This is a 1957 Koehring 405 that was kindly donated to The Le Sueur County Pioneer Power club. It had been sitting since 1996 and needed some TLC. Over 3 Saturdays a couple of fellow club members and I were able to get it operational and moved to the club grounds. You can see this and many other pieces of equipment running, just as they should during our August show.

Back in the early 1980s I worked for a scrap yard gravel pit operation and we had a 405, was a good machine for loading trucks. I found it easy to operate and tracked well. Was the last shovel I have ever operated, the yard was sold and the equipment is gone hope it survied. Hope to come to one of your shows some day, keep up the good work. Phil
