That's really cool! Too much of this history has been turned into Toyota's already. It's nice to see that there are some people out there with the motivation and passion to save some of it. If that is in fact the oldest one then even more so! We don't have much mining equipment here on the coast but our logging stuff is disappearing at an alarming rate. A lot of the really old stuff has been gone for years but even the surplus of off highway trucks is dwindling. As soon as they are taken out of service they are sold to another part of the world or scrapped. Soon there will be no parts left for the units that are still in service...Crazy!
