[AT] Multiple Show Photos

[Grant Weir]

Hi Steve,

   Fantastic photos as usual - thanks for sharing them!   That 25HP F & J at 
Baraboo sure is a neato engine.   I think that pretty much any engine that 
is 25HP and is still hopper-cooled is very cool. :-)

   The Will County Threshermen's Association show in Mokena sure look like a 
fine event.  I sure would love to see a Linn half-track truck up close.   
"They" say that some of these were used in northern Saskatchewan back in the 
day so I've got my eyes open for one for sure.  That restored Pioneer 30-60 
is really awesome too.  We have one at our local museum but it has not run 
in years and just sits there looking depressed.   Yes, actually, it  does 
look depressed just sitting there.  The Big Four that sits next to it looks 
positively lugubrious!   :-)  I would really love to see either one run 
again someday.  (sigh...)

    Anyway...  the picture that REALLY caught my eye was also from the Will 
County show.  At the end of the set of pictures is a shot of a Massey-Harris 
"Pulverator" plow.  I've been searching for one of these plows for five 
years and would be very happy if you would be able to point me in the 
direction of the owner or someone who might know him/her.   The only place I 
have ever seen one of these is from a picture in a MH catalog showing a 
Wallis tractor pulling it.  I actually had kind of given up looking as I 
figured that maybe it was just a promo picture of an obscure prototype, but 
now that I've seen a picture my interest is renewed!

    Again, great pictures Steve and thanks for going to the trouble of 
posting them for us to see.  Talk to you later!
