Rollag, MN used to have a huge steam threshing show every year. They had tractors larger than this running threshing machines, pulling plows, etc. It was one very impressive sight to see.

Does anyone know if this steam threshing show still exists?

Very nice job on the rebuild.

There is one in Sycamore, IL. I used to go as a kid.

These things always amaze me, I couldn't imagine the work that must go into one of these restorations. A guy down the street from me has a couple in need of restoration sitting out in the field. I have always wanted to stop to check them out.

It is a very interesting place to visit. As a tractor enthusiast though, even the '41 Farmall-A I used to have would be considered "new-fangled" there...

This tractor weighs 15 tons...and is only 15 hp...I think Jay Leno Said...Imagine operating this...

That's a very cool tractor. I would love to have it. But I could never afford it. :)
