For the fans of old tractors

I'm pretty sure out near my old residence in Fombell, PA, they had steam tractor shows...maybe the land just outside Zelienople, Harmony, is where the yearly tractor show was. Not sure. I'm pretty sure they had steam shows every year.

The Rumely Oil Pull that I pictured was featured at many of the shows your area. My friend lives in Meadville. Finally the cost of moving it from Meadville to the other shows in Western Pa. got to be to much. It can only be moved with a Semi on a low-boy trailer. He still shows it, but at the local Gas & Steam Engine Society shows. The keep it there year round.
 
Midwest Old Threshers Reunion, Mt Pleasant Iowa, every Labor Day weekend. One of the best shows around. Working steam tractors, threshing machines, balers, corn shellers. Steam, gas, and horse powered machines. Steam locomotive circling grounds. Hundreds of antique and classic tractors.
 
I agree with this thread needs pictures. My 1949 Ford 8N - it’s literally bulletproof. Fresh gas and a battery charge and it is ready to go.

I learned how to drive on a Ford tractor that looked identical to that when I was 10. Helped me when I bought my first car, which was a stick shift. Jumped in and drove off. Today, a stick shift is almost an anti-theft device.
 
For almost 20 years, there has been a Mackinaw Bridge, Mackinaw City MI, antique tractor crossing. Last year 1500 tractors were in the convoy. Never saw a bigger gathering of old tractors anywhere! Video is from a 2012 crossing and I think it had just under 1,000 that year. Tractor lovers dream!
