October 1963: Henry Schurter

 Not sure where these pictures were taken.  They are just prior to my 9th birthday and Dad is operating a 955H CAT. Notice, no cab, no roll-bar, no high-drive. Won't be long before this tractor rolls down a steep incline while grading the hillside for Interstate 74 going into Peoria. Dad jumped off as the tractor started to roll, only damage was the exhaust stack. Tractor was set upright, Dad was given the rest of the day off but the next day it was back to work.
