If I were you, I'd climb on one of your fleet and join the parade!

| Come on Shameless you must have something with a cab and ac. Find something to take it would be a ton of fun seeing all the little kids looking. Besides I bet half the people watching would say see there is an honest tractor that is just how the one I used looked not all painted up pretty. It is the old rusty ones we all know have put in the endless hours of work earning their keep. |

Get on that hot rod WC! Or fix the A/C in your 7010!
Who needs a shiny restored tractor? Phfff! Let 'em know your A-C tractors are still doing what they were made to do! Work!

| my 7010 and 180 have been in the parades a lot in the past 35 years. last time the 7010 was in the parade, there was a 16 gallon keg mounted on the tonge inside of the float it was pulling, and had seating for about 15 people inside the float! and every year since 1980 the 7010 was used by the local fire dept to hold one end of the cable for their water fights. the 180 pulled a lot of floats in the parades too! parade is tomarrow, and neither one is cleaned up! oh...and the a/c does work in the 7010! oh...and the float nubers always had to be mounted on the front grills of both tractors, as I have them big crome nekkid ladies mounted on the grills! some judges had no sense of humor! |

| well....we went and watched the tractors go by....lots of nice ones of all breeds. they were led by an antique 4440 jd. not an allis in the whole bunch of about 50-60 tractors! most were redone, some were still in their work clothes, a lot of professional tractorcade folks! only allis we saw was ona semi flatbed that just happened along. PffffT! soooooo....I told the old lady....oooops....I ean the loving wife that we'll prolly join them next year! she said only if we take the 7010! o-k! she did like the extra seats that were ounted on soe of them! I told her I could build her an enclosed seating area on the back and have it air conditioned too! she's thinking.... |

| Shameless build a cab like the one that was for sale on Craigslist a while back where they had a bench seat in a wd. It was 100% custom wish I had thought to keep a picture. Hope you remember it had a snow plow bench seat and heated cab. You could do that add ac to the chevy allis then she would love it lots of room in the cab for both of you. Add a radio and she would probably drive it to work. |
