c-series don 8,813 #1 Posted July 4, 2020 Due to the virus our local officials canceled what supposed to be our 100th 4 of July parade here in Southampton,Long Island,NY The oldest English settlement in the state 1640! The numbers here for the virus are the lowest they have been since early March. At the last minute locals got together and said screw that it’s America’s birthday and we are having a parade! We usually have one of the largest parades in the state drawing thousands of people either as spectators or in the parade itself. I remember going as a child and have been going with my volunteer fire department for well over thirty years. Today I drove our 1958 FWD this truck was still in service when I joined, back when we rode on the tailboard to go to a fire. We had around two hundred cars,trucks, and tractors. Obviously I couldn’t take pictures of them all but I took as many as I could. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures! Happy birthday and God bless America! 5 10 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,813 #10 Posted July 5, 2020 The guy driving the Farmall 1206 is a good friend of mine. He has around 40 meticulously restored Farmalls and IH’s and a beautiful farm. He asked me if I would drive one in next years parade, of course I said YES! I’ve been driving fire trucks in the parade for many years but never drove a tractor in it so I’m already looking forward to that. He said that he wants to get enough trustworthy people to take all of his tractors in next years parade and then drive them back to the farm, put them in a big circle and have a BBQ in the middle! I think I’m going to ask him if I can load up a few of my Wheel Horses on a trailer and tow it in the parade. I’m sure he will say yes because he’s well aware of my Wheel Horse addiction! My son in law offered up his smoker for the BBQ and of course offered to drive a tractor! Here’s his smoker and a couple of my tractors. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
