Mark, The show is the weekend after the 4th of July.  Location is the Ashland County JVS on ohio rt 60, south of Ashland or about 2 miles north of the 60/30 interchange at Hayesville, ohio.


Where are u located in Wayne county.  I Coached and taught for years in Wayne County.


The show is not huge, but excellent.   Be sure to take either the tractor or horse pulled wagons thru the Byers Wildlife area.  I think the show starts on Thurs, and thru Saturday.

Dad put his name on a list for a tractor in 1944.  He was tired of following smelly horse ....!  That was WW2 and restricted steel for anything non military.  He ordered an MM UTU and a Farmall M.  Both were almost 50 hp tractors.  The MM arrived in Apple Creek, Ohio in 1945.  Dad drove it home.   That tractor would have given a Silver King a real race.  The M arrived and became my uncles brand (when he came out of WW2.)   I was told that dad put the tractor in the shed and reverse and when he came home it was outside.  Mom didn t drive tractors!!!  Guess I have been driving tractors since in diapers.[??]  That is where I learned to trust that yellow tractor.  It did not have ac type seat, but u straddled a POWER LIFT.  Lots of brusised on shins and knees.  I still have parts and pieces of 3 UTU MM s and its on my bucket list to have that tractor running.   A local Yesteryears Tractor club will feature the MM line this summer At the Ashland County JVS in Ashland, Ohio.


I have several projects right now in the farm shop.  MM G 950 and a MM G1350.  Will get some pics if u don t mind a Full shop.
