Wow, that would be some nice tractor to have! Where about in the UK is it located?

Thanks

I spoke with the owner Peter Thomas today about the tractor. Peter is going to take offers for the tractor through October 30, 2008.

I believe the history of this tractor is that it was one of 3 converted Cat 60's by Henry J. Kaiser. It was somehow acquired by Art Bright in Le Grand, CA and was sold at his auction in 1986. It was purchased at the Bright sale by Joe Heidrick, Sr. After Joe Sr. passed in the late 80's the tractor was sold to Heidrick family close friend Peter Thomas. Peter has owned the tractor for 20 +/- years has has extensively restored the 60 including going completely through the diesel engine. In Peter's words he saved it and it is now someone else's turn to enjoy this great piece of history.

I for one would love to see the 60 come back to California where it was created and used. It will be interesting to see who steps up and how far the ultimate buyer has to step up.
