Wow!! Who would have believed they were still around. Sure hope some collector buys up one of the tiller tractors and tries to restore it. Thanks for posting

Long abandoned fire apparatus and buses have always been interesting to me. Or any long forgot about vehicle for that matter. While it’s great that there are countless apparatus and dedicated people to make it possible that are saved and/or restored to their original(or close to it) glory, this is the fate of many apparatus. Perhaps they are beyond reasonable repair or the department just wanted them out. Interesting how red starts off with much shine and then loses shine, then turns almost pink.
Indeed, who knows what automotive treasures lurk behind one’s garage, barn or warehouse doors?
