Louis is 93, uses a walker, and remembers everything. He was a member of our club for awhile.

Louis has about 150 tractors.
He had a great assortment near his house and more at another location.
These are long range fuel tanks used by B-17s and B-24s to cross the pond.
When empty, they were jettisoned.
Louis told a long story about searching, buying, and trading for parts for his working Bull Tractor.
Maybe a Mogul Junior
A John Deer
Boston Felix, Paul Ranney, Charlie & Johnnie DeVaul, Al Bohn, and Jim Robbins
Lots of tractors with lugs which was typical of the early 30s.
International Kerosene Tractor
For power, give me some steam.
Belt driven
I'm sure there's a story to go with each one.
We had nine cars on display at Mel's for their veterans' bowling event.
Al & June, Paul & Joy, Laurie & Ashley, Rebecca & Max, Johnnie & Charlie, Jack, Glenn, Boston and J R
Back Row: Al, Max, J R, Glenn, Charlie, Jack, Johnnie, Boston, and Ashley
Front Row: June, Rebecca, Laurie, Paul and Joy
Notice Max's wire to hold the choke open on your first pull to start your car.
Release the wire, and crank to start. After a little training, Felix easily started his car with a crank.
