[AT] Florida Flywheelers

[Larry D. Goss]

The first couple of times I saw those tractors on display, he had them
in the lineup with everybody else's and ran them around the show grounds
every once in a while.  Last year I saw them at a show where he didn't
even bother to unload them from the low boy.  That put the tractors so
high up and far away you couldn't see them well.

The multiple Farmalls are built and owned by Harry Lee of Elnora,
Indiana. 
He bought the double 450 a couple of years
ago from an outfit somewhere in the Pacific Northwest called Garret. He 
dragged it down here to our show along with
a couple of his double/triple F series tractors. They are all very well 
done and do run. Harry seems to be a very personable
and likeable guy, too.
