umodelnut Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 In this past month, I've noticed 2 R models have disapeered. Gone. Don't know where they went. One of them, the old beat up red tractor I have posted on here before is gone, I'd say most likely export. The other is in my gallery here, album Misc. trucks. It's a green R model that always sat in a field, which was owned by Brady Trucking in Carthage NY which is close to where Nana and Papa live. I can remember it sat there for as long as I can remember. Now, she's gone. I'd say her fate was most likely the crusher. I'm really feeling the pain. I'm pretty sure they're gone, I don't think they're hiding. If I see that they pop up again ill post here. But, RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 What did I spell wrong? I had a snow day today too.And Jay the green one is actually in better shape than the red one. The red one is/was a yard dog. Random pieces of aluminum and metal welded all around the windshield. The drip rail is gone, just a big hole where the drip rail goes along. Spray foam fills in what holes the other metal wouldn't cover. The glass is caving in because everything's rotted around it. Hit a big enough bump at a good speed you'll have a R model roof and glass on you. Also looks like they painted it that red with a brush on a cold day. Didnt stick to well by the looks of it. And notice the other color behind the letters and door dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Both trucks look rough to me they both junk ? !MikeNo not really. Everything was good on the red one except the cab. Assuming it ran good. The cab/hood and everything on the green one was alright. Don't know if it ran though. Sat there for a long time.

umodelnut Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Of course. There's two of them. They are the only trucks left. There was also an International which is gone with the R model. Here's pictures of the Generals and the IH. Upside down pictures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 dunno Vinster, that R model is in a lot better shape than the old one they had, no windshields or doors and painted the same way, with a brush, think there use to be 3-4 Generals there years ago. i remember when C Weaver Chevrolet was there and Dale Earnhardt came to sign autographs and i was out checkin out the trucks while waitin in line. the REAL Dale Earnhardt to... not Jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
