I saw one on a dealers lot in north cent. Mo when it was new. I believe it was an R-60 and boy was it ugly. I don't know where it went from there but I'm glad they didn't paint them all that awful light green.
Yes, I seen one of those ugly beasts from a distance at the Gleaner factory in Independence, MO. They had it sitting on a lot about a block and a half away from where we were. Caused great concern among the guys in our tour group, but we were quickly shuffled inside! It looked like a giant mechanical alien grasshopper that you just might see in the next Terminator movie.

I toured the Gleaner plant in 1988 while I was attending the National FFA Convention. I saw one from a distance and boy did it stand out. I didn't like the looks of it at all.
