Great show . Lots of working tractors and equipment. Hope you have a golf cart or side x side utv . That place is huge . Been there twice and walked more than I ever have. They have some trams but if you want to get somewhere to see something at a certain time personal transport is the way to go. I will be in Utah spooking elk that weekend. Check out the Allis tent when you are there . ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

I usually drive over to the show. ---bout 35 miles from me. ---Really wanted to go this year to see my friends "homemade" tractor that was made back in the 60's. It is s'posed to be there this time and running again. It was made from 2 f-30 rear ends and has a 4-71 detroit motor on it. ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |

| The wife and I will be there with the Triple A club bunch in the A C tent along with the Indiana Partners and the Old Allis News. Everybody stop by and say Hi and take a break.This place is crazy big. Featuring 210 and 220s but bring anything AC and Randy will find a place to show it off. If anyone has any questions , PM me and I,ll see if I can help. |

| Do y’all recommend Kioti diesel side by side or electric lifted club car golf cart? I have access to both and what’s the chances I can find a spot to store it there at night? |
