The Portland, In swap meet

[bell 11]

Well, at the last minute...... My plans fell through. I AM GOING!!!!!

(Actually, my wife is making me go... )

I'll be there today only, so if you don't see me there, (and want to ) give me a shout! (if you have my number, that is...)

Sorry, I'm not used to being up this early.... Feeling a little silly. :hide:

I'll be there starting Friday Morning, trailer is loaded with C160 and 516H tractors, 42" and 48" dozer blade, and some other misc parts....

My dad is also meeting me there mid-day on Friday and he will have a C145 tractor, some tires and wheels, and other misc parts....

Not sure where I am going to setup yet but I have a tan dodge truck with a Lance truck camper on it pulling a black trailer....

If any of you guys see a belt guard for a 855 with the 855 decal on it I need one. I want to find an original cover to put on my tractor and keep it unrestored. I'll pay a finders fee!!!

I'm going to be there early sat morning, but only with few things already sold, I'm going as a buyer.

Attended the Portland, IN Tri-State Engine Sale and Swap meet on Saturday May 21, 2011.

The sales items were really thinned out by 3:30 on Saturday. Looks like lots of folks left on Friday evening and early Saturday thru the end of Saturday.

I heard there were a pretty good bunch of buyers and lookers on Friday but not much on Saturday. My brother David and I spoke to two or three guys that just pulled in on Satuday around noon.

I was kind of disappointed as this had not been the experience I had at Portland in any of the previous three years swap meets held in May. It did not rain until late in the afternoon on the way home even though they were predictign rain.

Chuck McColley was the only Red Square member I got to see and speak with. Bought a few things from Chuck. Chuck makes a nice set of replacement lock handles for the rear Wheel Horse snowplow/dozer hitch if anyone is looking for some.

I took a few pictures and since Steve asked I will post them.

Ride King Mower

Nice D-200 Automatic

This photo shows how sparse the buyers were along one vendors route

Some old Ford lawn tractors

There wer quite a few nice Deeres for BIG MONEY for sale

This was on the way in Converse on Indiana State Road 18 -an old Wheel Horse dealer shop
