Show time in Franklin NC

[953 nut 55,753]

Our local Antique Tractor and engine show took place today and we had a good variety of tractors, hit and miss engines and interesting stuff. I didn't get too many pictures due to a lightning storm that sent everyone packing early, but here is what I did get during my lunch brake.

Thanks for the photos. Must been a lot cooler than Richmond was today.

Love that adult tricycle with what I assume is Maytag washer engine, and a right angle gear drive, joined up to the original final drive of the trike.

Very innovative!

That clutch engagement arrangement is unique as well.

I would prefer a padded seat on that stamped piece of steel, if it were mine.

That would be interesting to take for a spin.

Thanks for sharing.Love all of the photos.I am always a fan of the JD 2 cylinder crawlers.Tired rails but fresh pins and bushings.JD 350 bottom rollers with a model 62 3 way manual blade.

Hardest tractor to get right! They eat themselves up every time they move.

  I've only twice failed to get home with a Land Rover under it's own power. Once when I drowned the engine in 4ft of water and once when the head gasket went on the 90 with Isuzu 2.8td.

  Run a Td5 Discovery now.

The registration tent where I was working was about 300 feet from the Cotton Gin, but while it was running the fine fibers were making it all the way to our tent. The six HP hit and miss that was running it sounded fantastic under a load.
