stevasaurus 22,231 #4 Posted February 11, 2010 Rick...LeSueur, Minn. south eastern part of the state. You thinking about coming up? It is about 20 miles north of Mankato, Minn. This is a good sized show. You can check the show thread and pictures from last year. You would not be disappointed, but it is a show...not a swap meet.

stevasaurus 22,231 #8 Posted February 11, 2010 Sorry...you guys are right...the swap meet in April is huge and worth it from what I heard. The tractor show in August is just that...a tractor show, and huge also. I apologise for any confusion on my part. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 586 #11 Posted February 11, 2010 We will forgive you Steve, after all, YOU just survived an earthquake. Sorry , I should have said LeSeur, Mn. I have never been to the swap meet either but, I know the pioneer power show is a good one. I work with a guy that is one of the blacksmiths there. He told me they are trying to get more old construction equipment and old lawn and garden equipment also, along with the old ag stuff. They just keep getting bigger. Anyway, Randy I will talk to you before that. Hopefully, I can meet some of you guys there . gotta go , ma's home gotta go do something now Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 586 #15 Posted February 12, 2010 Jason, I know right where you are, I used to haul grain from Kasson and Sargent elevators. I am about 50 or so miles north of you in Farmington. I have family in Rochester and Oronoco. Being that close, I imagine you know where Tilly's is /was on 52? . Anyway, we will be at the meet in april so we will maybe see you guys down there.

mikewilliams68 0 #16 Posted March 14, 2010 I decided to go to Portland Indiana swap meet this year instead of Lesuer but Lesuer is a great swap meet. But hope to see you at the fall show!

Operator 7 #17 Posted March 14, 2010 Mike did you get any good stuff? Details! Got to get your post count up. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydogg 186 #18 Posted March 27, 2010 I reserved a hotel room in Le Center Minnesota about 7 or so miles from the show so I will be there for all three days weather permitting, I was just gonna crash out in the truck but the family wanted to go with and its gonna be a little cold to sleep in a tent so I needed a hotel. This will be my first time at a show like this I used to be a classic car guy so I would go to Iola Wisconsin for the 4 day car parts swap meet that was also huge and a lot of walking it took 2 days just to get through the swappers, Le Sueur sounds about the same from the people I have talked to I hope to add some more round hood tractors to my collection.

tbbahner 27 #19 Posted March 29, 2010 The wife and I are planning a little trip up to LeSuere in April for the swap. Hope it works out. Was at the show last year with the Ferguson club I'm in. The swap meet sounded like it might be interesting. Will everyone be flying a red flag or something?? Maybe we all need to meet by the beer pavillion .

CasualObserver 3,406 #21 Posted April 26, 2010 I went, found a few goodies. Was mostly perfect weather on Friday... little dry, dusty and windy, but the rain held off until about 5:30. Anyone else manage to make it out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Operator 7 #22 Posted April 27, 2010 I normally have fridays off, but I just went back to work and had to work friday, and had prior plans for sat. I heard there wasn't much Horse stuff though. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnWHfan 47 #23 Posted April 27, 2010 I was out there on Friday morning. There was a lot of stuff there, but not very much Wheel Horse equipment. I did run into Lowell from the NCWHE club and he was selling some stuff. Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydogg 186 #24 Posted April 28, 2010 I was there Friday. Didn't see much Wheel Horse stuff but I still managed to fill up the snowmobile trailer and the back of the SUV. I would post pics but I am having trouble with photobucket the upload keeps failing I will probably go to the fall show and bring my 653. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydogg 186 #25 Posted April 29, 2010 Well I figured out my photobucket so I am able to upload my pictures from LeSeur. The orange rider that my son is sitting on is a Simplicity 515 I purchased for parts to repair my grandfathers 525 which I inherited when he passed away. Also in the picture is a auto starter that I picked up in St. Peter, this has a 12hp kohler. This is a kohler k90 with an unusual pull starter. Its supposed to run but I haven't messed with it yet. I also picked up 2 kohler twin motors, the 19hp is complete and supposed to run and the 18hp is in pieces due to scored cylinder walls. The Big Mow in the backround was picked up in Mankato on the way to she swap meet. There is also some misc parts on my other trailer, I had to go pick up another horse and some other parts so I cleared off the sled trailer. These are the generators for the starting unit, they almost look like starter generators for garden tractors. There is three for different power levels (12,24,36). All in all I had a lot of fun at the swap meet I just wish there was more Wheel Horse stuff and less wind :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
