AJ's Garden Tractor Jamboree 2018

It was a great day and I know we got some pictures coming.  It was excellent spending the day with TerryM, DClark, Shynon, Prondzy, SmokinJoe, Jorden, WHX14, Achto and JoeBob.  I got this picture for here and I took a few for the Wheel Horse Gallery.

 I think this may have been a McLean 3 wheel, but I'm not sure. If any one else has any ideas I'd like to hear them.

This was my first time at AJ's, There was a good turn out with some variety. I like to look for tractors that are not real common when I go to shows so I will start with those pics.

 

There was also some great looking customs. The Allis WD & this Oliver 88 were extremely well done,

 

Not sure what the thinking was behind this Minneapolis Moline labeled Bolens but it was kind of interesting.

 

Some nice collections lined up.

 

 

Some fast action shots of the slow race. This is a race that should be split into a gear jammer & a hydro  class in my opinion. Jim & I were speed demons with our 6 speed 's in low 1, even after turning the idle down until the engine barley ran.

 

Jim grabbing a little seat time on my Raider.

 

It was great to see friends & to meet some new friends. I think Jim @WHX17 got a pick of some of the gang from RS. Hopefully we can make the trip again next year.

Yes I did get somewhat of a group pic. Will get some up at the office tommorow. Got a plowing vid too for @PeacemakerJack !

Mike @prondzy tweaked my idle down a little too much and I tried to run the race by bumping the starter! Next year I am going to pull the spark plug and try and crawl on starter alone!

Couple of things I though were cool

This old Kohler genny

 

 

Some other cool  that were there

A Lennox Kitty Track

Kinda a group pic ... left to right @Achto, my wife Cindy, @stevasaurus Terry's girl, @dclarke, & @Terry M   MIA is  @Shynon & @prondzy I never did get some shots of our line ups!

 

The plowing.... Not a lot of ground to turn but made the best of it. He had two plots one small but large enough to plow garden  and one rather narrow but quite long. I'm gonna try the vid without you tube so let me know if it views. After the plowing guys with tillers had at it and darn near ready to plant. Tom brought a 12 incher for Dan to try and no problems but very hastily set up. If you snoozed on the plow field you weren't gonna get a crack at it there were that many guys there with plows. Now I know why Tom & Mike didn't, bring their plow rigs...about the time you got into it it was over!

Almost forgot to thank our host. Property, buildings and displays he has are awesome and you cannot have a better setting for an event like this. Weather was a bit cool and damp in the AM but turned beautiful in the PM.

Back of Steve's truck is always a good place to "Hang out"

Steve it looked like it was a great show for you and others. Nice line up of tractors. Some you do not see much of any more.
