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.



Ron,
You are probably correct on all of them.Both Dale and Gary Kohl from Perrysburg,Ohio each pulled 856 IH's in to the 1990's.

Ron Perry owned and built (around 1970) the G-1000 MM and drove it some the first couple of years.After that Dave Stangle drove it all the time and they called it Solid Junk.I saw it pull twice in 1971 and Ron drove it both times.I have a picture of Ron pulling it at Bethany,MO that year.

I figured that was Charles DeClerck from Taylorsville,Ill on the red G-1050 MM.I hear that its still in the family.

Thanks for the help.
