Here are some of the things I found interesting.
This is a Leroy tracked grader. Everything was manual. The lift was two long acme screws. You would have stout arms using it.
This is a real rare Big Bull tractor. There where very few ever sold and even fewer left.
This is a Thieman Tractor. They where a company in Albert City, IA. they where mainly a kit tractor. You could have them build it for you but most farmers just ordered the kit. This one has a V-8 Ford motor in it. The company could not get steel in WWII so they went out of business. This tractor is owned by a Husband and wife with the last name Thiemann.
Here is something rare. An Advanced Rumley steam engine in a tractor pull. It is the old fashion tractor pull as well. The kind where a man/woman steps on the sled every ten feet. It was great?? My friend and I acted as "weight" for several pulls. It was great.
A Aultman & Taylor 30-60. The rear wheels are over eight foot tall.
I really liked this old Allis-Chalmers tractor. I forget the exact model. It just caught my eye as it was a big old brute that was restored beautifully.
Nice A-C D-15 Diesel. I have seen them before but not many. This is another beautiful restore job.
This is a Best 60. I was told they where bought by Cat and Cat took the best of both machines and made the Cat 60 crawler. Nice machine with a husband wife team driving.
Real sharp late 1960s Ford pickup. As you can see it really shines.
Last picture. I just thought I would post this to show the kids how they are going to school the next snow day. LMAO I have the Grand kids believing that. My son is looking daggers at me right now. I told the Grand kids he was going to build one. LOL
To the Missouri Valley show. You have a great show. I really enjoyed myself there. We drove 300 miles to get there. You where lucky how the rain Friday night worked out for such a good cool day Saturday. You where real lucky in that no one was hurt when the horse turn style broke. The guy running it needs to go to church a few extra times for coming through that unharmed.
Only negative comment: LIMIT the darn ATVs, XUVs, and gulf carts. Make it so you have to be truly handicapped to ride one in the grounds. Many shows you have to have a state issued handicapped permit to have one at the show. Your show is not that spread out. It really PO me to have to look over the things as the drivers would just drive up and block the view for everyone else. At the afternoon parade there must have been fifty of the things lined up. Left very little good seating for those on foot. I guess I should have just went and got my pickup and drove it around with the AC and radio on.
