Pottsville, Oregon Part 2
The equipment shown is this segment was all operating the day of the show. Actually if I heard the announcer correctly. You are not allowed to display anything that cannot be operated, and as you will see some of this stuff is way
OLDER THAN ME!!!
The first picture shown is of a 1920's model tractor and dirt roller. The feller that drives this tractor is 86 years old!!!! He has been driving this tractor since he was old enough to be able to drive it. His daddy bought it brand new and he has had it since then. When I get to the tractor pull segment this tractor was the tractor that actually leveled and packed the dirt after each pull with the old guy doing the driving!!!!!
The second picture is of a FARMALL tractor with IRON wheels. I have no idea what year it was?????
The third picture is of an actual well drilling out fit and that day they were actually drilling a hole in the ground to show how the machinery worked.....
The last picture is of an actual working ditch digger from, back in the 1920's or 1930's and though they did not dig with it, it was started up and moved around and the digger was operated just to show that it all worked.
