snippy: it was running last year BigJay. the old boy who had it lifted farm implements for his 8n with it before he passed on. there was a hay rake dangling from the boom whenst i first seen her. i dont think theres but 30 of these old model 972's running around in the world King. i dont know how i found the two of the rarest diamond t's. i guess im a magnet for them. i have crazy diamond t luck!

snippy: 972 was a dump truck back in the day it left the factory. somebody stuck a GI crane on it. its a garwood crane. dont know who put it on there or when. this is the soft top model with the cute wee doors.
