whfan74 2,064 #1 Posted March 11, 2015 Traveled over to the Auburn Auction Park in Auburn, IN last night to get our display set up for the show this coming weekend March 13-15. There is already a great turn out of machines and the folks have until Thursday night to get their stuff under the roof. I am set up this year with a small club that I am part of known as the Northern Indiana Garden Tractor Club, where we will have over 40 machines together. The show hours are as follows: Friday 9-6 Saturday 9-5 Sunday 9-3 Parking is free but admission is $7 or $10 for a 3 day pass. They have food available on site, big tractors, little tractors, old farm trucks, old farm tools, farm toys for sale, craft area, and much more. I believe your paid admission will also get you in the automobile museums across the highway. I will be on site Saturday and Sunday so please stop by and say hello. My display is set up at the table with chairs. I would love to meet you. This picture shows the 1965 Jacobsen Chief 800 that I purchased last fall from Clyde Potts in Wooster, Ohio. They asked me if it could be displayed on the main stage next to my good friend Billy Orr's beautiful 753. Here is a photo of the C-120 that the tractor club is working on thanks to David Rice, Crawfordsville, IN. It is the tractor located on the right of the photo. Here are a few photos of my tractors, along with some from our club. We have a great turn out so far and can't wait to see what the place looks like once the show begins. If you are getting a little cabin fever and excited for the show season, stop on by and check out what is going on! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really looking forward to this one! Can't wait to see what is on site when I arrive Saturday morning. Craig.....that Commando was the first machine that dad and I tackled together to bring out to the PA show as the featured model. That is a special one in our collection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
