My pics from Pontiac, IL tractor show on Friday...

Will Herring · Sep 1, 2018

Here's about 20 pics I snapped yesterday. First time up to Pontiac, and first time I've been to a GOTO in probably 10-15 years, so it was a good time!

First off, the big dogs:

Then some more rows of tractors:

Then some other odds and ends:

Interesting WD engine with a "repaired" block behind the carb, it looks like. Just happened to catch my eye.

My small haul from the event:

Some pretty sharp tractors there! Thanks

Orange did not deserve its fate. Jim

The only other time I saw that much orange in on place was when I went to pumpkinland.

kcm.MN · Sep 1, 2018

Wow, now that's a lot of orange!

You show a pic of a WD with a "repaired" block. Just before that is another pic, looks like it has a grill guard on there. Can't make it out well, but seems like it says it's an "IC". Is that grill standard??

I really like those Speed Patrols! I think Old has one. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the pics. Looked like a great show!

Over 450 Allis Chalmers over 80 D21's and
the first and last D21'S built they are
owned by the same person he came all the
way from the state of Washington

Eldon (WA) · Sep 1, 2018

A good showing for sure. Last I heard, 86 D21's showed up, wish I could have taken mine!

Wow so that?s where all the AC?s went. I don?t see
many down here in Texas anymore.

sourgum · Sep 1, 2018

The Speed Patrol must be rare,few ever seen at an AC gathering. Same goes for the Hi Crop. Thanks for those pics.

THANK YOU WILL, for posting all these great pics! i'm going to vote you as our official Y.T. photographer :lol: looks like it was a great show.

Will Herring · Sep 1, 2018

Glad you guys like the pics! Oh yeah, there were a few D-series Hi Crops by the feature tent, and I seem to only have snagged a pic of this one.

Amazing displays ...... but if I had a regular old WD45 and was planning on taking it to show, I might have left it at home if
I knew what was going to show up there. Just finding it to load for the trip home would be a challenge.

ohiojim · Sep 1, 2018

never saw so many D-21s in one place. that's quit a show. thanks for posting

That's a UC with the Thomson Sugar Cane conversion

Looks like Pontiac had a large turnout. They needed it after the rainout.

larry@stinescorner · Sep 1, 2018

a good friend of mine bought my wd-45 he went thru front to back.
one day when I went over to visit with him we got to talking about tractors what else? I said to him. I think Allis had good tractors but they semmed to forget about the driver and said oh we need a seat and steering wheel.
Ted said Virg you have remember Allis was on verge of being broke that's why some of the things they did happened.

NEKS · Sep 2, 2018

Love the pictures. Like the two mounted corn picker. Dad had one for a while. Had to strip that tractor down to just the seat to get it ready to put the picker on.

DPittman · Sep 2, 2018

I don't see any of the swamp we had on Saturday so you must have got them shots on Thursday or Friday. Last count was 85 D21s and more
AC total than everything else combined. Heard someone say it was the biggest GOTO ever. Don't know for sure. Sorry I missed you. DP

Will Herring · Sep 2, 2018

Yeah I just drove up for the day on Friday (about a 2 to 2 and a half hour drive each way for me). I wanted to stay for the tractor pull but didn't want to drive home in the dark so I bugged out in the early afternoon, only to find out they got a deluge and it cancelled the pulls. Was a really impressive gathering. Wish I had taken even more pics, honestly!! Glad everybody has enjoyed them, I like to share 'em

Will Herring · Sep 2, 2018

Not sure how I missed getting any pics of Bs, Cs, and CAs, but whoops. I think I probably missed walking down a few rows of tractors at some point. But I did snag a pic of some Gs.

Will Herring · Sep 7, 2018

Believe it or not, I found a few more decent pics that I just uploaded. Enjoy!!

And a blurry one, sadly.
