Browns is just north east of Jackson off Highway 412 at the intersection of Browns Church Rd and McClerary Rd. The show is held behind the Methodist church across the road from the old school where the Ruritan holds it's meetings and today served white beans (they sold out of white beans) ruritan stew, hot dogs and hamburgers. It was hot and steamy. I wore thick Carhartt blue jeans and a short sleeve Dickies work shirt and was swimming in my own sweat within an hour. Even the airconditioning in the old school building where we ate didn't seem to be as cool as it should have been. Others were feeling it too. The plowing demonstration was cut a little short as people were heading back to the shade of the show area. This 4020 had a faded name near the front that said McClearry farms WD or WD45?? Dan said this was the last of the true Internationals That's Dan standing next to the White Field Boss Scenes from the plowing field Telephoto shots of a 430 Shots of a Diamond T fire engine I never noticed the curve in the link from the clutch handle and the clutch fork bearing, before. Dosen't look like he's caught any little tractors in his canning jar [Reply]   [No Email]

Just going by the straight gear shift stick. WD45 has a curved gear shift stick. I wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting all these great pic's [Reply]  [No Email]

The best was the red neck go cart. I have 2 friends into hit and miss and small engines. They need the blueprint for this so they wouldn't have to rent a cart!! Thank you. [Reply]  [No Email]

Mostly the folks were using untested plows and in one case, a plow that did not match the tractor, They could not get the slat board plow to go onto the ground. Oh well, mabey better luck next year.

John Deere LI The Norvell's Marvin on the right, Margaret on the left and their garnddaughter in the middle. There is quite a story about them and the little Oliver 60 in the back ground Four speed transmission with high and low rear axel Lining up for the parade There's that hat again The screen on the front is for use as a cotton picker Notice everyone is pulling or pushing on their throttle going out the gate for the tractor ride And there they go with escort from the Sheriff's department. I missed some shots of some good things like a really nice early 50's International pick up truck and some other things too. I was looking at the photos of the Adams Tn. show for last year and noticed a request for the origional photo of a 1933 Chevy truck as the owner's little girl was up in the back looking over the cab in a photo that I took in the parade. The request was made long after I quit looking at the photos. Now that I know about the request, I'll try to find the origional but, it will be difficult. If he had sent a request through the open email on the side I would have gotten it as soon as he made the request. If you want an original, tell me now and send a request through the open email so that we will make sure that you get it in a timely manner. Email is open,let me know what you think.
