> Engine and tractor fans,
> Last fall I posted pictures from a small first year event held at Mike
> Burn's place. It was a fairly private affair, but it was so successful
> Mike has asked me to post invitations on the SEL, Harry's, and the
> tractor lists inviting all those interested in IHC engines and
tractors
> to attend.
> This is NOT a show you bring anything to. You simply come and observe
> his machinery at work. It'll be the easiest engine and tractor show
you
> ever attend! At this point Mike cannot accommodate additional displays
> due to limited field space. Be assured he has plenty to see and watch.
> You can even join in the fun/work if the mood strikes you.
>
> Mike has a significant collection of Mogul and Titan tractors and this
> year will be running his newest completion, a big 45 Titan, a 2
cylinder
> beast.
> I believe he also has s/n 1 Titan tractor, a friction drive. You'll
also
> see many large Mogul and Titan/Famous portable engines. There is a IHC
> antique car with the flat air cooled 2 cylinder engine under the
> floorboard. There are several non-Pareil engines and water hopper
> verticals too. There is no shortage of goodies to see!
>
> Mike and his helpers (you) will be threshing with a E-B thresher and
> baling hay with an IHC baler. The thresher is driven with one of the
> Titan tractors.
> The event will be held the Saturday on the weekend between Cotton
> Ginning Days and the Arden show. This is Saturday the 16th starting
> between 9 and 10 a.m. until......
> I believe this is an event you will want to attend and will be well
> worth even a significant drive. Here is a link for a few pictures I
took
> last year to give you a taste of what to expect.
