Nice collection.
The two in the shed are Lanz and I can see one AC outside and the one before that is a Ransomes I guess. The rest is unknown for me.
Kind regards, Henk

Holy Crap, and I thought I had to many toys!!! I think I can Make out a IH, third from the far end.We see the Alices farly often over here, as well as grader and roller conversions, they were built hear in Wisconsin. we get to see a lot of JD's, IH (I have a TD9), Cats, and a fair number of Cleatracks in this area.

Nice colection!

From right to left, Ransomes, they were built in England. Allis H-3, Allis K-35, Cat D4, 7J, or 2T series. Allis HD-7, Fordson E27N Crawler. Can't see enough of the next one with the blade sticking out. Next looks like an IHC TD- 9, Allis HD-7, On the very end looks like another D-4 with a cable shovel. Left to right under the shed, A Cat D4, A Lanz, another Lanz, Another D-4 Cat....No, on second thought, It is an R-2 Cat as the fuel tank is ahead of the operator. How do'ed I do??? Looks like your Cats have pony motor problems. Not uncommon. Been there and done that. Dandy Dave!

Ahhh yeah. The one on the end with the cable Bulldozer is also an Allis HD-7 and not a Cat with a number 4 shovel as I previously guessed with a limited view. Next to the Fordson looks like an IHC TD-35 or TD- 40. Next to that, The IHC looks closer in size to a TD-14. Dandy Dave!

LOL... I guess I missed em. :cry: If I was standing there, I could have sized them better. I thought the Allis was a K and that through me off for size. The M is a lot smaller but looks similar. I have 3 AC K -35's with Baker Blades. I have had D-2's in the past and just sold off the last of them. I have a 1950 Cat D-4 6U that runs and drives nice. I also have an IHC T-20 with a blade. The cat 22 was a popular machine and the most produced of the petrol models. If the seat was not laying on it, I could have told by the side the manifold was on as the R-2 was opposite. It is Tough judging by photos alone without some people around to size them by. I do not know the non American machines that well. Dandy Dave!
