These pictures were taken in Kinzer's Pennsylvania at the annual Thresherman's Reunion put on by the Rough and Tumble Engineers Association. http://www.roughandtumble.org/ More steam tractors than you can shake a stick at. 8) 8) 8) I have video of some tractors and of the sawmill on its way soon.

Where was the show?One thing to see Old Iron,another to see it working.
We had a NH baler.But ours did not look like that!!!!!!!!!I can see it does not need a tractor to pull it,but how does the hay get baled?

Hey cfarm,
just modded the first post with show information. That baler caught my eye too. A self propelled baler, who'd a thunk? Never seen one before.

Thought it was Kinsers. Then, saw the Brubaker name, and confirmed it.

Been 41 years since I was there. LOTS of added buildings and equipment.

Did you happen to see the old 1 lunger that was sawn on, so it would never run, again ??? I heard it killed the guys brother or father somehow, and the guy just kept sawing on it with hacksaw blades. Amazing the places he managed to cut. The cuts were very nearly through, but, not enough to fall apart.

Thanks for taking the time to post all those photos. Really enjoyed them. 8) 8)

No deadheader, didn't see that. Yeah, Brubaker is kinda a dead give away :D It is an awesome show. Im trying to get videos on youtube now of various tractors and the sawmill too.

Thanks for takin the time to share them all. 8)

Any idea why the truck box in the first set of pics is so high off the truck?

Fla._Deadheader · August 18, 2008, 10:07:29 PM

I'm guessin that's one of the first Coal Delivery trucks. They would raise high to get the coal to slide off, through a first story or basement window. I remember them as a little fart.

I believe they were called "Jiffy Dumps". :
