Tractor show picture

[Lumbersawyer]

Went to the tractor show in Blackberry Mn today. I have not run my tractors for two years because of a shoulder injury last year. So, I had the wife help me pull my GP out of the shed on Friday afternoon. I added a couple gallons of fresh gas and it fired right up. I rebuilt this in 2017 from a stuck non running unit. It ran perfectly so I decided to drive it the two miles to the show grounds. As anyone that knows the old GP John Deere‘s are not very fast. It took 45 minutes to drive two miles. Today it ran flawlessly.

Nice! If I lived there I would have drove with you. I just did two parades myself. Nothing better than driving and showing tractors.

We don’t get a lot of tractors, less than 100. The club owns three steam traction engines, two large Fairbanks Morse diesel stationary engines, a six cylinder and a four cylinder. Both have a 14" bore. Several large single cylinder stationary diesel engines and steam engines. A nice saw mill, shingle mill, planer, barrel making shop, black smith shop, threshing machines, printing press, and overall nice show grounds. As with many clubs they need new members to keep things going. Many of our older members have passed on. It is a nice show with lots of stuff to see.

We should come to that show sometime, Bemidji isn't that far away. I don't see anything about it on the members map, you should put it on.
