oliver2-44 9,848 #1 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) This weekend was the first time I've been to this show. It's about 4 hours from me in NE Texas, kind of heading @pacer direction. Not a real big show, but a bunch of tractors I haven't seen at other shows. There were a few tempting items for sale, but came home with just my C160 that I took. This D160 sold for $300 before I got there. it was missing a few small thing, the new buyer saaid the tranny seemed weak, but the Onan ran good. Nice Yanmar diesel Install on a C Series, @Achto but I think he easily could have avoided cutting the hood. This is the 1st Gemco Big Boy I've seen. It was for sale, but to steep $ for me! These 3 were owned by the same guy, neat stuff! !st Earthmaster I've run across, has a flathead 4 cylinder. I wonder if it was a WWII Jeep engine. 1st Shaw DuAll R8 I've seen, interesting clutch. This Doodlebug was really well built and was definitely my favorite. Ford Fireman's Special Farmall electric conversion @SylvanLakeWH, but it didn't have a Black Hood. It had 6 large 12V batteries in the original engine compartment.. Looking through the louvers it looked like the electric motor was installed in the clutch bell housing area. He drove it around intermittently, but plugged it in to charge a lot too! I had to get a picture of this one for @ebinmaine 1st Mighty Mite I've seen This tractor was owned by a guy from Wisconsin that travels all over the US with several Sears Handyman tractors. has a poster that says he owns 19 of them.

Achto 27,747 #7 Posted April 12, 2022 Looks like a very nice show.

I've talked with this guy a few times at shows. This is the load that he brings to shows in our area, he does not unload them though. Just parks the trailer & displays them that way. In the back ground I see the rest of his trailer load. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He brings the Sears display to Asheville NC every October too. He has a GE Electric on the trailer too, looks the same as the electric with a different hood and fender pan. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we’ll see you there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,174 #12 Posted April 12, 2022 Yeah, @groundhog47 and I went to a couple at Canton but were really disappointed with the VERY little garden tractors - one visit, wasnt a single horse there, and maybe only 4-5 other GT's. And. while I like all tractors, its a 2 hour drive to see the same things over that I/we just wernt that enthused with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
