[SEL] Mike Burns' IHC engine and tractor show Oct 29th.

[Curt]

SEL and tractor fans,
Fans of all things International Harvester will be pleased to know the 
3rd annual show at Mike Burn's place will be held on October 29th at his 
house.
Mike has an unbelievable collection of large horsepower Mogul engines, 
Famous engines, Mogul tractors, Famous tractors (including s/n #1 
friction drive), an IHC auto, early Harvester grain binder, threshing 
equipment, and numerous smaller IHC and Osborn engines.

In years past it has been a working show (I assume it will be the same 
this year) including the cutting of wheat straw he grew and bound with 
the IHC cutter/binder, the threshing of the straw, and the baling with a 
large IHC hay baler. The thresher is driven with one of the large Mogul 
or Famous/Titan tractors.

In the late morning to early afternoon the tractors are started in the 
fields pulling large plows. There is nothing better than the stack music 
these large tractors make when pulling hard!

If you are into early IHC engines and tractors and seeing them worked as 
they would have been a 100 years ago, then this is the show for you!

This is NOT a show you bring anything to. There is plenty of Mike's 
stuff to see and watch! The activities will start in the morning 8:00 
ish and usually go until mid-afternoon.

Hope to see many of you there. If you have any questions, email me.
See ya Saturday.
