DeltaRed and Greygoat,
First, I apologize for my reply in earlier EB post. I was WAY off base on figures. Won't even try to correct them here... suffice it to say that based on price a BIG 4 is a big-boy toy for sure. (I normally verify facts with my husband before posting, but did not that time... my OOPS.)
Anyway, yesterday the kids and I took an axel/steering shaft in to be pressed apart. That machinist, Allan Severson, has been doing some work on a BIG 4 tractor, I am unsure of the year for it. (For more pics and details, google his name & "gas traction Big 4 from Blomgren estate"... and you should come up with a link to a site he is on). He and his wife were gracious in showing us their shop (very impressive) and permitted me to snap a few photos of the tractor (enormously impressive). He is also restoring a BIG 4 of his own. Just fantastically fun to see!
The pic with our kids in it, is to give perspective on size... our son is 5'6'. Cannot recall if the rear wheels are 90 or 99 inches tall - but what a huge beast of a tractor. And how fun to accidently run across one sort of "in our own backyard". [*I asked Allan if it was all right to post a few pics and use his name - he ok'd it. If we had a BIG FOUR, he would be our "go-to" guy, for sure.]

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
