Great photos Norm, the C-81 certainly looks good with the sickle! Well done on getting second, my cub also came second at our local show last saturday

Thank you @Stormin for the photos.

The photo with a woman and child in a red trailer. The comment about a "bird".....what does that mean?

[jellyghost 378]

This is a great post!  What are those tracked machines called?  What were they for?

[Stormin 9,981]

Bird is slang for an attractive girl/woman. Pulling a bird means picking one up.

 

The crawlers are Ransomes. Horticultural tractors. They can be fitted with all types of implements.

One picture with the gentleman  wearing braces (suspenders) and a belt...Old saying over here...Never argue with a man who wears a belt and suspenders.

Thanks Paul. That's me with the suspenders / braces.  Never been called a gentleman before.   Usually something less complimentary or unprintable.

@chris sutton Thanks so much for the photos. That is some beautiful countryside. @Alan R. Is that the mini D you were building ?  Who is digging the potatoes ?

Thanks for sharing those pictures! It's funny, you have some different equipment over there, but you are doing the same thing at shows as we are

Yes Jim.  That's my little D  Half a Horse.  Not finished yet but pushed, threatened and had my arm twisted by Mr Sutton to enter it into the shows.  Build log still progressing. More soon.
