Great pictures Stu. We tend to get the idea that such shows are British, so it is really good to see a great show from your side of the pond!
Thanks for the posting.

Excellent pictures - thanks Stu.

If you're ever take a trip to Florida, the Florida Flywheelers weekends are a not to miss event - Florida Flywheelers

Not only do they have wonderful old steamers, and Oliver tractors I discovered last fall, they have a complete settlers town community built in the manner of the old days. They even have a period Ford Model T dealership really selling a whole range of these iconic cars and pick-up trucks.

Thanks Scotty and thanks for the Florida link. Interesting place.
Antique Acres here is small in scale compared to Florida but they do keep adding to it. Last year a flood about wiped the place out but they have since recovered.
Rick will be scratching his head but I'm giving some serious thought to purchasing a Ford 8N so I can join in on the fun.

Hey Stu

Great photos! I always enjoy tractor shows. My brother owns a 1902 Marshal Steam traction engine. (6 hp I think) It needs some repair work, but he is currently allowed to raise 100 p.s.i. of steam, so although it cannot work fully, it can move under it's own power.

I was at the local Machinery Preservation Society breakfast yesterday and was looking at a wartime lease-lend Farmall tractor with the offset steering!

Great little tractor!

I'm going to have to visit the States some time soon; you have so much old stuff over there!

Keith, I was giving the Farmall Cub's the once over also. Very cool tractors but a high step to get on. The little Fords were easy to climb on and comfortable too.

Here's another event near here in a couple weeks.
