Does anyone have pics they would like to share from Albert Lea?

I only took a few pictures of two different tractors. A 560 with an 86 series cab, and two M's that were put together back in the 60's that would pull a 6 bottom plow and 24 foot field cultivator. I was really impressed with the cab!

Here are the M's.

I like the two Ms, would that make it a red M&M?

One of my Dad's friends ran two M tractors in a setup similar to that back in the 60s through the mid 70s. It was a beast of a setup!

Man that is sharp! I wonder how much work that took to make it look that factory.

I really like the cab on the 560 but the Micky Mouse coupler between the two M's scares me!! Bud and Stinky.

Bud: I hate to have to disagree with you but that is not a "mickey mouse" coupler as you call it but was pretty dependable and at the time helped to usher in the higher horse power row crop tractors and 4 wheel drive tractors that we know today. In the Ford/Iroquois co in central Il. where my Father and I farmed I don"t recall any fatal accidents in greater propations than other farm tractor accidents. In the 1960"s and early 70"s thousands of acres were plowed and tilled with these rigs. Armand

Sir,I know the history and have seen them used years back.The part i dont like is what looks like a cheap sheet metal ball hitch coupler holding 40 hp and 6000 + pounds! Think about it,would you like to sit ahead of whats pictured?? Bud and Stinky.
