Building a Shop

You got way better toys than I have, an Oliver and um???? an old Allis?? plus the box blade.
And the dog.
I had the high bid on an Allis 200 with a nice loaded on it this spring, after an eternity I found out it didn't hit the reserve and I didn't get it, I was crushed and left,

 

Lol, Tucker that Oliver is one of my saves. It was so ugly it only went to $800 at the farm auction, factory diesel 1550. Owner was a scrapper and wanted more, I made a deal with him and took it home. It had new 15.5-38 Firestones on the rear. The tractor with the box blade is a 1951 J.I. Case VAI...won it on Ebay for $734 and it has been a good one. I usually have that blade on my go-to tractor (69 Massey Ferguson 150) but it was out on a brush hoggin side job. Bought the Massey for $800 because no one could keep it running, cost me less than $150 to fix it all up and now it runs great. The small tractor is a Case 444 I use to rake leaves, and have a snowblower for the front. If you look closely you with see my 20 inch Meadows Gristmill hanging behind the Oliver...... Have fresh cornmeal too lol.

 

@rollin coal
Heres another something cool fer ya.

 

Morton was 25k more than the same size steel building. This was 10 years ago. I had a bit over 100k in a 60x80 with a 24' 16' and12' all 14'high overhead doors. And with floor heat. I did the heating system myself, so parts no labor on that.

 

Wednesday afternoon I was coming home from FL thru GA and passed a BJ and the bear combination heading the other way that brought back a lot of memories when I was a kid in the early 80's. Remembering those were the kind of trucks that were on the roads that had me all starry eyed dreaming about making the big bucks driving them ol trucks lol. Odd how it looked kind of small compared to all the ugly plastic trucks around.
