There was considerably more tractors there, these are just the ones my mom was able to get on her camera.  The 190 and the Ford 960 are ours, and are used on the farm.  The Ford gets the most use (bushoggin, blading, plowing).  They had a really nice show this year, just to darn hot.  I was even able to take the A2 Gleaner out, although I was drenched in sweat by the time I got it the 2 miles to town!

Thanks for sharing the pics!!!!

I love seeing your 190, but what a treat to see the W-6 and Super M.

I suppose I should mention that this is in Oblong, Illinois on the second weekend of August.  Anyone is welcome to bring tractors, equipment, combines, engines, etc.  The club has a very nice setup of old hit and miss engines running various items.  They have a huge engine that runs old oil wells off of rods (powerhouse style).

Here are a few videos from past shows.

Just a side note.  The John Deere B (unstyled) in the last picture is one of my last restorations (second to last to be specific).  Hadn't noticed it in the picture before tonight.
