Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors O/T Don

All this spare time I've been cruising the world looking for my next ride, I think I found it. Do you have a Lombard log hauler? I want a Linn tractor.

I belive Don Has 2 Lombards, I rode one one of them!

Joe, I do have 2 lombard tractors and 1 linn 1925 dump truck!! They do not go as fast as some Mopar products tho. .If you go to the "KING OF OBSOLETES" website Joey Barnes has a few Linn tractors that he uses in northern Saskatchewan, hes a bit of a charactor.Heres a couple pictures.





I hope to rebuild the cab this summer and get it running again,When i first got it about 40 years ago it ran !!!!

I need to send you the 1952 FWD Model LD dump that my neighbor has. As it is, I think when scrap goes up, it's getting scrapped. I told him I thought it was cool, the last time I was up there, he had it all cleaned out. I think his BIL said it did run.

Well Joe i could send you a couple of ww2 Sterling trucks i own!!!!! Sterling made 100 of these model DDS150 all wheel drive trucks in 1944 for the U.S. Navy for hauling torpedos, there kinda rough,but with only 100 made there pretty rare.





after the war the yellow one ended up with a gradall on it,and the orange one had a small crane on it.

Yow! That's some serious machinery. What engines were used in the Sterlings? Proprietary or off-the-shelf?

Don, Do you have an torpedoes to go with the trucks?

That Oliver is really cool! I've never seen one like that. I'm slumming it with a Farmall M

See if she'll start with that hand crank Don.

I used to start both th lombard and linn with the hand crank !! once upon a time. The Sterlings were made in Millwaukee and waukesha engines were made nearby,so every gasoline engine sterling had a waukesha. These had 6srkr motors around 525c.i. flathead sixes. the diesel sterlings all used 6 cylinder cummins. Sterlings were some of the first to use diesels in the early 30's.
David, A friend of mine did come up with a torpedo years ago while dragging for scollops off the coast of maine, as soon as they saw it in the net they had the coast guard come get it. Joe check and see if the FWD has a hercules jxc engine in it,i need one for one of my smaller cletracs. Damnesia, i have a few tractors to, 1943 case VAIW warehouse tractor ,1949 case SC, 1948 ford 8n and a1960's industrial 30 massey-ferguson and a toro "GENERAL" greens tractor. This is why im not on the savage forum all the time !!!! I got "JUNK" everywhere i need to work on !!!!!!! Don

I can get you the patent drawing's for Arthur's wire guided torpedo...

I was grouse hunting in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom back in 2011 and I came across an old Federal dump truck, abandoned in the woods. I had to look online to find out what it was.

loggah has the stuff on a calm day you can drive by and hear most of it rusting

that does not include his gun museum

Starting to smell like a sibling rivalry.

Maybe the bro likes rare rusty old cool equipment?

Couple years back I saw a guy walking around a fenced lot full of old trucks and tractors. I’d been trying to get in and see them for years. The first truck as you walked on the lot was a 34 Federal. He had a 37 IH wrecker. I liked the Federal, but what I really wanted was 56 IH R160. My very first vehicle I ever bought, when I was 14-15, was an IH R120 stake body. He said the truck had been the first truck a moving and storage company had bought. The owner loved it and when they bought their next truck, he retired the old I H and put it one of their storage buildings. Nice paint, no rust. I kept going back and the place was never open. Finally I saw the guy and stopped, the truck was gone.

Grew up on a Ollie cletrac! When the engine threw a rod , dad and I put a Buick straight eight in it. With the 3 speed trans coupled to the stock trans.
Put it in low in both boxes, crack the throttle side open, climb off , eat lunch, take a nap, and walk 5 feet and get back on!
Man could that thing push! 3040 if I remember right.

Heres my little cletrac model 12-20 it is a bit rusty but runs nice.

One of my friends has an Olliver OC6 with a front end loader on it. He's kind of like Don, has more stuff to ride on than you can count. He has a beautiful, self restored Model T Huckster truck, 3 Model T Roadster Pick up cabs, all in very good condition, none with titles. Last time I was over his new toy was a Studebaker Weasel, not running of course. He lives on 3 acres and had over 20 vehicles. He's back a long, long drive and can't be seen from the road. One of his neighbors was moving, and the real estate agent turned him into the county. He had to build a 60X90 building to fit everything in. But, he did it.
