The Yearly Tractor show

[MFDAC]

I only have one helpful cousin in this area and I don't think she could pass for me---LOL!

Nice parade pics, CJet! I can't remember if I ever asked---do you own a CJet muscle car?

do you own a CJet muscle car?

I have a 1969 Mustang Mach1 R-code but bought it without the engine and trans. Still would like to put it together. It's hard to find a 428 CJ engine that's affordable these days. One of the new Coyote engines might be nice.

Sounds cool, CJet! The electrician at work where I recently retired from has a '69 CJ. He has another Mach 1 also but I forget what engine is in that one. Big buck muscle cars.

I bet a Coyote wouldn't hurt the value of the car as it sounds like a very popular engine too. Would dig seeing pics of it sometime!

I think the photos I have of it are in my archived photo's but I did find one that you can just see the front end beside my 67 Mustang and the parents 66 Mustang. My brother has a 70 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland Engine.

You folks have some nice Mustang projects, CJet!

I enjoyed your photos. Thank you for taking the time to post them. Only thing missing are the sounds and smells.
Do you suppose you could add "scratch and sniff" next year?

Here is a video I shot years ago. I have some more but need to upload to Youtube.

Someone else shot this at the tractor pulls.

Some tractor line ups.

Second one from the right is a rare one for being on the west coast, that's a Sheppard Diesel, made near Lancaster PA.

This is the first one I have seen in person. Its one of those tractors that you normally only see in books or on Classic Tractor TV. In one of my Farmall books they show a Sheppard diesel conversion in a Farmall M.

Yes. It should actually be orange, just a few shades lighter than AC orange. Looks like it's a SD3 or SD4.

Nice pictures of the tractor show. I am playing going to one on Saturday in Cedar falls IA, as a spectator. No time in my schedule to get any tractors ready. The featured tractor is Case. A picture posted showed 20+ tractors already there. There is a tractor show coming Sept 16, just outside of Des Moines. Planning on taking a few garden tractors due to it being close to home.

Remember to get some pics.
