Case 75 parts - Manitoba mad dash

I’m departing for Manitoba today! Late this afternoon jumping in my shiny yellow Penske flatbed and I’m off. Heading to the hinterland to pick up a parts traction engine to replace some of the missing parts on Pappy (1917 75HP Case). This unit I’m picking up is also a Case 75 in pieces. It doesn’t have a boiler and is also missing some parts, but it’s got what counts.

I’m hoping to get to Elko NV tonight. Then it’s on through Twin Falls, Pocatello, Yellowstone, Billings, Bismarck, Minot, and into Manitoba. Heading north with lots of CD’s, IPod, straps, heaters, and the fire coat. At least in cold weather…all men are created equal :-)
