Found this Hart Part Sitting in the weeds with wheels buried in frozen gound, Father-son team came up from Montana and helped free up from where she sat, neighbour came over with backhoe to help lift onto trailer.  Took her down to Montana to use as parts tractor to restore the one they have there from their grandfather, hoping to get one running out of two.  Will check in future to see how they are doing.

Eddie, Rob and me got together and loaded this W6 SN3072J (Rob's) and put it on the same trailer as Bruce's 660.  At home in Tachoma Washington, Eddie got her running and does some nice vegetation control around the trees.  Says he will get her ready for show as time allows.

A few days in Back Country Saskatchewan, what can you come across, ask Terry!  Nice find in this Farmall Regular F12, just happened to have some extra room on the trailer for the trip home to Kelowna BC.  I may claim some of the find as MPT made him go to Saskabush… Will keep an eye on restoration of both red and blue.
