[AT] Tractor pulling in Sask

[Ralph Goff]

Hi Grant
Thanks for the link to your albums. I am still looking through them. as it 
is pretty slow on dial up. The AR John Deere is just like mine. Those little 
tractors really get down and pull. They are low to begin with and as the 
tires flex they get even closer to the ground.
That beer tent location shows somebody put a lot of planning into the event. 
:-)
Here is a link to an album of pics that a friend took at the Moose Jaw 
Sukanen museum recently when they held the Chapter 38 IHC red power show. 
Lots of IH trucks and equipment to see there.

> About 40 tractors showed up this year and the weather was great.
> Anyway, check out the pics if you want.  Enjoy!
