Show pictures; Apple Country Antique T&E Show

[953 nut 55,756]

The Western North Carolina Ag. Center is the venue for the best fall show in the region, I snapped a few shots as I drove around, enjoy.

My old "Survivor" 953 was my trustee steed of choice for the day, brought the fancy trailer too.

Case, Copar Panzer and Colts were enjoying the sunshine.

This one was "Green with Envy" when it saw a Wheel horse coming up.

This old Sears was a bit hard to get a good shot of due to the sun, but it was rustier than mine so I figured I better include it.

How about a GE Electric, don't see one of them every day.

Had a few good looking Allis Chalmers too.

This JD with matching honey wagon was too cool, the belt pulley even worked!


Had a few other RED tractors too.

This nice looking RJ was looking for a new home.

This nice Suburban was at the same vendor's site.

This freshly painted GT-14 was abandoned in the fleas, couldn't find the owner to get price info.

How about a full race Ford 8N?

Here is a horse with an attitude, love it!

Great Gibson.

Freshly built Speedex

This Bantam hardly ever stopped moving, the boy driving it was about 9 or 10 and proud as could be.

Couple of Panzer Projects.

This line up of Cub Originals were all race ready.

They were worth a second look.

How about a garden tractor powered run about.

Sweet little 605, very well done.

Love this little hay baler


This fellow seems to have more sponsors than a NASCAR racer.

I will close with a real "Jim Dandy", hope you enjoyed the show.

Great pictures Dick. Looks like it was a perfect day. But I was hoping to see a picture of you getting some seat time on that 953. After all you've been through with the back surgery, it would be nice to see that there is a glimmer of hope for those of us with the same future ahead of us. [emoji3]

Bob, I not only got some seat time, I have also been spending a lot of time in the wood work shop and this morning I put on my own socks, all by myself! May not sound like much to a lot of people but it has taken me four months since the back surgery to get that amount of flexibility.    I will be attending the Western NC  Meet and Greet tomorrow and will make a point of having someone take my picture "getting Seat Time".

Awesome pics!   Speaking of seat time, I need to find a seat cover exactly like the one on that 605. Any ideas? I have the metal pan.

Thanks for the photos. Looks live a very nice day for a tractor show.
I really like the little hay baler and the "mini' farm tractors.

[stevasaurus 22,859]

Thanks Richard...you found a few things that I have never seen before.  The GE tractor was one of those.  The mini hay baler...now that is special...do you think that it is home made??  It looks like a great show...thanks for sharing.     BTW, I still can't put on my socks...been years now.

Awesome pics , I just loved the panzer & the mini baler oh and the gt14
thanks for sharing

   The mini hay baler...now that is special...do you think that it is home made??   

Yes, it was definitely home made and was functional, he used dimensions from an old stationary baler and downsized it. They were selling the miniature bails for $3.00 each and a few people were buying them for autumn decorations.

Those are some tiny bales, LOL. 

 

I have seen tiny bales and giant bales now. I was driving by a farm here and the bales were about 6' x 4' x 3', which is about 3 times as big (or more) than the bales I lifted as a kid.
