Big 4 Tractor Revival

Those of you who were with us via email on our Fall 2005 trip may remember the pictures of this tractor which we discovered at the Frontier Museum in Monticello, UT, a little way south of Moab, UT, the gateway to Arches National Park.

One of our fellow Rally-ites, Larry Miller, an urban tree specialist for the Texas Forestry Service, happens also to be an antique tractor afficianado. When I told him about the Big 4 he became excited and asked for pictures.

After he received the pictures, Larry did a little research and sent the following link to me. It seems the Monticello folks did indeed succeed in their quest to rehab this old tractor and get it in running order! More power to them!
