I hauled the latest 2C1 home and set it on an F15A. The lineup is looking pretty good.

Default Latest Aquisition

Hi Dave .Look's like you are ready for war with that lineup .I don't think some of these fellows from afar know how iron and wood can sit out side for years and servive like in Saskatewan .But did you get alot of rain this year ? We only had 3" all summer .It's good to see your pictures so when you see a box like some of yours a person will know what you are looking at .Is that your brother doing all the work with that picker?

Well, I couldn't thrash today so we went south of Elrose and picked up that C8 that was discussed before. I thought both front wheels were on it but there's only one. The front wheel adapters are there but the rear ones are gone. It's hard to believe it sat in that same spot for 60 years unmolested.

Default Good rescue Dave...

Looking for these C8 knee shock mounts is you are considering parting some of it out. Cheers Rob in Steinbach Maniktoba

Knowing how hard it is to access wheels and tires and adapters for the 8cwts, I'll likely use the cab on a 15cwt and not use the chassis. Anybody wanting 8cwt parts let me know. I'd prefer to trade for stuff I need but that's not always possible. Rob, both those shock mounts are there. Did you ever get enough wheels?
