I'm new here but thought i'd post some stuff from nw indiana. My son is into r models, only 1987 ones, the year he was born. His mentors prolly17 years ago were alan smith, norm & bill shuldt and tom bronge. we had started a antique caterpillar chapter up to smiths place. my son fell 4 the r models hanging there and had to have 1 to drive around the farm here. he got 1 at 14 and now 5, he ain't 30 yet. RIP in BULLDOG heaven norm & al. now 4 some photos. my sons custom r688st, listed on the for sale page. b safe drivers & thanks 4 looking
