Great collection of 40 scrapers probably haven’t been that many 40 scrapers together since they left the factory. The 60 with the D6 nice rig also. Pictures from the drone are Awesome. thanks to Gee and chapter 15 for going above and beyond. Skinner
Thank you Kenny for the photos.
Deas, there actually is/was a TENTH #40 scraper there!!! Your friends from the "Ranch" brought it out, but possibly felt "outclassed" by ours, so Mike from ABI kept TM's close to the Holt 75. Perhaps he was ashamed of the dent he put in the fuel tank unloading it...anyways, Mike eventually brought it out and worked it some, being a bit apprehensive about working near some pretty skilled hands. He got over the fear and got the cobwebs out.
The optional parade was not an option. The show was a tad "skimpy" this year due to multiple events from other clubs all across the state, creating many "no shows". I was tricked into going to the office, under the pretext that some of the lovely gals wanted to see the Juiceman in private. I must have sucker written all over my forehead...anyways, we had to get into our special crawler line up to save their parade. Many comments on social media even said our line up WAS the parade!
The video is being edited by another drone pilot, so keep your knickers on.
Skinner's restorations are always so nice! I imagined that he and his lovely wife would finish the parade and load them straight onto my trailers! Pipe dream of course!
HUGE thanks to everyone that came out to play. Even that doggone Greek guy from SoCal was driving my shiny D4 catching a tan. JM
