Was a former co/owner of Bockting or something like that - had a nice cattle farm, user/collector of some nice Allis machines

Funny story about Gary. About 6-8 years ago, I was in the market for a 500 loader. Posted here and someone gave me Gary's number. My son and I went to see him, we did buy the loader but that was just half the fun. He took us to every shed and showed us every tractor. He said he kept them scattered so the assessor couldn't see all his AC's. As we were leaving one farm, the 3 of us riding in his pickup, he abruptly stopped grabbed the rifle off the dash and before I could say Boo he shot a coyote on the ridge. My son Curtis and I talk about that trip often... Leon B Mo

Leon I’m a little late on this reply but my dad was good friends with Gary. When I lived at home just out of college he’d call for dad after dad had gone to bed. I’d end up talking to him about tractors he’d bought and sold for and hour. We made many a trip there and always had to take the farm tour. I imagine he did his chuckle laugh after he told you about the assessor. He was a heck of a good guy.

Neighbor was his Cousin, another neighbor was raised around him, he has a 185, I a 180, used to drive by his place at Morrison delivering rock or sand, always wanted to stop, was also told that he had centers for 30" wheels for my 180, not ever managed to get there before he passed, still fighting the 28s.
