He wore me out yesterday, didn't realize we had a tag team going. I enjoyed show and took advantage of the swap meet area for a couple of needed tools. Here's some pictures I took.      And a couple of my hosts' tractors.   ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |

Well I made the call to go see Dave after I went outside to work on the barn / toy box and looked at the temp gauge, so the camera was left on the desk so no pics from me.

| All of you Guys are too kind! I am glad that Don was there today so I didn't have to throw a fit when the WC wouldn't start. The one tractor on the farm that always starts when nothing else will. I suppose it has been around 10 years since it was tuned up, do you rekon that it is time? Even though it is an Allis Chalmers? I live only 11 miles from show grounds, so I took 9 tractors to the show. Got all of them home and boy, am I tired. Dave. |
