First off, it was great to run into centralilbaler again, always good to see you -- and glad to see that old Oliver do so well on that first pull, that was fantastic!

First off, here was a real cool what I think was a custom built farm trailer.

Here is an old... WD or WC that had the engine fail, and they mocked up a 11 HP B&S engine in it instead. I would have loved to see this thing run and drive around...

Featured tractor this year was CASE, and there were some, but less than I expected honestly.

There were at least three pairs of tractors that were "pseudo-4WD", but man the wheel weights on these two get me every time.

And then a few shots from the tractor pull!

That Oliver 500 sitting in that row of other Olivers looks an awful lot like one that sold in an online auction in the thumb of Michigan going on two years ago.
 
Thanks! How'd you wind up pullin'?

Also, did get my new tractor tire mounted and then put one more coat of paint on the rim this weekend. One of these days I'll drag the old WD up to the steam show.

Did they pick that corn there to shell? And did they plow there? I was there several years ago and no field demonstrations then Thanks Howard
 
I found info on the Oliver/Wauksaw kerosene engine - probably the same as the gas engine but with different carburetion. 4.75 bore x 6.25 stroke. Thanks for sending me in the right direction.

Yeah they had a pull type corn picker and a mounted corn picker just past the tractor pull area, and they were mowing stalks off and discing where they had picked when I was watching. I assume they were going to plow in the center of the train tracks, which is where they have done it ever since I can remember.
