As if the porn female in the movie is reachable in fact! So it will be much easier to be deluded and playthings to your creativity. you better try out this porn group that will at all disappoint you! Homemade lesbian porn refers to the type of porn wherein female fans create love to each some other and film it at their very own houses! That is best, you will less see well-executed type porn-this time it comes across as being actual and genuine likely, the sizzling lesbians shot it specifically for your preference. milf tube xxxTheir naughty pussies have been itching and you are wanted by them to jerk off to their hot naked bodies! This even happens in genuine daily life you would feel extra genuine as if you were watching a real point!

Don Young wrote on Sunday, February 22, 2009 (PST):This was one of the first tractors I drove many years ago. I don t remember the year of the one we had, but it did have live hydraulics. We had the blade attachment, with a bolt on brush rake attachment, ditch attachment for orchard irrigation. I am from Yakima, Washington where the tractor was converted from a B model motor and transmission form John Deere, shipped to Yakima for the track system and final assembly. Remains of the foundry and production still exist, a fire destroyed most of the facility in the late 50 s. The Central Washington Ag. Museum in Union Gap, Washington, I heard that they are in possession of the original track pad equipment, and are producing this part. You can contact them 509-457-8735. They also have a video tape of called The Lindeman Story , how the brothers got started, and showcasing some of their inventions and equipment. They were very good at filming their equipment in use on local farms and ranches in the Yakima Valley. I hope that some of this may help someone that reads this.

Denny Falk wrote on Monday, May 12, 2008 (PDT):I have a Lindenman BO with electric start I have little information on how many were made. Any information on this tractor would be appreciated.
Jim wrote on Monday, April 28, 2008 (PDT):I have a Lindeman Serial # 334614. It is in California and Runs good. The BO tracktor, sans the wheels, was sold to the Lindeman brothers in Washington St. by John Deere in 1945 and was fitted with the clasic Lindeman Brothers classic track system and sold in 1947... Just shortly before the company was purchased by John Deere. There were only about 1675 of these Lindeman track layers ever made, which makes them very sought after as collector items. In 1948 John Deere made its first ever track layer, a Lindeman design. I would be willing to sell her for 20,000. US. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks, Jim

Ray Thornton wrote on Sunday, December 05, 2004 (PST): I've had my Lindeman for over 20 years now. It's been a good little crawler for me. Took a bucket loader off an old Masey Ferguson and adapted it to my crawler. I worked in a machine shop, so I had access to all the special tools to do the job. Used it around the house any time I needed to move dirt. I don't use it much anymore. The last couple of times that I had it out, I noticed that the steering clutches are getting weak. I took it to the Buckley Steam Show this last August. Had a lot of people looking at it. No one had ever seen one with a loader. I Met a few nice folks that have Lindemans also. It was a lot of fun. When I got this, it was just an old crawler. Now they have become kind of a colector piece.
Kyle wrote on Tuesday, November 09, 2004 (PST):Len Mosher, do you still have the project BO Crawler for sale? If so, where is it located?
Len Mosher wrote on Monday, July 26, 2004 (PDT):I have a BO Lindeman Crawler, about 95% complete, in "disassebled" condition. I got it several years ago. It was running and I used it to skid logs to build a log house. It has a blade with cylinders inside the push arms and cables to raise the blade, attached to hangers that stick out to the side. I'm sure the folks who've seen these tractors know what I'm talking about. One the hangers is not original, the old one having been broken or lost. The hydraulics leaked like crazy, and not having much money, I used to have to take the cylinders apart regularly, to replace the "leathers", which I fashioned by freehand, with scissors. For every hour I used the machine, I used to spend about an hour working on it, as it was old and I was probably asking a lot of it. The steering clutches were quite warn, resulting in frequent attempts to adjust them and get a little more use, without spending much money. It really was a great machine, though, and I pulled some temendous weights with it. It was a little too exciting using it in the bush, however, especially when you got going backwards down a slope, with poor steering clutches and brakes, and the seat arrangement having you as the most rearward component. It was also fun going over big humps, because when the front of the crawler went down in a hurry, you went up at the same speed, and had to hold on for dear life, to not be catapulted right over the machine and land in front of it. I got it stuck in a mud hole once, working on my water line,and after many hours came out looking like the creature from the black lagoon, covered with mud thrown up by the flywheel and clutch cylinder. It was really deep. I finally got it out by throwing rocks under the tracks, until there was enough of a base to get moving again. I have always meant to restore it, which resulted in it's current state. I had someone working on it to fix the steering clutches, but he broke something (a cast part, difficult to repair), and then his wife died unexpectedly and it has sit idle for a couple of years, in it's state of dissasemblement. Anyone interested in a project? It's mostly there, and was running before being taken apart. It's a great source for parts, if nothing else.

Russ wrote on Sunday, April 18, 2004 (PDT):Crawler collection; I did not get the email address for Jason Benesch msg. dated Sat. Feb 21, 2004(PST). In the remote chance that Jason or someone knows his Email address please forward it to me. I was wondering if his family has shed storage to protect all 35 of those B.O. Lindemann crawlers, etc. Would like to have one of the running rigs. We used to work with a 1957 JD 420 Crawler with a dozer blade, winch and Gafner hydraulic pulp/log loader. The quick forward/reverser feature in any gear was real nice. Also the dozer blade float feature was nice to use. We always knew where the JD was working within a mile or two by the unique John Deere vertical twin sound. It could make some wicked high snow banks in the yard with the heavy snows we got in the 60's in Upper Michigan.

Jason Benesch wrote on Saturday, February 21, 2004 (PST):I just found this web site. My father has owned a BO Lindeman for years. We start it up and run it around every couple of years. It is in good condition for its age and a joy to drive around. After reading the comments, I didn't know that these machines came with fenders? Do they. Our collection at the moment (all runners, not restored)is sitting at around 35 deere crawlers, starting from the BO Lindeman, with 2 to 4 of each model thereafter up until the 350 and 450 series. I am presently fixing up a 2010 dozer with a winch from the last bolt.
