Here are some photos from this am at the Owen County, Indiana Antique Tractor and Machinery Show held on the J.W. Jones horse stable grounds at Gosport, Indiana on State Road 67.

Not a lot of lawn tractors and no Wheel Horse's present but a great little show for a very small population Indiana county.

This Shaw Du-All was a very interesting tractor. If I remember my Michael Martino book on the Wheel Horse and the Pond family- I beleive the two Pond brothers that later moved to South Bend, began their tractor work at Shw tractor in Kansas. This is a 1940 model R8 and has some interesting features . It is about the same size as the Economy.
