This round should finish out the pictures I took. There was a lot to see up there. As I think back, I wish I could have had more time to watch field demonstrations. I'm glad I took the time to get the pictures of the parade now, but while I was taking them I wanted to quit and just watch several times. Hope you all enjoy......

Nice pics, sorry I missed you at the show, Im back home now getting ready for our big local show in Elnora Indiana...My favorites were the HUGE gas powered prairie tractors and a steam engine pulling a 14 bottom plow and a I believe Cass 45/72 pulling a 12 bottom. You see stuff here you see nowhere else its the Mother Load

Did you see this one? Sherry bought it at Oakley last weekend. GM got three Super series Olivers to experiment with. Two were accounted for, the third was missing. The serial tag is missing on this one, so she's not sure it's the missing one. A Super 88 that's known to be one of the 3, was supposed to be at Rantoul this weekend, so she had it hauled down there so she could compare the two. I would think this one and the 88 would have at least been sitting near each other.

I did not see it. There is so much to take in at that show that I was a little overwhelmed.

One thing that amazed me was no traffic tie ups. We didn't arrive until about 9:30 in the morning though so maybe the rush was over. My kind of people at that event. Out of the billion side-by-sides and other buggies I saw, only one was zooming by us. When that happened we were in a low traffic area and in no danger. Just an all around good crowd !

I had never seen a 4020 with a Detroit until Friday. There were several up there. I also saw a Sheppard diesel with a six cylinder and it looked like a Sheppard block too. Never knew they made one of those either.

Hopefully next time John T.

Maybe Grandpa & Grandma Love will start making Y-T buggy flags so we can find each other easier at these events. I think she makes t-shirts???

You are welcome. I always enjoy the ones you post too. Now I know the grief you suffer when trying to post a large batch.

I believe that was the one that Sherry had over by their tent and she started it while I was there. It definitely had a different sound. A very interesting tractor.
