2026 Gasconade County Threshers Reunion Show, Rosebud, Mo

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,889]

This was the annual show in Rosebud, Missouri.  This year it was held Friday, July 17, Saturday July 18, and today.  I went yesterday.  It was hot, mid 90s with a heat index hovering around 105-110.  I only took a few pictures, but there were quite a few tractors there.  I loved that International B160 truck.

I helped my grandfather thresh one time, I carried grain away in burlap sacks, wow what a meal after, was worth the work!

Don't often see those Keck Gonnerman steam tractors. Looks like a great show.

What fuel do these tractors use?

Either wood or coal.

Most had only a single cylinder, but they also made some that had 2 cylinder engines.

@T-Mo   AWESOMNESS ! earlier era anything  is a rare treat ! was thinking  at  how a  lubrication spray  or  brush down would  enhance / recover a patina finish . last photo  4 WD J/D  CAB TRACTOR ,  would be a perfect  unit to  refresh . would not be surprised if a  kerosene rub down , would not  really enhance / refresh that unit . very easy to  try a spot , sun warm / hot  , thoroughly  moisten finish spot , let soak in for  hours / days . then clean oil cloth  rub down , if it  enhances color  , you have trapped / saved that stage of  finish . no scratch pads or paint removal , on a visible / apparent  paint save , have used a 6" electric palm buffer , cleaner  wax.  deep  solid color recovery . first thing I do  on any  thing I pick up  , is get the soak on  working . makes the rest easy .
