Hey Pat, where is Lindsay? If it's not to much of a haul from Houston, I may have my Thirty ready to show by then.

Hi Tom, Lindsay is about 250 miles from Huntsville, I measured it today, I'm going to school at Sam Houston State, but you would come down 45 to Dallas, then get on I 35 north, right before you get to Oklahoma, you turn west on Hwy 82 in Gainesville, which takes you to Lindsay, when you get to Lindsay, turn North on FM 1199, the show is about 2 miles north, watch for signs

If its to far of a haul, your more than welcome to play around on our equipment, maybe Tom Pfeifer will have your old D2 there!,

Hi Jim, we look forward to meeting you at our show, our show is Sat and Sun, but the big part is Saturday, most the Sunday show is smaller, but we have a good time, We bale hay with horse driven baler and pully driven baler, I don't know if we are going to have any corn to shell this year, we are going to Thresh some wheat, we have plowing grounds where we can play around, and we do have a parade, we have a lot of events, hopefully we will have a good turnout, the fuel prices our going to be a real killer. There probably will be 6 or 7 caterpillars.

Jim, I met someone from the Austin area at the Best Show on Tracks. Was that you? Tom P

Looks like I'm going to be screwed out of the Lindsay show. I have to make a driving trip to west Texas this weekend to log a well . It's the pits when work get in the way of important or fun things.

Hope you all have a great time at the show and be careful on the road, hauling tractors or just hauling ass.

no im new to these Tractor shows. I needed a tractor to to do 70 ac of clearing on my place and i found this old d4 -2t series tractor and did not know that it was that collectible -or if it is- I just knew that I had worked these old tractors all day to make a living and now they are fun to run and own- wife thanks Im crazy -going thru second child hood-or mid life crisis- what ever I like my old Tractors at my age I can do what i want she understands---so Im having fun. Look forward to meeting all of the old tractor guys in the "Lindsey Show"
