I took several pictures however the battery must have been low as none were saved. Going to take what money I made and buy a new camera. Was on my feet all day talking to everyone so I will sleep well tonight and hope to get up in time to go back to get my trailer tomorrow. My best estimate would be around 25 vendors or so plus myself as a one-timer, (more work than I care for!) Good number of buyers, and Michael was a great host as I would have been a nervous wreck. Having never been to Hutch or La Sueur, I got to meet a few of the guys from up North. Good thing Mike didn't bring his balloon, March winds would have been a bit much but I'm guessing he already new that. Good time, already looking forward to next year and bigger and better things. ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |

| For once I came home with nothing on the trailer,except for the 3 pt. adaptor I took with me! I sold everything else and met a lot of folks that I hadn't seen for quite some time. Also made some new friends. Thanks to AJ,Gary Rutherford,Matt (MN),Bill Deppe,Don Bradley,Steve Z.,Tom Bowles,Bobby Holt,Clifford Miller and Farmboycitygirl for the purchases that they made. Finally,a HUGE THANKS to Michael Crowe for putting the swap meet together for everyone! It takes a lot of work to put one of these together and you did a GREAT first time job! Rick |

Didn't buy any thing but a good time. Met some new people, saw some old friends.
Would have been better with swet running down my back than (swet) running out of my nose from that cold west wind.lol
Thanks to Michel for a good show. MACK Eugene McNeely Jameson, Mo

| I went and had fun looking. Seen some stuff that I still don't know what it was. Seemed like by the time I got there everyone was cold and holed up to much to talk. Wish I had seen a drawbar for my b but thats the way it goes. If theres one next year im sure i will go i enjoyed it. Still kicking myself for not buying a plow from mike thanks for putting on the meet mike |

Well the 1st annual missouri all AC swap meet is history. We had 25 vendors and i am not sure how many buyers/lookers/visitors we had but the day seemed to fly by and it seemed i was always talking to a new face so i think there was a pretty good number of people who came out. It would be hard to guess though. Thank you to everyone who attended, without you there is no show. From all I talked to I think the consensus was it turned out well enough to do it again and the 2nd annual will be advertised in the major publications. There will be more information in the next few months. Thanks again to all who took the time to make the show a success. Michael ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025. See the club website for details: http://www.moacclub.com/ |

I was abit late, but I got an ammeter for my 45D I needed and sold a couple of small items I had no use for. And my son and I got a personal tour. Boy, Mickael has a lot of toys I could use. By the way, who was the Gent that gave me the Ammeter?
Thanks Harold
PS; Next year I'll be there early the first day of the sale!

I had an awesome time. Glad I got to meet a lot of other collectors and put faces to names. I was able to bring home most of what I need to restore my C I have been working on. Thanks Rick for bringing the weights I needed. Got some extra thick and extra heavy rear wheel centers for my c thanks to Gary not giving in to my stubborness. Haha. Thanks Gary. I will see you soon. I also picked up a new battery box from Bill, thanks Bill. Got a new under the hood muffler that has been hell to find at a decent price, and pick up a little Allis C 1/16 scale tractor for my four year old son. BIG thanks to Michael for hosting. It was alot of fun!!! I'm going to sell coats and hats next year. Haha. Anyways hope to see everyone again next year. Aj ------------- Can't fix stupid |
