Thanks Jim... Like Jim said when you find Mentone you'll see signs directing you to the swap meet off of St Rd 19 and 25

Brian it would be great to see you there... :thumbs:

I'm going to try to be there, price of gas and 2.5 hour drive with a full 18' trailer sucks at $3.50 a gal. was a good time last year, just needs to be warmer, this year.

[Dresden Guy 24]

Can anyone attend or is it by invitation?

Sounds like a great event!

[Kelly 1,029]

Open to all, even all brands

This is a very nice event . I attended last fall and I wwant to be there the 16th of April. Lots of good folks to visit with also!!

Here are some pictures from last Fall at Menton-in fact I think the checkered flag canopy is Gene Simpsons (Haasman) :

Yes that was my little spot at the show & swap... But the last couple years for the spring swap meet there has been a great turn out of people and parts... I'm hoping this year it's even better... But like Kelly said with gas prices where there at it could be tough... You know Kelly if you bring a load of parts down I'm good for $ buying stuff from you... Let's hope for the oil prices to go back down very soon!!!

I should be their again this spring. Maybe its time to list the items everyone is bringing or looking for.....

That makes sense to me. Here's a thought - Maybe a group of RS members should pay to lease a 48' flat bed/tractor trailer for people like Kelly to bring a load of his stuff!

[buckeye 5]

I dont think a 48' trailer would be big enough for Kelly's collection :thumbs:

[zieg72 209]

What is there a cost to sell your stuff?

[Jim_M 178]

No cost, just pick a spot to park and have fun.

Hey Gene I'll be there with a couple of tractors and some parts to get rid of,

I'm also looking for a belt guard for a 1276 tractor, hope someone has one to

sell.

See you then

Wingrider

[Kelly 1,029]

Pay my neighbors fuel and we can fill a 54' flatbed.

What are the tractors you will be bringing Wingrider? I'll see if I can find a belt guard in my pile to bring if I have one...

[wingrider 21]

Gene I've got a Commando 800 and a 1277, and a 876 just not sure which 2 I'll

bring, plus assorted parts. I'm also still looking for a broom for the front, another

mid mount blade, and a 48" plow, I'll quit there because my list is way bigger than my billfold!!!

Thanks Wingrider

[Gene_S 93]

77 flyers out in the mail today!

[refracman 167]

I also plan on attending but will consult my Astroligist and Numbers person to see if it'll be safe for travel

The show was fun but the ride back wasn't

Just never can be to careful ya know!

[Kelly 1,029]

Steve you guys need to wear helmets this year.

[wheelhorse656 20]

Looks like a nice show but its a 3 hour drive each way <_

[zieg72 209]

I may be looking for a deck to go under my 417 if I don't sell it before the swap.
