John's FC Purchase

John picked up these 5 FCs the other day out of Canandaigua, New York. You might remember these for sale last month.

Nice new collection, John. What kink of machine is mounted on that DRW? **Steve E.**

I went to NY to see these myself, it was quite a lot of parts. The DRW was an airport jet fuel tanker. Bill

Outstanding. What are his plans with these? Any chance of seeing a couple FCs resurrected?

John told me he does antique car restorations and plans to resurrect at least a couple of these.

That 170DRW is an easy restoration... it was in decent shape. It has really low miles, and it apparently never left the airport. I tried to buy just that one, but the seller wanted this to all go as a package.

Hello Guy's I wanted to tell everyone Keith gave me an awesome deal! Really a good guy to deal with. He really didn't have time to work on them but he really liked these things. I plan on re-doing at least 3 of these including the DRW . My Dad had me plow with one of these when I was a kid before I went to school. If he could see me now... After I inventory what I will need, I will have some things for sale in spring. Will keep you updated on the progress. Keep wheelin ! John Escobar (escobarsrestoration@yahoo.com)
