Okay, it's inside, high, and dry. And I'm in no rush to get rid of it. Here's the pic of it after giving up its 2200 lb. homemade wrecker bed. Stu

Okay, only things I need to keep are the MH chassis and other pieces that are common to a 51/52. It'll be picked clean before it donates its unobtainium transfer case to my 51. Stu

Chris if Stu still has the cab go for it, I don't thing I'll have the time to head down there to get it and I know you'll make good use of it. Just make sure you post pictures.

On a continuing note, we got some stuff moved in but since we don't have a strict deadline for moving we're doing a few things that are easier to do when the rooms are empty like cleaning carpets and painting walls. My big accomplishment for today was to move the trucks to their new home. The F-2 was no problem but the panel wanted to be stubborn. It didn't want to start so it got towed 5 miles to it's new home.

This is the scene I see when I look out the kitchen window:



The 8N has a place in the bottom of the barn. The cool thing is if you look just to the right of the tractor you can see the back hoe attachment the seller left in the barn. He told us he used it on an 8N he used to own and no longer needed it. It needs to be cleaned and painted 8N red and gray but he said it works.

Glad to see you are starting to bring things over. You already moved the important things. Now put a bed some where and your set

Congratulations Bob, even though we have never met or even had a lot of contact here on the board I feel as if we have. Over the years we have all watched as members have dealt with all kinds of hardships that tug at our hearts. So to read that you and your family have reached for and obtained your dreams is a wonderful thing. For you, a beautiful property that's less work and at the same time allowing you and your wife to enjoy the things that make you happy, and for your Son and Daughter in law, a future that most likely comes with the same enthusiasm and energy that you and your wife started with. It sincerely makes me happy to read when another member finds happiness. Rite on.
