Agree with e.gregory1. If the cache has been relocated then need a better clue.

The cache was on the tractor.
I note from the logs that the tractor is missing, so, the cache will be missing too.

The tractor has gone, along with the cache. All that is left is the four bricks it was sitting on!

Spiders made this place their home and scared me

Samuel and Sarah

Got it

Found by The Noodler

Tftc

Much quicker find than expected! TFTC

A great little country hide, TFTC

TFTC!

Found while we toured a circuit of the Flinders Ranges, Marree, Roxby Downs, Woomera and Port Augusta for the week, mostly touring the backroads and visiting many scenic and interesting locations. This was found on the last day of our holiday on our way back home. Thanks for the cache Moneydork!

As we approached this location, we thought that we would either be lucky or we would be in for a long hunt. We hoped for the former but expected the latter. We did one circuit of Ford Junior and noticed that there were few places to hide a cache of the stated size. Then one of us looked in the right spot and the cache was located. Retrieval was a little challenging but it was in hand quite soon. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Moneydork for this cache.

Stopped by and made a find quicker than I had expected.

Thanks for the cache Moneydork.

Great little spot. Would have liked to hav gone down the track that crosses the creek to see where that goes but did not have the time. Maybe next time. TFTC

Kids loved this one!

TFTC cool spot

What a nice little spot to find the cache with the family on our travels in the outback! TFTC.

Found it, cheers

Great cache. Worth the drive, very glad we had the 4wd with the slippery road today.

Maintenance has been performed on this one.

Found after a 5 minute search, but the search was most definitely Muggle-Free [^].

I have been to this location, closer to the Railway Line for Train photograpy reasons, many times in the past and all that time i never knew this ol' beast was here [:o]

Took a pic and SL at 08:10 on 2/4/18. TFTC Moneydork

Travelling home from a job in Whyalla and wanted to get a couple on the way back to Pirie for the night.

Found after a short search. Great location to stop on my way home from Port Augusta. A nice old tractor. TFTC

Found It!
That could have taken a lot longer than it did. At least it wasn't a nano...

Found @ 1025.

Cute!!!

What a little cutie. Clever hide. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

A small detour on our way back to camp, after spending the morning at the movies due to the weather. TFTC

Found whilst on route to home after a great few days at the Red Centre Oz event at Alice. Almost about to give up and presto, there it was. TFTC.

Got this one - took longer than it should have. Great to be in the bush again. Thanks to Moneydork for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Hi there Moneydork.

We found your cache **"Ford Junior"** at 10:24:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 15928).

We cached between Port Augusta and Baroota today. On our trek we found a wide variety of container types. & ended up finding 13 caches with 0 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

a short search and we had the cache
tftc

Port Pirie - Port Augusta
We stopped for a few caches where we thought it was a suitable spot to pull over with a caravan on.
I lived on a farm as a child but only realised the name of the cache when we arrived at GZ.
Thanks for placing this cache Moneydork

For someone who is fairly new to geocaching, I'm not aware of what a "stereo-typical hide in a stereo-typical location" is. More of a description or hint would have been nice. We got there in the end. Found with VCM. Signed log. Thanks #ttmug ??

Find #660 on trip around Australia with Willow the little black adventure cat. See vancatmeow.com for updates on where we are. 22 months on the road.

Nearly gave up but had one more go and found where it was nested. Thanks for the cache!

Cool spot ! Not sure how you came across this place, but definitely worthy of the cache [^].
Looked and looked and looked and looked again without success.
Started to consider this may be a DNF when Mrs DISK looked a bit deeper .

Thanks Moneydork.

**Found whilst heading south from Coober Pedy**...

*Another magnificent area caching has taken me...*...
Great tractor and a chance to stretch the ol' legs...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Moneydork...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Stamped log...

Thank you for bringing us out here to see this wonderful old piece of history. TFTC

That's a neat old tractor!

3LG and I are caching our way to Whyalla to catch up with The X-Trailers .
We have several days in Pt Pirie to cache as much as possible.
A quick find and thank you for showing us this old tractor.
TFTC

Interesting

Found while after spending week end in Whyalla an attending a Dinner event in Whyalla, so doing a few caches on way home quick find . TFTC

I feared the worst when i pulled up but spotted it on the first round, love the old tractor that was cool. TFTC

tftc almost gave up on this one when i saw a spider but glad i persevered lots of possible hiding hole but was a good find in the end

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading back to Adelaide after working inthe mid north for a couple of days and needed a quick break. Saw this cache and it intrigued me so made the slight detour in to make the find. As I drove to GZ I wondered what would be at GZ and was pleasantly surprised as I approached. Stopped.close by,mopped out, left motor running as I thought this shouldn't take long. Wrong.min my hast only had a boy look and missed it first time round. Read a couple of logs, Doh. Went back and had a more thorough look and guess what, there was the cache in one of the first places I looked. Extracted, signed log and replaced. Nice bit of history.
Ford Junior is now a smiley.
Continued on the way back home refreshed and happy.
Gratias Pro Cache Moneydork

Found it. Thanks. Great spot and cute little ford

Interesting location. Had no idea this was tucked away just off the highway. After a short search, Mrs Stavros had the container in hand. Tftc

Found after not rushing. TFTC. B

New to geocaching. I found this after a couple of DNFs. Thanx for restoring my interest. Waykath wandererz

Off on a caching adventure with GoodLook on the Easter long weekend!! We had perfect weather and, for the route we were taking, surprisingly little traffic! Our target was the Cleve Cowell area althouth we started way before this. Our biggest challenge was the lack of anything open, apart from roadhouses, on the Friday and Saturday!!
Well I felt like a clown here!!! I had told GoodLook that I was sure this was a nano ..... so we searched for something very small ..... then my charming companion found the prize!!!

Haha....CP told me we were looking for a nano, so I was on hands and knees feeling all around and under the tractor. I even got a mirror out to help with this process. We then swapped sides of the tractor and although CP had done a 'thorough' search I found the cache container almost immediately and it was bigger and longer than my thumb.

A quick and easy find.

Found whilst on a fabulous Easter long weekend caching trip with CPwanderer travelling from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula.

Our weekend has been filled with fun, laughter and lots of crazy caching adventures [:o)] [^] I loved nearly all of the interesting little tracks we travelled and the bush we 'bashed' in my 'fake' 4wd....poor CP was getting worried at times , but I was quietly confident we wouldn't get bogged! (oh and I may have had my fingers crossed at times as there was little/no phone coverage in many of the areas we visited).

The flies, ants and spiders are friendly on the Eyre Peninsula [xx(] ; CP had a close call with a death adder snake and it was hard to find anywhere but road houses to eat at due to towns effectively being closed , but CP was a perfect travel and caching companion and good passenger [^] whilst I tackled the 1500+kms of driving........sooo awesome!! I want to do it all again!! Bring on the next caching adventure!! [^]

Thanks for the cache Moneydork

Tftc successful cache number 6 today

We are repositioning from Coober Pedy to the Riverland area. This was our first stop after spending the night in Port Augusta. It has to be fast or we would move along. Isquba found it quickly. He used to drive one of these on a farm in Central Ontario during maple syrup season.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada

Heading to Whyalla for the weekend. This was one of the caches we stopped to find on our way.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Another good find on way home. TFTC

My better half found the cache pretty quickly after a false start. We live old tractors! Tftc Moneydork.

Lovely bit of old machinery Thanks for taking us here

Finally found it, took a dirt road instead of bitumen and had much more fun! Thanks Moneydork.

On another day exploring the surroundings we took this road heading towards the sea and stopped here to find this cache. I was so glad it wasn't a nano.
Thanks for the cache Moneydork.

On the return trip from Warragul to Iron Knob to fill some gaps to qualify for The Well Travelled Cacher Challenge ! Vic.
Thanks for this cache that was grabbed on the way back.

Another great find while on holiday in the area.

Thanks for the fun!

Enjoyed drive the car to see lovely our country aussie. [^] [^]

Thanks for hide the cache for me to found it
Again thanks Moneydork[font=Verdana][^]

What a great reason to stop! A nice piece of machinery with non-nano cache - gets the raccoon stamp of approval
Found with Alex-thesquirrel after dark at 7:45pm
TFTC Moneydork!

After searching around the little Ford for a while Bek was the first to shout BAZINGA. Found after dark. TFTC

with rosejj, crank1, whitepaws9, my husband and Teresa too....

Outing for caching with crank1, whitepaws9, Laker63
Found it.
TFTC

Heading to Yorke Peninsula from West with whitepaws9, laker63 and rosejj
Found it
Thanks Moneydork

Love it old tractor!
Thanks Moneydork for the cache.d

Found on family trip to Adelaide to watch some Big Bash Cricket - hope the weather holds out. Dad (DeltaDucks replaced the log). Thanks

Needs a new cache book in this cache

Geodad is working in Port Pirie & it was my day off so thought I would head out for a drive to explore our great land. Headed this way & this was stop no.5 for the day. This cache needs a new book. TFTC

A quick find but it was hard to drag Mr Beetle away from this one. To me it was a tractor to him a thing to marvel at. Thanks.

Loved it SL TFTC

Cool spot, surprised the farmer didn't attach a postbox to it somewhere!
TNLNSL
Thanks

Catching up with late logs.
We were now heading home after a great couple of weeks caching on the Eyre and Yorke peninsulas and also picking up quite a few power trails.
We shuddered when we saw where this one was as we do not always have luck with sorts of hides. We did not expect to see one out here that is for sure.
But this one turned out better than most and the bigger than expected cache was located quite quickly and our name has been added to the log.
Many thanks Moneydork for not making it a nano.

TB visit

We winter or not THESE FLIES. Great old tractor great view of the ranges, TFTC

Oh how many Fordson Tractors have I searched for caches on now !!
Micros on Fordsons are almost as numerous as nanos on guns outside RSLs

But this Fordson is possibly the most complete one of its kind I have visited [:o]
Now I know where that missing hose led to, what that bolt with the broken bit of metal attached really was [^]
As Fordsons go this is the finest example I have ever had the privilege to plough for a cache find

TFTC and detour from the manic highway traffic .... if you close your eyes, you can't see the overtaking vehicles on the wrong side of the road coming straight for you [:o]
The highway from Porter Guster to Porter Wakefield is surely the closest driving experience we have in OZ to driving in India or Africa

Found with ramke (although they drive straight past!!). TFTC

Found with outlaw 64

Good one for the kids

I knew this tractor had a cache within and took the opportunity to discover
when we were detoured via this route due to a tragic road accident involving
two women who sadly lost their lives as a result. RIP

One of many fun caches found over the June Long Weekend.
A great time was had to, from and around Cleve on the Eyre peninsular.
Thanks for your cache [^]
Cheers

The Aussies were on their way to the June Long Weekend Event and decided to pick up a couple of caches.

Loved this cache. Found quickly by Mr M who hopes one day to own one of these. The belts looked good, but we suspect that it would take a lot to get it going.

TFTC Moneydork. Fav from us.

Quick find in a really lovely area that I didnt know you could get to. TFTC

Found with justbeck

I didn't like the look of this as we approached the cache site. We've had a terrible record with finding small caches on tractors/cannons/locomotives/car wrecks/farm implements.

Luckily, within one minute Mrs J had the cache in her hand and we were all happy again!

Thanks Moneydork.

Our Flinders Ranges adventure had come to an end..almost. Aussie M&M continued north to Alice Springs. Mogni and I returned to the hills, via Port Augusta and any caches we happened upon on the way.
Great little detour for this one. Thanks Moneydork.

Caches on machinery always worry me but we located this one fairly quickly.
Thanks

Nice quick find on this cute little tractor. Found on our Adelaide to Murray Bridge via Uluru road trip for Oz Mega 2014. TFTC!!!

Ian and Sue left it in the most obvious place, which made for an easy as find.

Cheers
