I worked for a International shop back in the middle 60's and had the opportunity to assist in a few conversions. I cannot remember what the external changes looked like. I vaguely recall a larger bore and valves, a modified distributor curve change, and a larger carb. My favorite of the tractors in the video is the horizontal cylinder John Deere. The engine had a great toe tapping rhythm when it was running. I rented a flat from an old farmer and his wife and he had an old John Deere, Had to spin the flywheel to start it.Dan Stackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035220766185836543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-41804271140918756102009-02-26T10:53:00.000-07:002009-02-26T10:53:00.000-07:00Tractors, trucks, and guns - some guys have all th...Tractors, trucks, and guns - some guys have all the good toys!Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-64382220248091488362009-02-26T10:21:00.000-07:002009-02-26T10:21:00.000-07:00tim: One of the better things was talking to the ...tim: One of the better things was talking to the guys (and gals) who restore these tractors. ALL are farmers and some of 'em have five or six tractors.<BR/><BR/>Jenny: It was pretty good, but attendance seemed light. Most of the vendors claimed business is good... and I asked. A lot.<BR/><BR/>Ann: I don't recall ever seeing longhorns saddled, either.<BR/><BR/>Cynthia: Glad you and your DH liked the vid! I'll have more pics today and tomorrow... I took a LOT of tractor pics, LOL!<BR/><BR/>Cat: It WAS fun! The ladies are right friendly, as noted!<BR/><BR/>BR: I spent a lil time talking with one of the guys who rode the longhorns. They pick 'em young and train 'em for about two years or so before they "show" 'em, i.e., ride 'em in public. And not all the steers have the temperament for this, I learned.<BR/><BR/>Jay: I seem to recall a song along those lines... <B>:-)</B><BR/><BR/>Phlegmmy: I have quite a few pics of those steers. Beautiful animals.<BR/><BR/>All: The WX DID hold up, and Happy Hour was QUITE pleasant.
