Warning, don't stay in the Knights Inn in Litchfield. Went and bought a sleeping bag. At least the air conditioner works and the shower was hot.

Stopped by the fairgrounds late this afternoon. Quite a few tractors already on the grounds . Looks like I got a little ahead of myself saying it was going to be down year. Talked to several people Charlie Widlund, Dave the plow man , Matt Scott, Mark and Julie Everett from England, Norm Mienert . Ted J and I went to dinner so all in all it's turning out to be quite an event. Hope to see a bunch more tomorrow. I will get a picture of the forum meeting and post. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

| Good showing for the 1st day. I would say tractor count is comparable to last year. Think attendance may be off a little but it was Friday. Will see what tomorrow brings |

Just got home. Left Litchfield Mn.at 5:30 am .Ran down to Duane Renko's "Auntwayne" farm outside Edwardsville Illinois to deliver some plow frame parts ,heavy to say the least. Be careful what you promise people. Duane took care of me and glad to try and help out a fellow AC enthusiast. Got a garden tractor engine in the back of the truck for Den So.Il. Again a lot heavier than imagined. Again glad to help but be careful what you promise. Special shout out to all involved with the Upper Midwest AC club and the Orange Spectacular for another fantastic show. Always see something new and meet great people . Can't wait for next year ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

As shown in these videos, these were my two favorite Orange Spectacular items this year: • https://youtu.be/Ohc-dUgyUrc?si=64bsLVKm7vRfX4nS%5d" rel="nofollow - 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚖𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚜 • https://youtu.be/zhhOOQ-WMY0?si=EfrWat-GjPLZFHES%5d" rel="nofollow - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆! 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚖𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚜 I had seen that Picnic Table parked in front of the 4-H Eatery, with three men sitting upon it's benches, dining upon some victuals recently purchased from within . . . From a 𝙹 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙻 𝚅𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚘𝚜 video where the table is just cruising down the (fair grounds) street . . .  I have made a MEME from a ScreenShot of Mike's power horse Video.

I thought there was a Topic where I had previously posted stuff about the Hinomoto E23 which had gotten painted persian orange and rebadged as the ALLIS CHALMERS 5020 . . . Orange Spectacular 2025 caused one to appear !  Benj Schultz brought this beauty over from Kiel, Wisc. ! ( Alas, my own 1983 AC 5020 has Serial Number 8520 . . . ❮sob❯❮sniff nose loudly❯) |

( 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚖𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚜 ) one commentor, @trowercrain9958, asked the question: Where's the exhaust going ?   ( TERMINOLOGY: At that time, I had't yet spotted the muffler, so I suggested that the downwardly directed exhaust piping was the tailpipe. ) |

It was great to see all of you guys (Pat the Plumber, Ted J, Lon(MN), Bruce Gould and Gary Agrimson) at Hutch this year! My wife took the forum photos this year. Lol I had a great time helping Gary Agrimson and Pete with cleanup on Sunday and Monday, i.e. getting equipment out of the field and back into the storage sheds. That whole process worked like a well-oiled machine. I got the chance to drive many AC tractors made between 1930 and 1960. Lots of fun! Then my wife & I headed home to Michigan. God bless all of you! Paul & Barb Bettes ------------- Allis Chalmers WD, D14, D17, 190, 6060, 6070, 6080, 8010, I-600, I-615, R62 |
