Ed Kennell 39,429 #1 Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Thursday, Sept 28,2017 Pretty much a set up day. Locally made tractors were featured. Quite a collection of Sheppard Diesels .... Made in Hanover, Pa. The Druck Family sets up their new TOY. Chain saw collection. This is what happens when you have a tractor that needs an engine and hit n miss that needs wheels.....Built by this 83 year old youngster. A couple wicked fords. First youngster to ride the Crazy Horse. I had a few red ones there and saved plenty of room for Erics herd of 30 coming tonight. Oops, gotta go, Mrs K just pulled in with her "stretch" to take me out for for dinner. Edited September 29, 2017 by Ed Kennell 11 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 39,429 #6 Posted September 28, 2017 Yeah Craig, it is a cool build. Check that Wheel Horse style drive belt and tensioning pulley. She could use solid front tires.....when the HnM fires, she bounces about two inches. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 39,429 #8 Posted September 29, 2017 BTW, PennDot is paving Manor Road from Windsor Road past the show grounds. Traffic is one way around the paving crew. Expect some delays. Hopefully they will not be working on Saturday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to be there today ? I just got home from the show and saw your post Robbie. Yes, as you know, I was there today and I really enjoyed meeting and talking with you and your family. I will be there tomorrow for a short time to load the rest of the tractors. 11 hours ago, squonk said: I'm diggin that Diamond T and I'd love to hear the Detroit "Buzzin Dozen" ! That is the wildest beast I ever heard Mike. Maybe I can get him to light it up tomorrow for a short video. Saturday, Sept 30,2017 Eric and a Roadapple showed up and we filled the Horse pasture. The OAT eaters had a pull also. Edited October 1, 2017 by Ed Kennell 5 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
