I was visiting my daughter in Michigan over the weekend and we stopped at the local orchard. Spicer Orchard near Fenton. They had a kids play area with farm stuff to do and lots of activities for the little ones. A pretty popular tourist stop from the looks of it. I was killing time and looking at the display of antique equipment, all green and red. Then I happened to notice the wheels in their 'train ride' as it passed by. Sure enough a little B all dressed up for Halloween. Still working while the rest of her peers were long ago retired... I guess you would say it is an orchard B. If anyone near there has little ones here is their website... http://www.spicerorchards.com/  ------------- 1951 B, 1937 WC, 1957 D14, -- Thanks and God Bless |

I wish I had noticed it earlier to get some better pics. It looked like he had it rigged up to run from a platform behind the axle. You can't see it in this pic but it has a faked axle in the center behind the real steer axle too. ------------- 1951 B, 1937 WC, 1957 D14, -- Thanks and God Bless |

Neat! Rock Home Gardens at Arcola Il has two of them. One uses a 66 series international (the one they still use) and the other (sitting as a play toy for kids to climb and sit on) is made from a WC allis.
