Blaine, I conferred w/brother on this one & I believe we know all 3. The top photo (856) is probably Gary Cole (Kohl?). I think from Perry, OH. I believe his Dad, (Dale) also drove this tractor. Center photo-G1000 in White badges was Chuck DeKleerk. Bottom photo is definitely Dave Stangle, driving H-P team tractor. You can see his feet barely touch the platform. Notice the radio still on the RH fender? I doubt tractor returned to farming much after this. Dave was usually in the "hang-on" mode while piloting. One of the really nice guys if you've never met him. I believe Ron Perry was one of the owners. Do you think we're right? We didn't go to '71 NFMS pull. Probably '76 was my first. I don't think I've missed one since. |
