I was looking for the balancing video, but some of these are actually interesting:

I'll keep adding as I dig them up!

I think this one shows the tractors were rolling out of the same building?!?

This a little later tour of the factory:

Longer with a bit more history:

Great collection of videos.

In one video/Film I noticed they were lowering the completed body on to the frame and the rear overrides were already attached to the frame. Did they leave the top mounts off to be fitted after the body was in place?

Tom,
We spend a little time with friends at Pine River Pond near Sanbornville every chance we get and it looks like you're only about an hour down the road.

David, we think alike...I noticed that right off and had the same question! I don't know how they got the long bolt through the body with the overrider on. Perhaps they ran the long bolt from the front to the back?!?
