Last Saturday my Dad, mom and myself left at 4:00 in the morning for the almost 4 hour drive from central Michigan to Plymouth, Ohio, where the yearly Silver King tractor show is held. Along with the show, this year was the 200th anniversary of the founding of this small town, a very nice town with friendly people and also the origin of the Silver King tractor. We saw the factory where the SK tractors were built, unfortunately it is now privately owned and is now falling into dilapidated and disrepaired buildings, and were just viewed from the streets they are next to. We attended the Silver Kings of Yesteryear club meeting and breakfast, of which my dad and I are both members, and after that, we went to the small swap meet that was held. I met some very nice people, and a couple that had helped me out finding the hard to find SK parts. There were some very nice tractors there, about 30ish, and club members from 10 states at the club meeting. The tractor show/meeting blended well with the town's anniversary. While there we visited the town's museum which had some very interesting pieces of history as well. They even had an original wooden mold used to make the mold to cast the final drive housing on a Silver King 4 wheel tractor. Very interesting, and had a very good time, thanks to all who helped arrange it and the good souls I met and visited with while there!
