St Mary's show, Bear Creek
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 12:50 am
We had our show At St Mary’s today, we only had 19 tractors, but actually not a bad turnout for our first attempt. And even with only 19 tractors we had several unique ones there.
Pat
My Countys, and several Alice Chalmers belonging to my step father and two of his nephews. In the mix was a WD-45, one of only about 100 left of the original 2400 made, a D-17 that my step father bought new in 1964, and the 1966 prototype for the 180’s, having serial number1001.
A neighbors 9000
Uncle Kennys 9600, on the far end is my brother inlaw’s Oliver77 with factory threepoint, and still used on the farm.
My cousins (leaning against the front wheel) 1929 Alice Chalmers, this thing is original and unrestord, and most all of the pinstriping and decals are still visible. It also happens to be green, from what I understand the first few years of production where green and was undistinguishable from most any other tractors in the field, so Alice Chalmers decided to paint them orange to get them to stick out in a crowd and the orange stuck till the end.
