I saw all the tractors you mentioned but yourself. I got my rainsuit on just as the big rain drops started. We have also been wet several times as well on rides. You guys were at the back of the pack I think. Have you been on the ride before? I know the 530 has, as I remember seeing it before. We are only about 12 miles west of the fair grounds. I believe your kinda straight east towards the middle of Indiana roughly right? Have you guys ever been on the Covered Bridge ride in Rockville,IN? We have a Super 90 diesel and 1135 open station. There were very few Masseys in our area. Kankakee did have a dealer and the last location was by Farm and Fleet and it's been closed since the mid to late 80's.

Yes, my friends and I came from north central Indiana. I did make the first Kankakee college ride, was on a TO-35 Ferguson diesel that time. I have been on every Rockville drive since they started in 2003, call it my Redneck Vacation! You may have seen the 85D, had the white truck topper on it for shade, and a homemade bubble machine on back I turn on for the kids to laugh at. Usually like to bring up the rear too. I used to work at a MF dealer years ago, family still has several on the farm.
 
Now I recognize the tractor you drive after you mention the truck cap :) Doesn't it get HOT under that thing, we always thought it looked like it would be. We have been to Rockville for 10 out of the 12 yrs. Missed the first two yrs.
 
No, it's not hot, I have the window open behind me! I am not a sun worshiper, I have several tractors with caps on for the shade. Had a 544 hydro with one on too that I sold to my brother, told him I wanted the cap. He used it awhile and said leave it on! Darn, lost another one! Every tractor I have had to Rockville has had one on, except for one. If I really need to cool off I just find high gear, then the 85 will hit 28MPH the way it is set up now.
