You gentlemen are absolutely correct. It is heart warming to see such interest in and information about these two outstanding tractors. Several years ago I tried to interview Renfroe Redding of Hoven, So. Dakota, who was the brother of Hiram Redding. Hiram was the only known owner/operator of a TD in So. Dakota, cica 1911. Hiram disappeared in October of that year under strange circumstances. He was a man of habit and almost never varied from them, did not like to be away from his farm for more than a few hours at a time. He was seen leaving town about 10:30PM (long after his usual bed time of 8:00PM)with two men and a women. One man was reported to look just like Garth Brooks, complete with head set microphone. The women was descibed as tall, blond, wearing a black mini skirt and topless. No one remembers what the second man looked like. Hiram was never seen again. Anyway in my attempt to interview Renfroe about the TD and Hiram, he became increasing upset and tried to sell me a vacuum cleaner and when that failed, some term life insurance. I terminated the interview as soon as possible and left. I guess we'll never know the true story.
