Re: My Son\'s Christmas Tractor

I haven't made it to Moline but hope to swing by if I head out to the Michigan show this year. Roger Welsch has a couple good books out and anyone that reads them can relate to his story. I can not remember how many 720 HC were made but is was only a few and even fewer lp versions.

Re: My Son\'s Christmas Tractor

The NY show was around 200 miles from me, the michigan show will be a little farther but hopfully worth the trip from what I hear. We do have quite a few tractor shows around here in the smaller farming areas and two years ago the South Dayton show had the Massey Harris Collectors at their show bringing hundreds of MH from all over the US. The brothers are not related to me it is just how they are refered to, you say the brothers and everyone knows who you are talking about. They will help anyone who stops by their house and have no secrets. I have learned a lot from them and hopefully will learn more as I see them at the shows. The south dayton show has tractor pulls for 3 days with the last day being the heaviest tractors, all classics as the tractors have to be older then 1965 to show there. The last day is the day I enjoy that is when the Minny's, Oliver 99's, JD 730 & 830, Farmall M's and Allis WD- 45 show up to pull. It is a wonderful sound to hear all those diesels idling as they wait to pull. Later.

They have not updated their website yet but should very soon, go to <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.two-cylinder.com/index.htm>http://www.two-cylinder.com/index.htm</A> and you can contact them about the upcoming show. If you have any other questions I will check my magazine and see what info they have.
