Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful week. Here in Maine it's over 100 degrees this week! Yikes, too hot for us.

Who is showing their tractors in a parade this weekend? Or soon this summer?

Post photos of your Parade Set ups! Would love to see how this community is sharing the legacy of antique tractors.

I remember taking my kids when they were younger, and they loved seeing big old tractors in parades. It's part of what led me to this career working with Yesterday's Tractors.

I look forward to seeing everyone's set up.
 
1926 Farmall. Runs like a top. Referred to as the "Regular Farmall" after the Farmall 20 came out in1932.

2026 Memorial Day parade in Afton NY was a bit chilly.

Chilly doesn't look to be a problem for the upcoming parades on the 4th of July, and the week after.
 
Our town celebration was actually a couple weeks ago on Father's Day weekend. As part of that, I organize a display of antique tractors and trucks. We had 17 tractors there and 4 trucks. 6 of the tractors were mine, plus 3 of the trucks.

We had 8 tractors in the parade, two of which were mine. I led the pack with my '41 John Deere B. Right behind me was my '52 A. 55 50 Ron was driving that. with one of his daughters riding shotgun.

I also had 3 Minneapolis Molines on display, plus another John Deere A.

Not a 4th of July parade but every now and then we pull Grandpa's MM G144 combine with a MM ZA in its original skin with a bunch of Grandpa's descendants ........... We alway throw Peanut M&Ms in the yellow pack of course
EDIT; Just noticed that there is a bunch of people behind the combine with posters that say "DUSTY" LOL

I kind of started feeling like a hoe'er in church when I realized I had three British built tractors in the 4th of July parade. I guess nobody else realized it because we didn't get shot.
They've been Americanized with Oliver paint and decals. .....just like most of our ancestors have been Americanized over the last 250 years.
 
Hey Randy-do you ever go to shows in Ohio, or just your local Michigan shows? Mark.
I've been to a few down there. We went to one in Eaton one time. Stopped at another one near some little town on the north side of US30, just west of Van Wert. We took one of the 500s to LaGrange Indiana a few years ago when there was a gathering of the 500s and 600s.
