Gas Up

'Gas up' has a whole new meaning these days with the price of fuel so high. However, the Gallupville Gas-Up is something totally different and was a huge hit this past weekend. The weather was perfect despite the stormy prediction that didn't materialize. There were so many antique and classic vehicles and diverse pieces of machinery to see. Hopefully my photo choices aren't too many repeats from previous years. Dave brought his cute little 1958 Panzer tractor with the pony cart behind it, so I could ride around with him to get an overview. Later we walked to really explore the displays.

Farmalls galore!

John Deeres too...

Antique engines large and small, doing a variety of chores.

We had never seen these British Fordson County tractors before. They were unusual with big wheels and tires in both the front and rear.

This is an elaborate blade sharpener...

These antique trucks and engines really stood out.

 

The wood fired Case steamed away running the sawmill...

The steam shovel was doing demonstrations and the dirt was loaded into the period correct dump truck.

The Sunday parade is one of my favorite parts of the show. Dave entered with the Panzer and took along a couple of our friends.

I especially like this event because there are so many kids that get involved, plus the diversity of vehicles and equipment is amazing.

This was another '10' day at an annual event we try not to miss. We may even go back, because it is happening this coming weekend too! Thank you, Hudson Mohawk Chapter of the Pioneer Gas Engine Association!
