2006 Show

Many thanks to all who attended this year's show!  We had beautiful weather and a good time was had by all.  We featured Robinson steam engines and equipment, crawler tractors (anything on tracks), and saw rig gas engines.  Enjoy the following highlights from our show.  Click on the images to be taken to full-size view.

    This is the Robinson Threshing Rig owned by the Porter family of Rushville, Indiana, and is the world's only known complete Robinson rig in operating condition - our steam feature.

    Here is the featured crawler owned by Gene Pock of Zionsville, Indiana.  It is a 1917 Holt 10 ton, built as an artillery tractor during WWI.

    Another featured item at this year's show is this 2-man Mall chainsaw owned by William Ploeger of Enochsburg, Indiana.

Crawlers:

Some really nice restorations and a workout for one

Steam:

Atzinger ladies cleaning flues, Porter's threshing (parts 1 & 2), and the 2006 line-up

Tractors:

An AC flanked by IH

Saw Rigs & Engines:

Beckom's cut-off saw, Terry Montgomery at his old-time scroll saw, and a couple of beauties

Just for Fun:

The big tug on the little Baker, ready to pounce on coins in the straw, youngsters on the crosscut saw, and guy talk

Miscellaneous:

An exquisite cider press, the groundhog thresher after a feeding, a primo JD planter, making brooms, and pork rinds anyone?

Take another look:

Baker fan work in silhouette, a view from the engineer's platform, threshing chute against against a cloudless sky, two studies in contrast and iron

Crosscut saw waiting on two able bodies, circles arranged linearly, details in style and craftsmanship, our memorial flowerbed

Happy trails -
