People in parking lots at the stores looking at them. Many people at the show. Trina was an absolute hit! When I told the people looking at the tractors who was the one who did much of the work, they were all that much more impressed. It doesn’t surprise me that your tractors turned a lot of heads while you had them out and about. You guys have done a great job resurrecting them and yet we all know that you still work them regularly. Trina deserves all the praise that people give for the hard work that she has put in on both those machines. It is so cool that you can share this interest together and on this weekend combine it with camping and a multi purpose show! That first Cub Cadet is interesting...it was the first of the QuietLine Cubs (closed engine compartment). That looks to be a 1450 if I zoom in on my phone. It has hydraulic lift but also the optional front hydraulic ports for a tilt blade. I find it kinda funny that it is shown with a mower deck and a plow. That would be kinda like wearing a tux with a pair of red wing work boots! Just cause it fits, doesn’t mean that it looks right Nice little horse—looks a lot like Caleb’s 854! I really like that little Farmall Cub. I got some seat time on Dan’s a couple of years ago—those are COOL little tractors. Thanks for the great pics...I can’t wait to see what else you took when you get back to a stronger cell signal! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,261 #29 Posted July 21, 2019 Here's Trina's contribution to the thread... note the tractor hood under the shop rag/cover? I'm about 75" to the top of my hat... How's this for a tall hood? 5 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,081 #34 Posted July 22, 2019 Awesome pics, Eric and Trina! EB, you’re a big man to holler at those thugs how BBT did most the work! I love to build Mrs. Pullstart up on her talents, like how she can out fish me all day long, or how she taught me how to shoot bow and arrow, or how she maintained her own race cars between school, work and the track in the years before we met. She ran hobby stock on dirt and also V8 enduros... 2 hours or 200 laps, whatever came first! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know the saying around here, “if there are no pictures—it didn’t happen!” I gotta see a pic of this (either pm or post). Variety is the spice of life for sure. Did you guys have any special vehicles at your wedding (race cars, big trucks, vintage machines, ATV’s, etc?). We had a whole lineup of motorcycles at ours... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,081 #37 Posted July 22, 2019 This is a thread about tractor shows... here’s a teaser to prove it happened @PeacemakerJack! That’s also the last time I was clean shaven, that I recall! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many times in this modern society we either don't share what actually happened or some people even steal the credit for themselves. I think that's just absolute crap and a defect in personality when people do that. Trina is the kind of person that would never ask for credit but does appreciate it when she gets it. She's incredibly talented and does more physical work than I do on all of these builds. She deserves the credit. I'm glad you give credit where it is due, as well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,261 #39 Posted July 22, 2019 Here's a video of a dump truck that Trina took. Zoom in on it and you'll see that there's a large winch at the back of the cab. It's a cable operated dumping mechanism. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to tell the year of a lot of heavy trucks from the mid-30s up until the 50s. I think that one is actually earlier in that range. I don't remember looking to see what it was. That thing was absolutely fascinating to watch. You should throw you and yours in a car next year and come on up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know when you go. I'll be in Woodstock in November and my parents live in western Mass anyways. Maybe we could meet up somewhere down there..... I think that dump truck in the video had previous ties to your railway in Boothbay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
