I remember the first time I saw the bombshell at El Nora, I didn't particularly care for it at first, I thought.."whatever"..to each his own.
The year they had the State Red show there I ran into Harry early on Friday morning and he explained how & why he built it, he had a book he got the picture from that gave him the idea to build it. He then walked me around it for almost an hour, pointing to the tractor & then the photo, beleive me that is one very rare tractor, after that I had more of an appreciation for it, not only from a mechanic's standpoint, but what it had taken for him to do it from a photograph.
Early the next day he came around again, & showed me the rest of the fleet he had there. That was about the only time I was able to talk with him for over an hour, uniterrupted...not once but twice, in one weekend that was a feat in itself at any show he attended.
He knew my Uncle & cousin & swore he would never hold that against me, grinned a big grin, and he was gone.
I appreciate the photos, brings back some very fond memories.
