That middle picture posted by Willie represents the only place in the world where you can see a Best 75 and both a Stockton and Peoria Holt 75 in the same barn. As a matter of fact, in one of the other buildings there is another Stockton and another Peoria Holt 75 on the same ranch. You cannot see that any other place in the world other than the Earl Wallace and Sons Ranch in Woodland CA, not at the Heidrick Museum, not at the Bright Museum but only at the Wallace Ranch.

Wait until June of 08 when we get about 20 of those big tiller wheel tractors together at the Best Show on Tracks on the Best Ranch. You are going to see more of the early tracked iron together than any other place in the world. Don't miss the opportunity.

The 2008 Woodland show will be the best ever! One that no one should miss if at all possible. See you there. GWH

What is the truck in the lead? Mack? GWH

George I beleave that is an Autocar, it belongs to Bill Ramos who is ACMOC member with a very nice Gas 65 and a big sponsor of 2008 our show.

Willie, Thanks! Yes, of course it is an Autocar. I should have known as I've seen that style before. I like trucks, too, but don't own any. My friend Orrin Stevens of Greenville, NY, is both a Cat fellow and owns 3 antique trucks. I visited with him at the ATHS show in Colorado Springs this past June. I get a kick out of looking at that old stuff. I always enjoy looking at trucks.

A gas 65 is an impressive fellow, too. I drove one a few feet, owned by a collector in Nebraska - I'm having a "senior moment" here.

Thanks for posting the photos!

George, would that be Jeff Moyle's 65 you drove?

[gwhdiesel75]

Tom, indeed it was! Later yesterday I remembered Jeff's name, but was too busy to correct the post. They are an impressive tractor in appearance, but so far as I can tell, nothing more than a 60 in dress. As I stand in front of its radiator, it looks as tall as a building (skyscraper). GWH
