As you may have noted, Ken Krochel, a member of Chapter 9 and professional tractor restorer, was there.
The initial photos were taken on Thursday before the show started.
This is a typical Saturday night on TV. Mostly garbage or uninteresting stuff. Posting photos is much more rewarding. I hope for you too.
From my new home that faces the Rocky Mountains, I had an absolutely beautiful sunset over the mountains tonight. I wish I could have shared it with all of you. Unfortunately, I have found from experience that my camera just does not capture the beauty that the human eye can see.
That was a nicely restored tractor, wasn't it?
Let us continue on with the voyerism of the interesting tractors on vacation at Longmont, Colorado!
When I say "on vacation", I was referring to the tractors, not me. Notice how they enjoy basking in the sun. And doing nothing!
That Cletrac is a cute little fellow! I met the owner who is a friend of a friend. Let me not confuse you. The first 3 photos are of an HG Cletrac. The next photo starts the photos for today. That 4th photo is one of a Cletrac belonging to a Cat collector, Jeff Burnham. That is Jeff pictured next to his tractor. Thanks Jeff for allowing me to take the photo of a very attractive Cletrac and of you too!
The fellow in the first photo is Bob Bergstrom, one of our chapter members, standing next to his restored Thirty. Bob generously brought a number of tractors to display. The Twenty-Two that is for sale is currently owned by Ken Krochel of Longmont, an active member in the chapter and all-around good guy.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
