Symco Thresheree 2013
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2013 4:28 am
The Symco Thresheree officially started today, I already have more pics than I can post and the tractors are still rolling in.
Pat
A Waterloo Boy, the predecessor to the John Deer.
A nice pair of Cockshutts, the second one having the Gambles brand.
Uncle Vic purchased this Rumely Oil Pull last weekend, the Nickels and Sheppard traction engine belongs to him and the boys as well.
This is Harold Bessette running one of the saw mills with his traction engine.
Symco has one of the nicest setups anywhere for the saw mills, two units and a shingle mill all under one roof and a catwalk so the public can see everything running from up above.
Two steam engines here, Vic and the boys got the one on the left running just a year or two ago, it’s a Vilter unit running a refrigeration pump, the engine on the right with the big belt runs a generator, this one has a tight cylinder but they hope to have it loose yet this summer.
The club has one of, if not the biggest collection of Fairbanks Morris stationary engines, from the single cylinder up to the six cylinder.
Marc and I ran both of the Countys, the Selene, and the 54 over there.
Had to put up with a couple of cloud bursts but no one was complaining, we haven’t had much rain the last month.

You need a little rain to wash the dust off sometimes.
