Here's about 20 pics I snapped yesterday. First time up to Pontiac, and first time I've been to a GOTO in probably 10-15 years, so it was a good time! First off, the big dogs:       Then some more rows of tractors:     Then some other odds and ends:           Interesting WD engine with a "repaired" block behind the carb, it looks like. Just happened to catch my eye.  My small haul from the event:  |

Looks like a great show. When I win the lotto I will have a D21. I have no need or use for a D21, but I will have one.

Didn't see a regular WC maintainer I don't think. But not sure I made it thru all the rows. I also snagged a pic of a D19 hi-crop (I assume?) by the feature tent.  So many tractors, so little time... And so little shed space!

| That first picture was just like seeing the new iron at the fair or the equipment shows. The big AC sign in the back added the finshing touch. |

Thanks everybody, glad you like the pics! No problem cwhit, 'tis a nice crawler; it nice to meet you -- and nice to meet you too, Pat! Hmmm... I am sure there were B, C, and CAs at the show, but I never got any pics of 'em. I probably missed a few rows of tractors in my wanderings. Too much to look at. I didn't even make it over to look at the non-AC sections! However, I see I did snag some Gs:

Great pictures of what must be a fantastic show. If I hadn't gone to Hutch, maybe I would have made it to Ill. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Yes I enjoyed the pictures! Us Allis guys should really get together and decide once and for all where the WD and WD45 decals go!:) Just kidding they all look great! That little M crawler caught my eye! Its really nice. What is that WC High crop with the catchers mask on the grill! Very unique too! Your time to take and post the pictures for us folks that couldnt be there is much appreciated!

No WC Speed Maintainers at the show. Fred rumor has it that you have resigned from our Speed Maintainer club! ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

Not sure I've ever seen a speed maintainer but it was neat to see a speed patrol. Believe it or not, I found a few more decent pics that I just uploaded. Enjoy!!        And a blurry one, sadly.  I wish I could have made Hutch. Looks like GOTO is there in 2021? May
have to make that a future travel plan. Looks like there's one in
Wisconsin next year.
