 At one time it belonged to the city of Payette Idaho and had a power broom on the front of it. 
 Looks like the same differentials and springs as my FC, 18 t- case, looks like a Ford 4 speed with flat head  Continental  four-cylinder 
 Haven’t really had much time to do a lot of research on it.

The biggest bull snake  i’d ever seen was on the edge of mybackyard this summer.  It was a good four feet long. 

 Surprisingly no rattlesnakes crawled out from under the sage brush and came to visit. Dead
