I was going to put this on here on Friday as a tribute to Gilbert Vust but I have been away from Internet access the last three days. This was taken Sunday at the Orange Spectacular in Hutchinson, I found it on YouTube.

That is a cool video. I think when that video was taken was when the 10-18 was still running rough and needed some tweaking. That one is unique because it's probably the only one with electric start!

Somehow the guy in the overalls and straw hat looks familiar... Lol

Gilbert prompted Gary Agrimson to make this idler pulley set-up so we could run two tractors that were too small to run the thresher by themselves. My RC and a B worked together and had plenty of power.

That took some thinking. Getting the belt pulley speeds synchronized seems like it'd be a little tricky.
