[SEL] Tulare Swap Meet

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Hi List,
I was able to go to the Tulare swap meet this week end.   Lot of interesting 
items for sale.  There was a couple of engines (Dishpan  Fairbanks Morse & IHC 
LA) that nearly followed me home.  However,  I did NOT think they were made 
of gold as the sellers did.  They both  needed a lot of TLC.
There was several members of EDGE & TA Branch 27 getting rid of  their 
surplus equipment.
In talking with some of the people at the meet, I found out that  many drove 
a considerable distant to come to this meet.  I would estimate  there were 
about 50 - 60 sellers of engines, equipment, and tractors.  Some  of the 
attendees said that the selling crowd was smaller this year than  last year.
