That is an awesome story BeeKool. I have picked up John Deere tractors in Iowa and hauled them to the Southeast.View attachment 575118
Hart-Parr tractors and later Olivers were made not far from.ehere I live. John Deeres are also made nearby me.
I have a friend, Art who's is in his late 60s, Arts father fathered him when he was in his late 50s. No ****. Arts dad was born around 1900.
Arts dad worked for Hart- Parr tractor company (Hart- Parr consolidated with Oliver in 1938) and later Olivers.
Arts dad spent 3 years in Russia from 1920-23 working for Hart-Parr. He actually ate dinner as a guest of honor at Vladimir Lenins table. He told me the story more than once when he was still alive and Art has a picture.
I'm your neighbor too. John Deere here in town and Hart Paar (Oliver) in Charles City.View attachment 575118

My neighbor is retired from Deeres, 35+ years. Waterloo is actually closer to me. I'm near Iowa Falls. If I have a few minutes to spare I may give you a heads up before I head that way. I go to the 'Loo probably once ever couple weeks.I'm your neighbor too. John Deere here in town and Hart Paar (Oliver) in Charles City.
