We really enjoyed the Root River Antique Power show in July.
But I guess it was our last rodeo…
My husband said that he’s getting to the point where the loading/unloading of our Farmall Regular and Little Genius plow is just getting to be a lot of work. I don’t blame him – it is A LOT of winching. He doesn’t want to buy an electric winch because we’d only use it for 1 or 2 shows per year, so we can’t really justify the expense.
On one hand, it makes me sad. We’ve been going to shows or parades for over 30 years. : (
On the bright side of things, we plan to take our grandkids along for one show-day next year (they will be 3 & 4 years old next summer). We will solely focus on whatever they enjoy: riding the little train, the petting zoo, treats from the general store, etc.
I guess it all boils down to that old adage: “When one door closes, another one opens.” We've been blessed with a lot of fun at shows over the years.
Here’s a few pics of our tractor, plow, and us. (I’ll post more show pics sometime - there was some neat stuff there… but will probably be awhile as I need to sort through hundreds of them).
Our rusty, old Regular – lined up in a sea of red. (IH was featured this year.)
A sign my husband asked me make to put on the draw bar of our Regular.
A shot of my husband in his "last" tractor parade. (Daughter and I rode through the parade on Friday... we just watched on Sunday so I could get pics of him on the ol' girl.)
A shot of the Ol' Ogre and the Ol’ Hippie that he hangs out with, by their tractor and plow - she's his "first wife"... as John T always likes to say. :) So we'll keep on keepin' on... just in a different way. Life's been a great ride!

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard.
