On the edge of the bank and no outrigger blocks?I will shut up after this post .. This was before my time but the guys there loved to tell this story . police blamed kids being vandals but they always thought it was a labor dispute . Plucked out of the Missouri river and just set it on the trailer . The truck a 73 W900 was the one I cut my teeth on Later 350 horse Detroit 8v71 5 and 4 . Still love the sound of a Detroit . Think that was a 7E they rebuilt afterwards . Old Pete the Stewart drove it when this happened .

Do you have a pic of Carl's in Eburg and and Mabel's "Sail in"? Those two were Americana at it's finest!

I drove one of those for awhile. It was a tractor, It was as thirsty as your's. Did a good job though when gas was .32 cents a gallon!The 1st tractor mount boom in the Kansas City area . 67 T850 Ford , 534 gasser , 5 n 4 . I spent a fair amount in it and under it . loading out 518 Link Belt parts . It had 2 35 gallon step tanks . on a normal day it was filled at noon and the end of the day .
