How Windy Is It - Part II

Upon first look see, you may think that the wind out here did this, but alas not. This was done by some one(s) that had nothing better to do. A cruel joke. I had a Massey 55 on auction from this farmer and was getting ready to post these two Case (1010 / 1060) combines that he was displaying along his feild line with the county road. He called me the other night and told me someone had hooked up some chain and tugged them over with their 4x4's... persons unknown, but deed shown to the world here on YT. Now I am helping the farmer out to find a salvage home for these two dead birds. Have been busy at it and am making headway with one scrap dealer. Seems the rest I talked too are not interested in anything before 1980. Well we'll hope and see. Anyway, thanks for all the WIND REPLYS here on YT forum, made for many smiles... that sure keeps a fella going. Perhaps post you dasterdly deeds done to your stuff so others can watch for risk situations.

I only report them as I see them. My first look at the scene I though perhaps the combines were happily travelling through space from the planet JI-Case and met thier end when encountering Earth in their path, but there should of been a crater. No, they were parked up on the edge of the field and precarious to the ditch (I can not spell bullyievard) and the tire marks in the gravel road show a good effort and little pull and jerk toppled them over the edge. Now for Alberta 4x4's, I desire not to get into a challange nor boast we can out pull any other as that would be a sport event... but sporting these combines can't weight that much considering most scrap dealers don't see any weight there I guess we would have to put it to a test. I'll prop them back up on the ditch bank and open up the challenge, set up a beverage and sandwich booth, sell buttons and take pictures. Once they are crushed up to a small ball, then load on auto trailer and haul them away for melt down, all in fun. Serious, I extend my sympathies to those who perished in the dust storm car crash... we have that up here every so often, sad to say. If your up for it e-mail off one of my auction pages and I will send you a humerous Toyota Hilux 4x4 commercial that shows what a 4x4 can do.
