The show at LaPorte did bring out some proto type machines like I was hoping. Heres a few tillage pieces. They were interesting, on the back they had an hour meter that would run when the machine was moving, kindof like a self winding watch. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/088_zps1c9fb128.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Chisel plow http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/087_zps5aaddf0c.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  This one was my favorite. This is a prototype to the front unloading manure spreader. There are some well known pictures where they had tried a self loading mechanism on the back of this unit. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/046_zps5df173d4.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  This a great example of what a factory prototype looks like, refined, well constructed, looks as if it were a mass produced item. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/044_zps6e4b2710.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/045_zps91c64331.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  The spinners were even quite different than the production 110 had. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/047_zps815590cf.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Notice where the self loader drive was. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/049_zps8f47ab8d.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  It even had different wheel hubs. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/048_zps8b196036.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  These were on display at the museum. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/107_zps56b54840.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/106_zps4d980f9e.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/107_zps56b54840.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> Heres a device they built to cut Rotobales. I wonder why that never went into production? lol Notice the pulleys on the machine are the same used on All-Crops. Also, the clutch for the conveyor is the disconnect clutch for the elevator on the corn pickers. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/110_zps8923ebd9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  I just loved this shot. http://s44.photobucket.com/user/jimacman/media/2014%20GOTO%20LaPorte/108_zpsf15151ca.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Jim ------------- An open eye is much more observant than an open mouth |

Great Jim, I never did get over to the Heritage Center when they were open :( I talked to Obed about the disc and chisel and asked him about the disc main frame being cut and bolted back together. He said that AC shipped that disc all over the country and he guessed that they broke it down so it would not be over width on the truck. Great shots of the manure spreader. It was the first of those front unloaders I had ever seen and I did not realize that it was a prototype and not a production machine. Either it was not marked very well or I was in too big a hurry to read the sign :( Did you get any shots of the camel back combine? I was told that was a prototype too. |

Im not sure exactly how wide the disc and chisel plow were. As for the spreader, it did not have a tag on it as to tell who owned it or that it was the prototype. I just knew it when I saw it. The production 110s had 3 beaters and wood floor and sides as well as much larger wheels. The museum has numerous test pictures of the earlier and later prototype models including a rear unload spreader that had a bolt on hitch that gave it a 5th wheel type steering. This unit was ground driven. There were rumors that this spreader is being donated to the museum. Several people told me that but none could confirm it. As far as the camel back, I could not find if it was a prototype or a production one. It was an early one as it had the raddle tailings return at one time.

Pat, I heard on the loud speaker Friday they announced over 600+ pieces of equipment and tractors total. Someone said Saturday there were over 700 pieces, and was talking to Dave Clausen of OAN saying he thought it was the best turnout yet for Orange beating the OH GOTO a couple years back..

Darrel in nd has two of them manure spreaders pretty cool units he showed me both of em said they only made around 1500 so for him to have two is pretty impressive. Funny how suff like that didn't catch on when it came out but here we are with everything being PTO powered today oh well too ahead of the times I guess ------------- 1951 WD 1945 C 1936 WC |

I have a couple Knight Slinger spreader, one I bought new in the mid 90's, as usual, AC was just too far ahead of the times!

Thanks for posting those Randy. I didn't have any pictures of it at the show. Creston, you should see Gilbert Vust's camel back. It has the shaker return on it. He was lucky enough to get it with the combine and he put it back on and got it running again. Here is a link to the video from this show. Its a great video and the cover is the best part! lol http://www.ruralroutevideos.com/videos/the-gathering-of-the-orange/the-gathering-of-the-orange/" rel="nofollow - Gathering of the Orange Manitoba ------------- An open eye is much more observant than an open mouth |

Lol! Yes, I need to see that! We have a camel back at the farm that used to have a shaker return, but was taken off and a patch installed.

Nice Pics
Brings back a lot of memories. Has the two row mounted picker on our 45 for years. Also when my dad left the dealership back to the farm we had the front unloading spreader. Ya they were ahead of their times. Look at the popularity of the slinger spreaders |
