fireman 1,021 #5 Posted August 16, 2011 The machine came with all (and I mean ALL) the paperwork from new... Noreen's uncle had bought the machine in Illinois and sent it out to Phoenix for them to use on the farm. It has since been retired and replaced with a newer machine but Noreen just could not sent the old friend to the scrap heap or see it 'parted out'. Grandma assured her I have owned over 50 tractors and 'never sold a one!' Most are with my son or grandson and a few with friends, but I never sold one or parted a good one out. Nice score! And I will be the first to say "Thank You" for NOT parting out any of your tractors like a lot of people do . Keep up the road trips (They are fun!) and saving the "old iron" :woohoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmer 1,075 #7 Posted August 16, 2011 Great story and pictures, maybe you could have done a 'fly by' to have checked it out, Seems like a lesson to us all, if you want a rust free machine, go to the desert for a horse with no name, good to to be out of the rain? Now where have I heard that before? :ROTF: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgoyette 12 #9 Posted August 16, 2011 Great post ED, and super photos. That is a pretty nice 310 and it looks like a very nice trip as well. Nice Toyota!!! I would like a TRD just like yours for my next truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,406 #11 Posted August 16, 2011 :woohoo: Well what do you know? I didn't know they had green stuff on the ground in AZ! Looks like it was well cared for over the years. It's pays to have people know what you collect! Definitely worth the trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
