Another year of shows

Recommended Posts

The RJ58 w/cbr32 and the 41’ model B Speedex were the big hits this year that got all the attention. 
this is the Big Show 25th anniversary 58’ that I won at the Raffle. I brag that it’s on thousands of Tshirts and Hoodies, lol. It’s in good hands and well taken care of.
it is such a joy to talk with so many people that relate stories of how they or a Grandpa had a WH or Speedex or how they ran one as a teenager. And they enjoy hearing me tell the story about the Pond brothers and history that they never knew.

Yeah, that would make an excellent tractor to show at engine shows. Nice to see that RJ tractor went to an avid collector and RS member. (Someone that can actually appreciate what it is.) I'm usually packing up during the raffle on Saturdays so I only know of a couple of winners over the many years I've been going there.

The very first BS i went to,@stevasaurus came driving up with a the biggest hugest smile on his face. Think it was Steve's first show as well and he won the raffle tractor. I can't remember the year that was.

 

Are those Speedex 6hp engines a Briggs ZZ engine?  Looks very similar to a ZZ i have that's 1945 military generator engine.

Thank You, I am very particular and passionate about my collection and study the history of them to share with others. I was very surprised both times when my number was called, I don’t normally win anything. I also won this C85 in ‘21 with the snow blower. I was buying tickets just because there isn’t a admission or parking fee. 
Yes, the ZZ is 6hp on the’41 B.

 The Z/ZZ model was a very popular engine for the Military.

No the Speedex belongs to a good older friend who has 4-5 Speedex that he has restored to pristine condition. I do have a S14, S17, S18, S24 WT2 and the B. But none as sharp as his.
