Weekend Steam

July 9, 10, and 11 there is a good show in northwestern Indiana, just one mile south of the town of Crown Point. The South Lake County Agricultural Historical Society is hosting their 26th annual show, where you can see a nice variety of gas engines, tractors, and steam engines, plus the associated machinery that was used on the farm.

George Kester, of Kester's Collectables tells me that he will be there with his 65 HP Case steam traction engine, and also his portable Case engine, vintage 1908. George will be bringing several of his cast farm toys with him, so this is a great opportunity for you to see his products if you have been putting off buying some of these wonderful hand made American toys.


This Rumely Oil Pull photo is borrowed off of the South Lake County Agricultural Historical Socitey website, and if you have an inquiring mind you have to wonder how high the cover blew when this old tractor started.
