Re: Labor Day
Looking good @Eugen!
I always find it's the fiddly stuff that makes you wonder where the hours (or day) has gone - working and working, not realizing just how much time has flown by because I'm concentrating so hard. Certainly feels good when it's all done though

Re: Labor Day
Milton Steam Era... Gosh it was hot and humid today - Tractors were spread out over a large field, with not much shade in sight. We didn't stay too long, was starting to melt and that's never a good thing.
Half dozen Steam engines all lined up,
Displays of belt driven sawmills, and threshing
Lots of vintage AG tractors,
and even a few garden tractors
an interesting wander through some old tractors - Really appreciated the AC in the truck on the way home though

Re: Labor Day
@RoamingGnome Looks like it was a pretty good show. Too bad it was so hot. I really like seeing the steam engines work. They have that distinct sound and smell that’s like nothing else!
I spend part of the day getting stuff together to start 2nd cut hay. But it was really hot here too. Hopefully I’ll be cutting tomorrow!

Re: Labor Day
Took a short drive to the Central States Threshermen's Reunion in Pontiac IL on Sunday afternoon, this year they were hosting the Case Heritage Expo. Met up with my 2nd cousin Gary Zilm from Custer Park, IL and his cousin Don Zilm from Owatonna, MN whom I had never met. Don is quite an interesting guy and has around 125 Case tractors in his collection.
This show is huge! The second longest running steam power show in the US, you could spend several days there and not see everything, here is a link:

I've attached several pictures for your enjoyment, hopefully I am not too inept to have them show up.

Re: Labor Day
Must be a great show to visit. I bet if you had a 220 to ride around you could see it all! Great pictures, thank you!

Re: Labor Day
To give you an idea of the size, one Case collector (Zachary Farms from Ottawa, IL) brought 15 semi loads of equipment.

Re: Labor Day
Thanks for posting the pics Bob. The show looks like it was terrific. I went to a show in WNY last year that I thought was huge. This show must have been the show of shows to attend. Fifteen tractor trailer loads from one collector, amazing. Harry
