Most shows I have been to aren't competitive, but I haven't been to one for a few years, things may be changing as I saw a post one day of a tractor with a trophy. I have to say I used to go to a lot of car shows with my 1970 442 convert and worrying about what bolt is correct and which chalk mark is the right shade really takes the fun out of it. My car is mostly original and nice, but competing with the millionaire bunch that started showing up really ruined it. Case in point " the Barret Jackson Auction". I like to just bring some toys to share and have fun, not sit around and look at things the boys with bottomless bank accounts bring in to impress the other boys with bottomless bank accounts! For the most part, you can't even talk to those guys unless you are in the click But that is mostly at the car shows. I would say go and have fun, If you have a dent in the hood, tell the story of how it got there! There was a little tractor show here in town at a small festival and they gave out a cash award. I took my F-12 fresh from hauling logs in the woods with leaves stuck in the front end and dirt everywhere. I ended up winning ($10) because the guys said they liked it because I used it. a guy had a nice restored cub there and I think he was a little upset, but thats what judging usually does. I wish I could go to that show in Kansas. I have engines too. IH M 1.5 hp and 3hp and a couple Olds 3hp and 4.5 hp hit and miss. and all of them have the original rust and grease.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
