Tammy and I were out doing some country yard saleing Saturday. I had heard about this, but to happen upon it by accident was really cool.  @Roxie you are going to love this.

You are correct sir!  When I saw the weather vane I loved it, but to find out it was full size blew my mind!  

You get a virtual hug!

Not a single picture does it justice. One  picture I took of 3 tractors in a tree. In the video you can't really see, or in the photo either, there is a tractor completly in the tree.

Jeff that's really neat. Thanks for posting. About fifty miles south of me a gentlemen has a 40's B John Deere with his mail box on it along the highway. If you are ever going south on I-29 between St Joe and KC there is a full sized semi on a couple of poles by a truck stop.

It took me a while of looking and I had to "enlarge" the pic, but I finally saw that 3rd unit. Just, HOW?

I can only imagine.

I have been wanting to make a whirligig in which it powers a man chopping wood with axe.

If you have to ask why, it's because you are missing your artsy fartsy bone.

Boondocks truckstop in central Iowa on I 35 had a weather vane made out of an Allis Chalmers tractor, along with a VW bug flower planter, been years since I've been out that way. As for trucks made into elevated billboards, I saw quite a few traveling across the country.

    A helicopter weathervane beside trans Canada highway near swift current, sask. The guy who did it doesn't fly and has no big interest in helicopters. Just did it because he could. To much money.

Wudman, have you ever checked out Bob Cage'sfield full of industrial art pieces?  Worth a look for sure. Just east of South Boston on Cage rd just off 360 so not far from you.
