If he was the same Irvin Baker I was acquainted with, he passed away about a year ago. Lived near Modesto CA but I cannot remember the smaller town name. He had several old tractors so I am guessing this is the same Irvin Baker unless he lived somewhere else. He was a true gentleman and was 80 or so when he passed .

D4Jim Hi lived just south of Modesto and the age is about right so I am guessing we are talking about the same person. I might have met him at one of the shows but do not remember. I have talked to him on the phone. I was looking for a few more Holt parts.

I can fully relate to this, I have made lots of very good friends through the club, in fact that is the main reason why I wanted to give something back.
