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.

I have done that too, never won anything but appreciate the WHCC and want to show my appreciation for the show they put on for all of us.

Plus everyone should buy shirts or hats too. I've even paid for camping too although we always stay in a hotel. Thought it was a nice gesture. But I highly advise NOT doing that!!!!  Maybe she thinks we're camping but not paying since I paid before but IDK what it is. ???

I have an S17 that I'd like to see go to a good home. It's a cool little unit, but I don't have the time for it, and it isn't super useful as it can't do anything my WHs can't also do and it has no deck. I do have a plow that came with it.
