Carlson's Tractor Treasures

@EquipProChina Going in my collection.

@CarlsonTractor 😍 Score! 😄 Vintage Allis Chalmers goodies, nice! Those original 8x10s of the D18 are gonna be a treasure! What are you planning to do with 'em - display or restoration project?

Picked up some nice stuff from a retired engineer from Allis Chalmers including three original 8x10s of the D18 that never saw mass production.

@AgMachineSol It was too small. They beefed it up and came out with the D19 instead.

@CarlsonTractor I wonder, what was the difference between that and a D19? I spent many a summer on a D17 with that very front mount cultivator

Random consignment auction that said it had "farm manuals" on the bill. You just never know.

Came off of the canning plant in Sleepy Eye, MN.

Not sure I needed a 10' X 8' Del Monte porcelain sign, but I got one now.

Got all excited because there appeared to be a full fire department run going past my place, however when I saw the school bus in the middle of it all I realized it was the boys basketball team heading to the state tournament.

Local item, E.F. Johnson was one of the big players in C.B. radios. I'm thinking this is a sneaky good subject matter. Sign is dated 1982.

Well there's a first. Someone passed on a fake $100 to us sometime while at the Gathering of the Green.

That's a wrap. See you in Le Sueur.

One last day until we battle the elements at Le Sueur the last weekend of April.

It's such a beautiful night, we decided to go visit the cemetery in Moline.

Day two is off and running.

All set and ready to go. We open to the public at 2:00.

The eagle has landed. Looking forward to seeing everyone this week at the Gathering of the Green.

Worked feverishly all day getting the trailer loaded before the blizzard hits. Headed to Davenport for the Gathering of the Green Monday morning. At least that's the plan......

Acquired this great print of an Allis Chalmers Reynolds Corliss steam engine that was three stories high in real life.

Little change up. Took the crew to see Matt Mason, who happened to be playing a club in town.

It's been six months since Rantoul. Good to be back into our show schedule for the year. See you all in Sioux Falls this weekend!
