Ron:

You wouldn't guess that he possibly posed that picture and that the plow has
never been in the ground since he restored it? Having been in Alaska, it
would be quite easy to come up with that picture from a meadow. In fact I
think I could come up with something similar to that in my back yard.
Wouldn't be an 830 and a model 777 plow and the mountains wouldn't be quite
as ragged but they would be off in the distance and snow covered. 

Lets see, my 1958 620 High Clearance with my 3 bottom mounted plow would
also look good with a snow covered mountain range in the background.  Think
I'll work on that before spring thaws. :-) Now if only Santa would bring an
8 Mega Pixel Digital camera, maybe it could be calendar quality. Well, I
could use my Canon A-1 SLR and scan it I guess. 

Dream on old man!  :-)

You know, the more I look at that picture, the more I am suspect of the 
whole thing.  There is absolutely no dirt on any of the tires and it 
wouldn't surprise me to find out the moldboards have been chromed.  That 
outfit might not even be outside!  It is really nice, but it ain't 
plowing.  You are right, Dean.  It is a setting you don't often see.
