I was finally able to get out and go someplace for the first time since March....everything else was canceled.....Although it was smaller this year the Portland tractor show was a good one.I didn't find as much stuff as I usually do but the items I did get are harder to find.
First off is a original condition (no breaks,cracks,or missing parts) 1949 Smith-Miller GMC C.O.E. tow truck!Also notice the N.O.S. Snap-On decals, and a friend delivered an original photo of a local gas station I've been bugging him about for years!
Second is a full Cen-Pe-Co Racing oil metal quart in great condition!These can bring good $ but this one was a steal!
and last is the 1917 Waterloo-Boy experimental "Bath-tub" D ,later became the John Deere D in 1923.This is 1 of 5 built and 1 of one in existence! It was dug up while doing construction on John Deere's property!Sadly this was not one of my purchases!lol
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
That tractor would look great in my back yard.
Isn't the Portland IND show the greatest? I try to go there every three or four years. I couldn't make it this year, my buddies went without me. It's interesting how the whole town of Portland gets into the picture with yard and sidewalk sales. You can find things at Portland that you can't find anywhere else.
Thank you fort and hotair for the comments!And I agree with both!!
hotairfan we have been going for many years and have been exhibitors since about 2007.We take the entire week off and shop!It was always my dad and I and now it's grown into my wife,my father-in-law,and quiet a few friends from our little town that collect old stuff to display.Its a big get-to-gether for all of us as we set up together !And we are only about 30 miles away!
Looks like you had a blast :) Who watched all the baby’s while you were gone ? That Tractor is beautiful !!! I can’t believe they buried it. What year was it unearthed ?
Trey,my mom and sister watched the herd!lol
I'm not sure,I did read it but can't remember!The guy had a vision when he started for sure!That thing was ROUGH!And only the main case!
I even forgot to post some gas pump S&P shakers I bought!
Thanks for the loves!
