Please see the post on the BSOT link above at the top of the discussion section.

Please tune in to the Classic Tractors program on RFDTV tonight to view the preview to the Best Show on Tracks. See the post in the show link for more info.

I caught most of the Best of Show on RFD. It was very good to see all the old iron with plenty of history added. All the speakers were very articulate. I got a real kick out of one hand starting an engine by rotating the flywheel with his foot- great touch. I even heard ACMOC mentioned. What fun. Better than a week of regular television.

Doug,
Without seeing the program, I am going to make an assumption that the tractor that was being started by foot, was most likely a Rumley Oil Pull, which is sop on those big tractors. The single cylinder ones are 900ci

Soapy-

It was, I believe, a Best 60. He filled the priming cup(s) and just used his foot on the flywheel (on top of the bar holes) rotating it a little at a time. When the mag retard clicked it took off!

Thanks to Tom Madden and Willie et all (I'm guessing the Petaluma crew) for the great show!!!

Daron (Whose RD-7 was picked up this evening by Garlic Pete and his crew (his two daughters and brother in law))

Soapy, the tractor started by foot was a Best 75.

It will be repeated on Sunday evening on RFDTV. Look for the Classic Tractor show I believe @ 6 PST.

Off to Woodland in few more minutes for our weekly show meeting.

Tom, I was able to watch the show also. It was great! Thanks for letting us know about it.

Hi Tom, I missed the show, but I will try again on Sunday. Is that the show that was tapped in Feb. at the Wallace Ranch? If so, I was there helping and met you in the afternoon. I can't seem to able to be able to download the registration form for the Dinner. If you could just put me down for it, that would be great. As I told Wllie, I will be there on wed. to help you guys with whatever you need. Joe Giraud:)

Well I just watched it and was great and yes Joe it was what we shot the day you were cranking your butt off. Now I guess I'm gonna have to get your autograph along with Frank,Wally and Bill

Hi Willie, I had a ton of fun up there helping you guys out. As I stated on my earlier post, put me down for the dinner on Sat. My computer locks up when I try to download the registration form. PM me if you will be home tonight, I'll give you a buzz if you will. Need to get my Dodge WC12 Pick up ready for our Calif. Dodge Power Wagon Rally in Hollister this coming weekend. Take Care. Joe:D
