L.I.A.P.A. Show pictures

[c-series don 8,707]

The Long Island Antique Power Association held its summer show and tractor pull this weekend. I went today (Sunday) with my son in law and brother. We took my Work Horse GT-1800, C-175 Automatic, and 420-LSE to the show. Here’s some pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Something you hardly ever see anymore - early bodied short track Modifieds. Used to love watching these as a kid - not many survived. Not sure about the low blue one between the 7-11 and the 34 - that may have a later style body.

Don thank you for the picks. A nice group of different mechanical machines and tractors. That looked to be a nice show to be at.

Thanks for sharing.  Looks like a nice variety of equipment.

I love those Trucks with a snout.

Btw. What is the 4. in row for a Brand?

looks similar to a Faun Truck....

 

 

 

 

 

Oooooh The Faun’s - Memories comes up...

 

That was the first big Truck in Drivingschool of the Bundeswehr each rookie must drive.

They had an unsyncronized Gearbox

so Double dome with intermediate declutching and „ hear the right rpm“ was the gamechanger from turning a kickback and screaming Gearbox into a real roaring Engine Monster. 

It’s V12 Multifuel Aircooled Deutz engine with 19 litre displacement and about 260 horses... Oh Boy - what a Soundambiente..❤️

 

 

As i remember it has no Powersteering at all and even correct Shifting without a Backkick was definitely real „hard Work“ and good timing. 🤪

 

And beware if you wasn‘t right in the Gear and releasing the Clutch too early - that Monster Kick back the shifter Stick very Badly

and punish a wrong or raping drivin style often with a broken wrist - what was not rare back in the Time...

 

The most in the military hates them - i love it to Drive that Beast.❤️

 

The Sound was unbeatable.

But i know i be „not normal“ 🤪😂

 

I believe i get old but i must Say, 

Thanks for bringing me back these good Memories.

👍

Those are Macks. 

The squared front fenders are referred to as  "pit fenders" ~ at least by my forefathers.

@ri702bill Those modifieds belong to a couple of friends of mine. One is a collector and the other is a retired driver/owner of the cars and I believe still holds one of the track records at Riverhead Speedway. Both really nice salt of the earth kind of guys. 
 @Pullstart You know Kevin I honestly didn’t look carefully at the steering on that tractor but, yes it looks like it would be some kind of cable steer? 
 @Tractorhead I was going to answer your question but @ebinmaine beat me to it!

@953 nut so it’s a tiller steer, but a wheel was added?

[oliver2-44 9,750]

Thanks for sharing , looks like a great show.

 

It hard for me to think of this tractor as an old or an antique. But it is 50+/- years old. Back in my high school Ford Tractor Shop flunky days a local farmer had one with a cab. I helped a mechanic split it 3 times the first year he owned it due to hydraulic transmission warranty problems. They finally sent a factory guy down who found the main transmission housing was mis-machined. The farmer got a new tractor.   That mechanic had a temper and liked to yell/cuss a lot and throw wrenches at the stupid flunky. I guess that was part of learning to do what your told and keep your head down below the radar at times.

Not quite, toward the end of production the flexible cable steering was added, just showing the brand with the link.

Cars remind me of Junior Johnson and running bootleg.... 

Thanks for taking us along Don...

Great pics! 
 Anytime I go to a show I always forget to snap pictures till the end

@Pullstart Kevin - I respectfullly disagree. Those in the video are modern 5/8 scale "Legend" cars - all using the same chassis, tire, and 1200 cc motorcycle engine. There was one race on a Wednesday in June for them at Seekonk, but got rained out as I recall...

What do you disagree with?  Those are VROA Modifieds in the video, running mainly in-line 6 engines, but some very stock small V8s.

[ri702bill 8,320]

Ok..... still modifieds - that is a good thing..!
