Great points, Jeffcat. I started an antique tractor display at our county fair in the early nineties. Each night of the fair the members of my committee would mingle about the display and meet and greet visitors. It would put a smile on my face when a young couple would walk through the tractors and you'd hear "look honey , this is the first thing I ever drove" as they approached an old H or something. And their child was welcome to sit on it if he wanted. Fast forward 20-25 years. Same old display of H's and Ms and As and Bs. New committee sitting and socializing among themselves, couldn't care less about the tractors or the visitors. Signs say don't sit on or touch. I amassed everything for the display (fence, building, signs, etc) but kind of got voted out cause I had no desire to mingle with the now committee. I'm surprised they don't just break out the cards to go with their chips and dip. Our rules in 1991 included 1958 and older tractors . Today it should be 1985 and older or even 1990, but no change. Our display used to be full of people, now tractors sit there with hardly no-one around them and most nights a few people sitting in the corner talking among themselves.

In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
