I got there at 0800hrs and it was already getting hot. Walked around until 1400hrs and went home. I talked to many nice people, bought a seat and a JD mower deck. I for got to buy a B&S engine that I wanted and suffered from heat cramps. I actually remembered my camera two shows in a row(a new record).

Some neat stuff there!

I can't edit nor add more pics in the first post. I'll try here.

 

 

In the first group the young man with the "Little Giant" also owns the MagnaTrac. There are similarities but they don't seem to be related(which I suspected). Good Luck, Rick

I have to make it to that show next year. Thanks for posting the pics Boyscout, lots of interesting tractors there. I did meet two GTT members today, though. I met up with jablemen to give him a transaxle for his simplicity and I met his Dad, too. They gave me some cool old spark plugs that I'm going to make a display case for. Great couple of guys that I'm sure I'll meet up with again. Member username offered me a free frame for the Junkyard PK that I recently picked up. He was passing through my area and dropped it off at my place, along with the one rear fender that I needed. I really can't thank him enough for helping me out. He invited me down to his place to look for more parts if I need them. It's great to meet GTT members, and I'm making plans to go to some of the shows next year.

The next Zagray show is  Oct 1 & 2, 2016. It is usually nicer weather and one of the last shows of the year. On Sept 23 - 25 is the show in Kent, CT which is supposed to be very nice. Good Luck, Rick

That picture of the Sears GT's belong to James and Hugh ( guys form MTF)  That gray GT18 is a diesel, sweet tractor.

Looks like it was a good show. I'm a sucker for old chain saws. Scored a 2 man Mall at the last show. I like the Zagray shows a lot, but not the July heat, ughh. Thanks for the pics, perhaps I'll see you at the Fall show.

It was HOT!!!! Yesterday for sure and there was almost no one there. A wash out for sure. The Kent show is spectacular, we went last year.

The lack of  Sunday attendance seems to be a problem at a lot of shows. The public shows up and there's nothing there. The word gets out that there was nothing to see at the show and then the rest of the public quit coming.

Look closely at the pic with saws and you will see that the next booth had a big display of saws too. It demonstrated one of those donut bar saws.

The heat had most people close up and leave by 1400 hrs, including me. Sorry that we didn't meet up Pete. I spent a quiet day yesterday recovering from the heat. Good Luck, Rick
