The loan period from the Smithsonian is for 3 years which mean that time will be up in Jan. 2006. In the mean time the tractor is housed in the Museum of the I&amp;I Antique Tractor &amp; Gas Engine Club in Penfield, IL. It has made 2 guest appearances, the Farm Progress Show last year and last weekend in Pinkneyville, IL. In order to keep it out of storage some group will have to apply to the Smithsonian to get another loan period. From what I know of the Smithsonian rules, if it ever gets back into storage it will be extremely difficult to get it out.
