    Mike;

    Yes, it is really a beast to drive. Have done a little plowing with it 
with my 4x16 case plows and it doesn't seem to mind what gear you put it in. 
Only had it iut a couple times the last 2 years to drive it around. It has 
18.4x34 tires on it so not as big as his. Standard tractors I have are, Case 
LA, 900, S and the 660.

    Where in Nebraska is he located? I bought a Case 900 standard  from the 
Broken Bow area about the same time I got the 660.  Crossed the entire state 
4 months ago on a trip to Fort Collins, Colorado to haul a 1927 
International truck back to Ohio for a friend. The trip home through 
Nebraska from Laramie Wyoming to Grand Island, Ne was made primarily on U.S. 
Rt 30 with a few stops to see some local sites and museums. Can't believe 
how many trains we saw as we paralled the tracks along Rt 30. Was a really 
nice trip, but were rushed to get back home. Made 2800 miles in 3 days and 2 
hours.

    Don't know if I have any pictures of the beast. Will have to look.

    Had to quit buying tractors when I ran out of money and barn space at 
the same time.

                    Gene
