Nappanee Power From The Past, Nappanee, Indiana

My wife and I attended the Nappanee Power From The Past tractor show earlier today. I can't believe it's the first time we've ever been to that show, and it's only 40 minutes from our home. Anyway, the facilities are very nice and the quality of the exhibits is very good. Lots of Amish and Mennonites in attendance. They may travel by horse and buggy or bicycle but they love their antique tractors. Most brands were well represented. Also, there were a large amount of scale model tractors with most being very well done.

Notice the similarity of this Huber and the early Farmalls..

Only 45 minutes from my BIL in Middlebury. Will need to coordinate a trip for both….once I’m retired.

I like this scale model of a Oliver Hart-Parr Row Crop 70. The first tractor I ever restored was a 1937 Oliver just like it.

Thanks for the pix, Ricky. Thomas B "down on the "Fantasy Farm" Peterson lived in Nappanee. I sure miss that guy.

That articulating Oliver reminds me of the Holder AG3 that my dad bought new in 1967. We sold it to a collector in Iowa a couple years ago from my parents estate. 2 stroke diesel and man was that thing loud!
