We also have a Cook's here in Algona, Ia. Cook's Scrap Iron & Metal. About 10 years ago on a visit I saw two pull type Gleaners up on the pile. After being picked up and stacked, they didn't look to proud. |

Why don't some of you guys (Fred for example) get a good cab like that to display in your show room like in the old brochures featuring the Gleaner cab? I always have wanted to do that. Would save at least a few cabs and could take them to shows for fun. get a 7700 and 915 cab too for comparison. Dreaming today as I sit here bored. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| It always amazes me how machinery that is so much newer than anything we have can so quickly wind up as such a pile of junk. Some people must not care for their machinery at all. |

| This picture makes me feel old. When I first got out of college I worlked at a AC dealership for a while. One of the fun things I got to do was go to the depot yard to unload the combines (like the M pictured here) off the flatcar, then drive them to the dealership. The only truck they had was a 1700 International Loadstar. If it did not fit on the truck they were driven to the farm. I drove an M Gleaner some 40 miles to deliver to a farm once. Fun times and memories. |

| Lonn, that isn't all that bad of an idea. I can remember some folks would set a tractor cab at the end of their lane ways for their kids to sit in while waitng for the school bus. |
