located 1/4 mi. down Glenwood on the left hand side.

Cheers

Indeed Deas, I guess it is a little hard to miss when you think about it, was probably keeping my nervous eyes on the hundreds of semitrucks whizzing around my little rental car like hornett wasps. I'll bring an optometrist clearance with me just in case you have saddle time planned for me.

I have seen that numerous times but never knew it was a building. Always thought it was some sort of crazy eye catching sales pitch. Well done video 👍 I might have to see it the next time I get that way.

It'd be humorous if they had painted some internals on the inside walls of the office, like some gears, rods, and whatnot : ) - correct to the D5 of course

Hi OZPHIL2.
See what you've gone and done now? You've done gone and edge-u-mack-ay-ted them about their own country and caused them to hafta carry a lifelong burden of extra knowledge with 'em EVERYWHERE they go.

SHAME on you.

I have known it a building since about 2010, complete with offices and a conference room.

I do hafta wonder if it will start now though. It'z bin sitting there a while for those trees to have grown up between the blade and the radiator like that.

Just my 0.02.
