Achto 28,060 #5 Posted September 18, 2017 This was a fun little show, & it was great to hang out with @Rp.wh and his boys. Rare tractors can even be found at a small show like this. I know that a lot of us rib on John Deere's but I still appreciate rare ones. This is an experimental model M, most of the 23 built were destroyed after testing. This one is a restored survivor. Some day I would like to own one of these Roof Palomino's. While the DeVere Lock was built in Racine WI, they are not found too often in our area. A Bantam tractor is also on my wish list. I was able to take this model 8000 for a joy ride. Very cool little tractor. I have never seen or heard of the Pigeon scooter. An old water pump used by fire fighters at one time. A big high light of the show for me was spending some time on this Port Huron Steam engine. An operators view while running the thresher. Had a great time & enjoyed hanging out with some friends. 7 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that it was yet another version of the "Doodle Bug" ( model T or model A Ford car turned into a tractor ) It was a rather unique set up with a mounted plow. Here are a couple more pics of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is a "Fromall" , it has parts from all sorts of stuff! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,599 #15 Posted September 19, 2017 Thas what I thought at first glance Dick.... some sort of homemade affair or rat rod! Cool nonetheless. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rp.wh 1,103 #16 Posted September 19, 2017 It was a doodle bug verison from what they said i watched it go threw the parade. Guy is part of the tractor club that put it on. He traveled all the way to Nebraska to get it it didnt run when he found it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
