Antique Tractor Show

[EddieWalker]

I went to an Antique Truck and Tractor show on Saturday in Henderson, TX to meet TBN Member JESSE1 and see his White Truck.

And then I wondered around, looking at all the different tractors. It was really impressive. What I liked the most was just how unique and different they were.

They even had a saw mill that ran off a tractor that they started up and cut some logs into lumber!!!! That was very cool to see.

Then there was this seat that I saw and thought might be a fun thing to have. I don't know if I'll ever build one, but then again....

I'm looking and saying to myself, Where is the White truck? All I'm seeing is a red and green truck. :confused2: Then I went to the other thread! Wow! What a cool story.

I wonder if my local NAPA parts store would carry that loooooooong belt for the tractor operated saw mill?

Thanks for posting! Very interesting.

Eddie, you've lost some weight. Good for you!

Edit: I see MarkV beat me to the red/white punch.

Eddie, you took some good pictures. I enjoyed our visit. Since the rain held off attendence was very good. The weather was starting to look bad so I loaded up and headed home about 3 PM.

If anyone gets a chance to visit an antique tractor show in your area, do it. You'll really enjoy seeing some fine machinery from years past. All ages of people enjoy seeing the equipment.

That old pickup looks like a prop form the Beverally Hillbillies.

Eddie, that looks like lots of fun. Was it held at an airport? I thought I saw one picture with an airplane wing and a tip-tank.

Jesse1, your truck sure shows lots of work. Nice job!

That's a 1917 Reo. The engine was completely shot when the owner got the truck. He installed a Perkins diesel engine which is hooked up to a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic motor is coupled to the input shaft of the trans. So basically it has hydrostatic drive with a three speed manual trans. It'll run about 10mph.

The show was at the Rusk County Youth Expo Center. The Rusk County airport is right beside it. We watch light planes take off and land all day. I think that airplane on display is an F-84. I'll have to look it up to be sure.

Good thread Eddie. We have one of these in June around here. Maybe I'll get some pics of it and post them. Usually, they will have a lot of tractors and a few threshing machines and a baler. I'm pretty sure they have trucks entered in theirs as well. This one is at one of our larger feed stores around here and they promote it as an annual farming event.

Eddie,
Cool pics.

Next trip out this way, you should drop by the tractor/truck museum in Woodland. They have a really nice collection. Thier collection of tractors especially, gets in to the really old ones.

The picture of the kid sitting at the wheel of a tractor is priceless. Classic photo right there.

Thanks for posting those up.
