South Central Illinois | What has become of all of the older machines? I suppose that some went through scrap yards. Some are keepsakes in the back corners of machine sheds. One gentleman in our area has a couple dozen rusting away in his front yard. As fuel prices went up the gassers were parked and everyone went with the diesel’s. I remember when Dad traded off the last gasser, a neighbor called to ask about it. He really wanted to purchase it. He had an old gasser and wanted to move up to a diesel. I said, if you want a diesel then keep looking. |
