Not quite Ford but fun anyhow
These photos are from an annual event at my friend's farm. I have posted in the past years about this. This event happens every year and hosts many truck, car and tractor clubs. There is music, food and the event is free. Lots of things to see. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing some of the pics.

Thanks for posting.
The Cummins diesel in the '55 Buick station wagon is unusual. |

Re: Not quite Ford but fun anyhow
The dual tractor conversion photo ....
Back when I was in college in the early 60's (in Colorado), I visited a farm in eastern Colorado where the farmer had built just such a unit. Two individual tractors where both had the front suspension removed and then a massive joint built to make the two into one. Hydraulics working from the steering to actually turn the front unit relative to the back for steering. The farmer (a BIG farm!) said he needed the extra power and traction for the ever larger utensils he needed to run the farm. Was quite impressive then! |

Re: Not quite Ford but fun anyhow
Thanks for sharing ! Some very neat machinery there! I do like the articulating double engine tractor! Ingenuity at its best right on the farm!

Re: Not quite Ford but fun anyhow
Those early military trucks from the teens and twenties are just about the rarest of the rare!

Re: Not quite Ford but fun anyhow
I'd like to know when and where this takes place. The tandem Minneapolis- Moline tractor setup belongs to my cousin and that rascal didn't tell me about the meet. I like the ingenuity involved in such a conversion. A local shop, in a small town in northeast Colorado, designed and built the connection between the two tractors.
