Going through one of my old tractor books and stumbled on these giants. The top picture is a model 40-80,wieghs 18 tons and has drive wheels that are 8ft 2 inches tall. Just curious if anyone knows if any of these monsters still exist.

First place to look I think would be the Floyd County Historical Museum in Charles City Iowa. Home grounds for Hart-Parr. http://www.floydcountymuseum.org/tour/TractorRoom.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.floydcountymuseum.org/tour/TractorRoom.html and http://www.floydcountymuseum.org/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.floydcountymuseum.org/index.html Gerald J. |

That is definitely a place to see!!!!! It would be best to plan an all day trip at least, if not two!!!! And there is stuff for the little lady to keep her busy!!! ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

| One of the things I like about going to Rolog (Western Mn steam thrashing show) is looking at and watching them being driven the huge prairie tractors. Don't remember a large Hart Par but they have many others like Flour City and Pioneer as well as many others. About two years ago I brought step son who was about 40 at the time and we were watching them start up these giants for the parade when two older guys called over to Step Son to help roll the flywheel on a large Oil Pull. After three or four trys it came to life and that brought a big smile to us. Was a highlite of our trip out there. |

I thought I have read there is maybe one or two 40-80 Hart Parr's left but no 60-100's are know to be left. Really is to bad as they would be completely awesome to see run. |

| Does anyone know how these were delivered to the farm? I assume they were shipped by rail from the factory, but how were they unloaded and hauled the final leg to the farm? |

| I just did a search for the 60-100 and it looks like only 2 were built according to the smokestack web site. Just to large of a tractor and none are known to exist anymore. What a shame more lost history. |

| A close friend of mine (now passed away) told me the store of his Dad purchase a Case Steamer and Trashing Machine about 1918. The equipment was delivered to Langdon ND by rail and then they drove it 35 miles to the farm, took 2 days. |

| I don't think any 40-80s exist, though I'm wrong a lot. David Parfitt's site (www.steel-wheels.net) doesn't show any in his database. There's a lot of 30-60s still out there though. |

| There's a couple 40-80s out there. A couple pictures on the smokestack web page. One was donated to a museum. |

No 40-80's or 60-100 exist. All gone. I dont know of any pieces out there either. Friend of our in kansas has a 30-60 and a model "30" 3 wheeled hart-parr. I picked a couple radiator sections out of the dirt for a 30-60 a couple years ago. Scoured the area looking for parts but never found any. |
