Owls Head transportation museum Truck and Tractor Show. Annual event. We've gone for several years in a row. It's possible I'm going to take my Patriot horse up there this year.

 

By rights it's a two-day event. Saturday is the Bigger Show.

This year is July 21st, July 22nd.

well alrighty then i'll try to plan for it.......thank you

You're welcome.

 

I'd love to see your 953 in person and I can tell you from experience that the Transportation Museum is trying to push a little to get more tractors there. They have an amazing showing of trucks.

 

The other two events this Summer that I'm tossing around trying to get to.

Maine Antique Power Association in late June. Skowhegan Area.

 

Ossipee Valley Fair down here in my town of South Hiram. I think that's the week before Owls Head....

That 953 “Big Wheel” is a real beauty!  That tire combo looks vaguely familiar and I love it!  You have done a great job, can’t wait to see some pics or video of you playing on it.
