I put together a video of the Chapter 3 work area at the Nowthen, MN show from last weekend where we expanded the show grounds a little as part of the working display.

Hey Sasquatch,

Nice video... good to see some younger people into the old Cats...for some reason, I think Jan might comment on OldIronHabit's Grader Tires...:fencing:

I was able to make it up to the show for the first time. Great day to be out looking at old iron.

Best part was when my pony motor started right up with Toby filming. Later when there was a crowd it balked and the ten year old 6 volt battery croaked. Going to order a new 8 volt for it. It was cool to hear the steam sawmill cutting away in the background. When Jan comes to visit I will help him change my front tires. I'm to weak to loosen them.

Nice video Toby, Great to see all the machinery. I was all set to come on Friday with Ferdie but he backed out on me late Thursday nite so I didn't make it.

We had a great turnout for the show, around 40 machines showed up, the youngest operator was 6, his brother was 9, the tail seat D4 is the tractor that Chapter 3 restored from ACMOC, great weather and we ended up with a couple acres of new space.
Thanks to all

OIH,

The backwards tires don't bother me as much as not seeing the 2U and DW 21 out there! "Hydraulics" are fine but "Cable" is best!

Looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks Toby for the usual video you provided so we could enjoy it with you.

PS I think you better go ahead and wear out those front tires as they are for now. One, I don't know when I will get to visit, and two, I like to just watch tires being changed. For once, I don't need to participate on that job. Easier on the back!

Amen to that. Changing tires is no longer something I do for practice.

Thanks for the video of the show that we missed. We were supposed to be there, but are on a big job that our customer is waiting to get done.

To bad you could not make it. That would have been a real treat for us.
