In approximately 1995, “Rusty” was built from tractor parts with the heart and soul of the mechanics at the Louis Slyter’s Repair Shop in Weiser, Idaho.

 

He was moved to his current location when he was purchased by the previous owner of the property.   

 

Many visitors have stopped to have their picture taken with him; even before he became a celebrity as a Pokemon sight location.

 

He is the mascot for Dino Storage.
