I got five of the ten Olivers cleaned up and took them to town yesterday for the Sheridan Springfest Car and Tractor Show. Pretty decent turnout for an afternoon event. I took both 500s,the Super 55,66 and 1550. There were a LOT of cars.
There were several club members camped out at the neighbor's right up the road. We had a potluck supper in his shop after the show. Good big turnout for that too. We're having another one tonight after the tractor drive with an auction after supper to raise money for the fund to send cards and flowers to members who are under the weather.
It sure was a cluster situation getting all five tractors home after the show yesterday. The boys helped me drive them down and we did it in two trips. The show was supposed to go until 6pm,so I told them to be back there at 5:30 to start bringing them home. It was hotter than all get out so they decided to call it quits at 5. They told us that at about 4:45,so I headed home on the 1550. The wife was parked at the other end of Main Street at our son's house and had left ten minutes or so before they decided to end early.
I got home and she wasn't here. Great. After ten minutes or so,she came home on the back of a Massey Harris. She had given me the keys to her car and we both forgot. So,back to town with my pickup. One of the boys was there waiting,so we brought two more home. We got behind some slow tractors and it took forever and a day to get home. We went back and got the last ones,then I had to take him home and get the wife's car. When I got home,the other boy was here waiting,but,too late now. On the bright side,we had the sloppy joes,so they didn't eat without us,but Jill called while we were carrying things out the door and wanted to know where the food was.
Oh well,if things went smooth,nobody would have any good stories. LOL

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
