Rollag pics

[jd2cyl1943]

This years Rollag was my best ever. It was also the my hottest ever with temps in the mid-nineties. I got to ride the Russell tractor through the parade and even drove it a bit. I also got to stand in the biggest operating steam shovel in the world. I got a ride on a Rumley Oilpull, and help put away the Biewer's tractors for the year. I met up with Don Dufner and got a part from him. I saw some old friends and made a couple of new ones: Dan Brown and the Biewer family. I ran into some family including my great-great uncle who gave me my tractor.

Andrew looks like you had a very good time and I'm glad that you finally got to meet Don. Maybe now you'll get the urge to go see
him at his place. Tom in Mn

Thanks for posting! That must have taken awhile. It looks like the operator could have lived in that Marion Shovel and just went home on the weekends.

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. A person
just can't take enough time to document all
the stuff. My phone is almost full.
Need to get pictures dumped, too.
Thanks again. GG Wes
