[whc160 74]

Well the VGTS will be here in a couple of weeks.  It is May 11th in Sugarcreek ,OH 44681.

 

Can't wait to see some of you guys there again.  Hope to meet some new members there this year.

We are doing things a little different this year.  So I hope not to be as busy helping and get some more time to talk about  .

I will be sure to get lots of pics again this year Neil.  It is a very nice show and I glad to have a helping hand in it.  The show seems to get bigger and better each year.

Well I took the day off of work to help get the show ready.  Rained this afternoon and is still raining on and off.  The rain is going to clear out by 7 in the morning.  So should be another good show.  Already had guys show up from PA and MI late this afternoon.  I will be sure and get lots of pics.

I was at the show today, and if I didn't have the fever for wheel horse's before hand, it's on now, and big time! Whc160, was that your row of c-160's, one with a tiller on it? Loved them! Came home with a plow and a cultivator today. Would have loved to have spent the whole day there, but unfortunately had to be at work at 3. Seeing the parade lineup sealed the fate of my wheel horse fever. Next year, I'm taking the day off, and in the year between now and then, I'm going to attempt to restore my 310-8 dually, if not completely, just cleaned up with some fresh paint to look a bit more presentable, and bring it out. Was a great time I won't soon forget!

Glad you liked the show Dairyfarmer.  Yes that was my row of C-160's with the tiller.  I also had the 520-8 on one end and the 656 on the other.  I want to thank all of the members that came to the show.  It was cloudy and cool with a little rain but still had a great turn out.  The  showing was strong again this year.  We also had alot of nice Case tractors there.  I have pics and will get them posted as soon as they are unloaded.

Speedyleedy  's on the left and I liked how the guy on the right fabed up some front fenders.  I had been thinking of doing that myself.

 

   

 

   

Here is a nicely restored D-250.  The tractor was bougth new by the local doctor here in Sugarcreek and is was saved by the the current owner who restored it.

So was it Dr. Gerber's d-250?

Yes it was his.

[Wheelhorsedairyfarmer 13]

He was my doctor from when I was a baby until he retired. And my Charger 12 was bought from the farm where his son works. Talk about a small world!
