Alan Dinan Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Great verity of brands, got there too late to see the blacksmiths working, sawmill, shingle mill, and the veneer mill. Just caught the steam engine on the dyno, it was putting out 65hp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtanker Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Looks like a good show! Thanks for taking the time to share pictures! IIRC the MM, Oliver and Ford garden tractors of yesteryear were made for the different companies by Jacobson. AC owned the Simplicity line. IH Cub Cadet and JDs were built inhouse so to speak. I don't know if MF produced their own or had them built. For what it's worth Wheel Horse ordered paint with the instructions "as close as possible to IH red and white". They were looking in the 50's -70's to capitalize on new urbanites with farm backgrounds with the color association to IH farm tractors.

Sledgehammer Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I like the 886 NF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_Guy Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I think that the guy with the 886 NF is a little optimistic. I mean with the narrow front and cab, she's a brute for sure but 10 bottoms?? I was at this show years ago with 55Cub. It's a good show and I need to return. Seems like I always forget about it because I am in our own show's post show fog. You guys that put your heart and soul into putting on a show will understand. This is the first place I was introduced to females who were sporting Skoal rings on their jeans/cutoffs. Brian simply said "well you are in southern Illinois". It was a first time for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was taking those pictures, I noticed the sign in the front window. I know the guy who owns it, just never knew that he had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 There is one similar to this in a collection here in central Ia. I believe it is an open station, not sure if it is a propane or diesel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
