Found out that a local farmer is having a plow day for vintage farm tractors this Saturday. Managed to get an invite for garden tractors. I spent today getting a couple G.T,'s ready. After changing oil, cleaning and polishing I'm ready for Saturday. I got the moldboards about as slick as they'll ever be.
The plow day is near Bismarck, IL. MRMD (Mike) is planning on bring there. A friend may come and drive one of my G.T.s
Anyone interested in joining us, just give me a holler for the particulars.

We got to the plow day location at about 9:00 Saturday morning. It started raining and we congregated in a machine shed for a few hours.
While we were waiting someone show up with a dynamometer. About 8 of the vintage farm tractors hooked up to it looking for bragging rights.
We were fed lunch and then they turned us loose onto the field. There were maybe a dozen farm tractors and five G.T.'s. Three of us brought garden tractors. My cub 782 and Sears Super 12. Mike (MRMD) brought two of his Allis Chalmers. Another local guy, Larry brought a 1953 Country Squire.
Even after the rain we had trouble keeping the plows in the ground. It was very dry and hard. I am thinking I like the Spring/Fall plow days a lot better. The wife took a few pictures and then started on her sewing and talking. Rick
