| Wouldn't it be neat if they actually got over 110 D21's twice as many as originally planned for. The other thing that would be neat is if someone collected the serial numbers of the ones there to see if there are consecutive numbers. Probably wont get there hope there are a lot of good photos posted. |

Back in 1985 I stopped at the Allis-Chalmers dealer in Minonk, Ill.  This dealer was located just north of the exit into Minonk, when I-39 was a two-lane highway. This exit is where we will be turning off I-39 and heading east to Pontiac. ------------- G,D10,D12,D14,D15,D17gas,D17 diesel,D19 Diesel, D21 Series II,160,190, B1,Bumble Bee 10,B1,HB 212,ACC 30 forklift and snap-coupler equipment |

| Will be there on Saturday. Driving there and back just for the day. Is this show anything like Rantoul and everyone brings carts/utv ? Does the show allow them? |

| Spent the day( Saturday) at the Pontiac show grounds. The folks there are setting this up to a very nice show. I do know that they allow golf carts on the grounds but this place is not near as large as the Rantoul show. The triple A club will be responsible for all the Gathering registrations. They will be in the quenset building where all D21s will be staged. They also will have a dyno there for those who want to flex their horsepower muscle. Hope everyone can be there and if you can’t, should be a lot of pics taken to share on here. Can probably do a forum meet and greet in the BIG tent. Someone can just suggest a time or that. |

Bryan, Try clicking on the weblink below to see each day's schedule. Once at their website, you can surf their other menus (menu bar located near the top of the home page). I think admission is $8/day or 5 days for $20 (ages 13 & under are free). http://www.threshermensreunion.org/daily-schedule.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.threshermensreunion.org/daily-schedule.html

Already had done that, the only time I’ve seen listed is the first event each day at 10:00AM. Didn’t see a gate time listed anywhere. Thanks. Bryan ------------- Sticks and stones may break my bones but hollowpoints explode on impact. |
