Memorial Day Parades

Recommended Posts

whfan74

Every Memorial Day we roll out some tractors, meet up with some friends, and drive through two local parades. We had amazing weather and a great line up for both parades.

One of my students in the tractor club, Thomas, came out to drive my 701 in the morning parade. I hooked up the 4 wheeled wagon and he pulled my kids through the parade so they could throw candy.

Here he is all ready to roll.....

My good friend Lewie Bolinger showed up with his new "rat rod" today. This is the first time we have seen it. It got a ton of looks today! So cool! It has a shortened frame, weed eater engine, lever steering, hand throttle, etc......

The morning parade was very nice in the small town of Leesburg, IN. Here are some shots of us getting prepared. Thomas controlled the 701 as I navigated the infamous "Drags-tor"

After a quick lunch at a local burger joint we unloaded in Syracuse, IN for our afternoon parade. Dad drove the 1045 with the 4 wheel wagon in tow. My daughter Addison is having some carb issues with the "Lady Ranger" so she took the 701 with LTD 24 trailer through the parade route. My son Zach hopped on his 500 Special and made it to the start of the parade and then it died :(. Not sure what the issue is but I am assuming the carb and probably fouled out plug. I felt horrible for the little guy. Had to push that thing about a half mile back to the trailer while he was on it.

Here we are hanging out in the shade ready to roll.

Finally here is a picture of a good friend, **** McNeal who encouraged me to get in the hobby a long time ago. He is sitting on his beautiful GT-14.

Watched the Memorial Day Parade in Beech Creek, PA today. Cub Cadet, JD, Massy and Case, (Ingersol-Rand), were represented. No Wheelhorses for an area that has a lot of them in use.
