All's fair...

More Fair pics:
Trailer with a bunch of stationary gas engines driving an array of machines, from water pumps to corn shuckers to a washing machine.

Goat standing around and looking cute.

One of six Massey Harris I-330 tractors built for the U.S. Navy; this is the only one left.

  1. Duals??? (On the Massey) What was it for? The brown water navy? As in too thick to swim in and too thin to plow?...

  4. The duals might have been for a bolt-on accessory.
    My dad had a small collection of a particular garden tractor (wish I could remember the name), and one of them had a front end loader. Dad said it was supposed to have the duals to handle the additional weight of loader and the rear counterweights for same. He didn't have the duals, and ran it with less than full weights, but it was not used for anything strenuous. More of a useful toy. He had a full sized loader to back it up.
