Thanks to my Wife's Uncle Mike, who purchased it in 1994 and then sold it to me in 2023, I have begun to add machining to list of hobbies. Father in law Joel helped load a few items the night before the move. He's a funny guy.

I also have wonderful neighbors. Bob has a large front end loader and this isn't the first thing he has lifted.

Now it's up to me to clean it, replace and restore some parts, and get this magnificent WWII era machine running like new.
