Linn tractor I spotted in Edmonton, Alberta.
What a shock. I thought only 'The King, Joey Barnes' had one. :)

The green tractor is a Wagner. 1st manufacturer of articulating 4wd. I believe.
Mid 60's. Cummins (220, If memory serves). It's My bosses now. I'll get some better pics of it in our yard. Found one pic of it in our yard on my phone.

Wagner made articulating tractors for Deere, the W14 and W17. That may be one. I am thinking it was in the late '60's when they did that.

Check out the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin (go car shopping while you're there) about an hour south of Edmonton, guy that founded it loved collecting old iron, even used to do demonstration with old combines and such, worth the drive.

Yup. It's just off Yellowhead. I assume you know where.

John Deere Crawler. Saw this in a JD collection in a Ritchie Bros flier. Was pleased when it was still at the auction yard 9 days after the sale. I was picking up a Cat 621g.

If you ever notice a IHC 3964 or 3964B or dresser 630 excavator, please post a picture, as I am looking for parts.
I am fixing up my new 1975 baby. Looking for spare parts. Plan on keeping it to play with as long as I can.
I will be watching your posts of Old Iron.

the last post is a very cool truck but Im just guessing but I think it was made from an F4 dion made for logging. I don't know much about these machines but have always really liked them. I have read that they were built from the bombardier track machines but have no proof to back it up. the track set up is very similar to the truck.

I'm thinking it has foremost industries blood lines. Designed for oilfield application. Has 20 ton Braden winch & 5th wheel pedestal w/o the 5th wheel. Only thing its missing is a live roll on the deck.

Been waiting all spring & summer to haul into one old water & sewer contractor's farm / boneyard. Don't get there much anymore as they now have a shop a few miles away.
It's like going back in time.
More pics to come
