Hi All!

Yesterday Matt, Jim, and I loaded up some of our most prized possessions into three covered flatbeds bound for the Doug Oberhelman Visitors Center at Caterpillar's Headquarters in Peoria, Illinois. Cat will be showcasing seven of our tractors for their "Antique Equipment Expo" for the next several months. It was a mad dash getting them turned around and ready to go after just getting back from the amazing Best of the West Show in Santa Margarita, but with an opportunity like this we were all chomping at the bit to make it work! The exhibit will open on June 13th and Matt, Jim and I will be there to set up the tractors and participate in the opening. We are all excited and can't wait to see their arrival in Peoria early next week! Here are some pictures of the loading yesterday. Enjoy!

Shawn

My Apologies to those in the northern hemisphere, it appears that no matter what I do the pictures want to load so that only Deas and those down under will be able to view them. I am embarrassed, as I know I have posted many pictures before but for some reason cannot get this thing to cooperate!! Any help from the professionals is welcome!

Hi, Shawn Stover.
Photos taken by phone with the phone at any but the programmed angle may come out at odd angles when down-loaded to the 'net. To be sure of how they are going to post on the forum, you may need to download thm to a PC or laptop and make sure that they are correctly oriented before posting on the BB.

Just my 0.02. Hope it helps.

Wow - what a wonderful effort and job well done.

Wish I could get to see them in Peoria, passed through there last Saturday. Seeing them at Santa Margarita was wonderful and they did get in the dirt!

Thank you for fixing them Pete! I just found out from Glen this morning about the correct oreintation. Funny thing is, with an iPhone if you hold the phone with the home button on the left, it allows you to use the volume up key as the shutter button. For this reason apparently I've been doing it wrong all along! Will put all of this great advice in the memory bank for next time!
