Richard backed the steamer between his 1947 Kenworth diesel semi-trailer truck and my 1960, 190-Db, Mercedes Benz diesel car. Looks like a race, doesn't it? Courtesy of Gary A. Kappedal, Route 1, Lengby, Minnesota 56651

Route 1, Lengby, Minnesota 56651.

To start with, I’m 23 years old (a young engineer). I
purchased the engine in February 1973 from Al Johnson of Leonard,
Minnesota who had the engine on a sawmill for a number of years and
sometime in the ’60s he cleaned and painted the steamer, had it
in a Fair at Bagley, Minnesota on a John Deere threshing machine.
