Our latest adventure

Last June we heard about this Antique Tractor Show so we made the effort to save the weekend. We went up Friday after work to be there on Saturday. (Needless to say, it was a great day!)

This is a Model B John Deere from around 1947. I grew up with one just like it; we always used it to mow hay and other light work.



An earlier version of the B series.



An early model A.




All day this old Case Steam Engine was driven around blowing its whistle; it sounded like a train was coming. Here they were hooking it up to a belt to drive another machine,like a harvester. That's what they originally used them for.
