[Farmall] Portland , IN 2005 - Friday Lunch

[Jgrudt at aol.com]

Dalton is about 12 miles SE of Fergus Falls, MN  - very small  town of about 
150 - 200 people.  (Our farm is by Melby, MN which has a  population of about 
30)  
Sept 9,10,11th -- the big tractor parade is Saturday on the grounds after  
the parade in town so the steam tractors with their steel wheels are in  it.  
You'll definitely see F-12s, F-20's on steel.  Seeing 50 old  Farmalls there 
isn't unusual.  Includes lots of antiques, flea market  geared towards the 
featured IH tractors. Previous recent years were Rumley,  Cockshott, Moline, 
Fordson, etc.  I'll be there this weekend and try to get  more info and anything web 
- based.  Another similar one is in Rollagg, MN  but I don't know any details.
