Below are some pics of the tractor show I am in charge of.  Our local Lions club puts it on the 1st weekend in Aug.  Just happens that this year I am also pres of the lions club.  Its my 3rd term as pres.  Any questions fell free to ask. Also will be updating our website and hopefully get a video up once I figure out how to download the video from my camcorder, its one of those HDD recorders.  We had over 300 tractors again this year.   http://www.stoystownlions.org

The earliest records dates the Buffalo Steam Roller to around 1924,but this has to be confirmed.

You are welcome.  I think everyone had a good time.  I dont get to really enjoy it but it makes me happy that everyone else has fun.  I try to do all I can to ensure our visitors all have a good time.  I am just now starting to have my energy back, it just really drains me.  Anyhow,  the third pic is of tractors doing a squaredance routine.   Since they only have 1 female driver, some of the guys put on wigs and dresses to make up the couples.  They really draw the crowds.  I was up on a scissor lift taking pics.   It really looks neat from up above.

The photo of the red Farmalls is nice.
I love the pure honesty of an old tractor. Form always follows function. A tractor is beautiful if it can do what it is asked.

I agree,  The thing I like best is that they were designed so the average farmer could work on them with everyday tools.  Unlike many things today that have to be taken back to the dealer to be fixed.
