On Friday July 29th, Richard and Carolee Ourada stopped at Musselshell Valley Equipment on their fundraiser drive for Child Health Research, at the Children's Hospital of Colorado.
Richard is driving his restored International 574 tractor from Nebraska to Alaska, stopping at Case Implement dealers along the way while raising money for a great cause. The trip called "Aggie's Tractor Trip for Kids" will be traveling on through Lewistown, Denton, Havre, Great Falls, Shelby, and Ethridge on their way to the border. Bill Funk the owner of Musselshell Valley Equipment donated two hundred and fifty dollars for the great cause.
The tractor a 1977 International 574, was purchased at auction in Iowa, and has been restored by Richard, who is a retired farmer. The couple lives in Alaska and is taking "Aggie" home. They have had to stop and do repairs along the way, but Richards says that it has been a wonderful trip, and the best part is the people they have met along the way. He proclaims that he hasn't watched TV since March and it has been a wonderful experience. He expects the whole trip will take about two months.
