What a show it was! GOT TO SEE OLD FRIENDS MEET NEW ONES and see a lot of good looking green tractors And how bout that weather!!
 
It was a very good show, first national HPOCA show I've attended. Lot of tractors I wouldn't mind having and the weather was darn near perfect the whole weekend. Albert City has great show grounds and their crew also did a great job.
 
COMMENTS ON TWO OF THE PHOTOS:
   The 1365 four wheel tractor is called a Mudder tractor in California.   This tractor will travel ,018 MPH in it's lowest gear WOT.   They are used in vegie crops, for example celery.   You won't buy wilted celery, thus it is watered all night and is harvested early in the AM.   It pulls a conveyer behind laborers with sharp knives wading in the mud cutting the celery.   Another tractor pulls the wagon for handling the crop from the conveyer.   They have to have another tractor to blade off he road when they turn around at the field end and all the mud falls off.   The celery grows back and is harvested 8 to 11 times a year.


   The 2-475 Mighty Tow was built as follows: The engine, the first item acquired for this project, was a 8V 92TA (after cooled) silver, 475 HP, 736" Detroit Diesel.  The rear end was from an Oliver 1850 matched up to a 2150 tub (frame) and front axle.   One of the major obstacles during the process was adapting the G-1355 radiator.   Four new side panels were also fabricated to coincide with the 2150 hood.   The 5" chrome exhaust pipe is attached directly to the Turbo.  Tires are 30.5 x 32 rear and 11 x 16 front.   The 27" rear rims came from a John Deere combine.   It scales 11,400#.   It took 18 months to build.   it has been sold, have a 12V sitting on the shop floor, HUMMMMM.n

  Neither tractor are mine, both are friends tractors.
 
In the second picture is my 77 puller(has weights sticking out the front) and next to it is my son Oliver's Oliver 60. Yes his name is Oliver, he is 7. That 60 is the one I bought at ottaw KS national show in pieces and had it running that night. Story was in the HPOCA magazine.
 
Wish I could have met some of you guys at the show. I live four miles away from the show and was there all three days. You Oliver guys brought some really neat equipment. Thank you for making it one of the biggest shows we have had. If I remember right the last time we featured Oliver in 2001 (I think) it was a very large turnout.
