I just (maybe 30 min ago) tried posting some pix from Tulare. They apparently ended up in the 'bit bucket' as they're still missing. I'll try again. I didn't take too many but here is what I have.

The first two Are MikeMc and his new family (at least from what I read). The next three are in the Tulare Ag Museum. RD7 9G259W. In the museum are Nikkle Iron Works 1917 Holt 75 and several other early Holt and Best machines. (Along with numerous other brands!).

The latter four pix are of (I believe) Doug from Porterville teaching someone (and I suppose his boy) how to start the 60 and the students then left to cruse the grounds.

This is the same 60 MikeMc uses to cruse. He and his significant other 'drug main' a good part of Sat followed by a boy on Mike's D4. The three of them are shown in the previous post.

GarlicPete loading for the trip home.

I met him and Willie today. I saw Tractor Don again after meeting him here several years ago and being able to attend one of his BBQs a year and a half ago. Willie pointed out a several other ACMOC/ACME BB members but I didn't manage to meet them.

Fifteen with a tumblebug and a Fageol tractor on a Fageol truck (factory was in San Jose, CA I believe).

Added a JD cruising before the very short and wet SUN parade and a small stamp mill run by a hit and miss engine (it was 'operating' (without rock as some of the operating parts were not present)) but the flat belts wouldn't stay on when wet!

Now that I've somewhat learned to post I find I've ran out of room. I do believe there are pix in my 'area' that were in my 'lost' post that are duplicated here. Now to learn how to 'clean up' my 'area'!

Cleaned up my 'area' and have room for more misc pix.

The Cletrac exhaust sure looks like it's a diesel.

The Fairbanks is owned by the Lancaster branch of EDG&TA. It was on a local water well during the alfalfa growing haydays.

The Fabco/Tuxham hot head 30hp pumped water for a few years in northeast CA for a lumber co railroad.

Daron,

Many thanks for posting the pix. I was wondering if any were going to be posted today. I really felt bad to have missed this year, but job and finances got in the way collectively. :mad:

Well I'll be taking in Spring Fling in Kansas in a few weeks. ;)

Fill in some blanks Tractor Don.:D
Please.

daron,

Thanks for sharing the photos. That is a shame it rained on Sunday. It's a tough deal when you put a lot of time and work into hosting a show and then have the weather not cooperate. Looks like lots of unique pieces were there.

Daron, thanks for the pictures of me and my new family:) . Yes as I cruised Doug's Sixty around Tyler 13 fallowed me on my D4. So every thing worked out good. She had fun shopping and we had fun on the Cat's.

Garlic Pete, after seeing your picture, I did see you running around the show grounds. Actually we were camping pretty close to you and your family. Just a stone throw north west from you.

Unfortunately it rained Sunday but Saturday was a beautiful day. All was good:D Looking forward to next year.
