Bob Terrell's Collection

 The Antique Caterpillar Machinery Enthusiasts Club will be holding their Spring Fling again this year at Steve Lippoldt's place in Belle Plaine KS. ACME members come from all over the country to attend. Several members bring their own equipment. This year they will be working on a pond dam or similiar project. This is a great chance to come out and watch some wonderful antique machines doing what they were built for... work. Make sure and bring the kids or grandkids as the guys love to give them rides! Also bring a cooler and some food as these guys love to play all day long.

Address: 762 N Seneca Rd, Belle Plaine, KS.

Dates: May 22nd thru the 25th

Roger Schmidt sent me a batch of photos to post here at K&OSandGEA.

I guess the pictures of the green tractors will come later... :-)

Go check out the collection in the Photo Gallery.

A longstanding tradition at antique tractor shows is to feature one brand of tractor at each show. The Kansas & Oklahoma Steam and Gas Engine show will feature the International Harvester line of farm equipment at the 2008 show.

My 1946 Farmall "B" tractor was purchased by Mace Archer around Kirksville, Mo., while he was visiting friends and family in the area. Mace sold the tractor to Johnny Logsdon, my great-uncle. Johnny had started restoration, removing the hood, radiator, grill, gas tank, steering wheel, governor, exhaust manifold carburetor, fuel lines, air cleaner, choke and throttle linkage, head, spark plugs, magneto. Then he decided to sell it to John W. Wilson who took it to his lot in Atlanta.
