Hope to have some video of the tractor pull tomorrow morning if it doesn't rain, so check back in a couple of days for that. But here's some 17 or so pictures I snagged of the tractor rows tonight.

Enjoy, folks! Hope to see some of you out there this weekend!

Didn't think to check the name placard -- but I think there was also a second Waterloo boy sitting outside of the tent as well.

EDIT: I just checked my high-res photo -- it indeed is a Conklen from New Holland with a 1919 N!

I would more information on the tandom-hitch deeres if possible. I can see the front tractor is a 720. What model is the back tractor and are they gas or diesel? Also would be possible to get a picture of the controls between the two tractors? Nice set up! Also a better picture of the yellow 4 wheel drive tractor and some information on it if possible. That is also a neat tractor! Thankyou for the pictures and information. Armand

The front tractor is a 720, as you said, and the rear is a 620. The 720 is a Diesel, but unsure about the 620 (I'd assume also a Diesel but it had a more gas style putt-putt sound on the 620). They actually took it out and plowed a loop with it, and he was doing a lot of work with the rear tractor with some sort of hand gear right behind the front drivers seat. I'll try and get some video of that up when I do the tractor pull stuff tomorrow.

The other yellow one is a "HARRIS - Four Wheel Drive". Don't know any more about it but will try to get some more shots of it tomorrow as well.

I'll take some more pictures tomorrow. Any other requests? That one AC WD-45 with the dual stacks has a Chevy V8 engine in it, for the curious (has the phrase "WC 54" on the radiator shroud).

The Harris 4WD looks to have steering clutches like a dozer rather than a set of steerable wheels. Bet that is hard on tires!

Thats my 620 with the belt pully cover missing in the picture next to the little JD crawler. My grandpa bought that tractor new then sold it in 1988, 4 owners later I got lucky and found it, and was able to buy it back. The tandem hitch is a 720 diesel and 620 gas. The owner is a member of our local tractor club. Western Illinios Tractor Club Andy

I took a few more pictures this morning (and ran into kruzer and centralilbaler at the tractor pull) of things that were requested {hope I got what you guys wanted} and of the tractor pull. Hope you guys enjoy 'em [hope to have tractor pull video up in the next couple of days -- but it didn't turn out too great due to the sun]!

AMB(WcIL) - Man, I walked right by your stuff and didn't know it!

Cool; you walked right by me and I didn't even think about it. My bad! I think I got another shot of you in action as well and I might have even gotten one of your pulls on camera:

I didn't recognize you at the time, but I think I saw you talking to the guy in orange while doing some sled stuff (the guy with the D17 -- last name of Stock; a quasi-distant relative of mine I think).

I was surprised that Glenn Day's old John Deere G didn't pull as well as it has in previous years; it usually does a full pull. A lot more tractors getting their front ends off the ground this year it seemed like, too.

Thank you for the extra information and pictures! Armand

Good morning folks; just got some video of the tractor pull put up on youtube -- hope you enjoy!

[b:8a46ab2daf]VIDEO: -->[/b:8a46ab2daf] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t10pwLP8G74

The last minute or so is some video of the tandem 620/720 Deeres pulling a 6 bottom plow.

No problem!

I usually dont take pictures when i go, but i couldn't resist this one. I couldn't believe the size difference between my mower and that 1655

Yowza. I always like these side by side comparisons.

On the upside, Mack's Tractor Parts had gas caps and radiator caps for my WD. Think I paid... $25 total for a pair. Good deal, IMO. No shipping, no waiting, picked one I thought had a good gasket on it.
