North Carolina checking in !!

[El Dee]

Methos that was great...Thanx for the link...I'm a bit of a "Plow Head" already..I grew up on a 40 acre spread with tobacco, corn, soy beans and sweet potatoes in the rotation....Cows and hogs too...We had many tractors thru the years...all RED!! With the passage of my Grand Parents and every one else moving and doing other things sadly the farm is history...I did manage to hold tight too a 1961 140 with all the attachments!! I've been a hired driver a few times working for the remaining local farmers...Sadly there numbers are dwindling...I still sport a mighty fine garden....Given the state of the Union that garden may increase in size..."A country boy WILL SURVIVE!!"

I placed an order Sunday night for a fuse holder and a Hydro filter...I repaired my fuse holder but the nut broke when re-installing...It's plastic and a bit odd...plus the new one was $6 so I just ordered up....I've got it running good with an inline fuse plugged into the factory harness...Still I want to keep it as original as possible and no way am I cutting that harness...Now if that Brown Truck will just show up.........

El Dee that's great to hear that you've got the plowing bug! I'm glad you've enjoyed the links as well. We had a blast at that plow day and a little birdie told me that we will be having 2 NC plow days next year! And you can't forget the redneck plow day in pickens sc in April. I'm still trying to find more gardens to plow in the spring. Also looking for some land for another NC plow day but not having any luck around here.

I helped with the resto on a Johnny Popper a few years back...He went to Denton to a big tractor show...I've heard of it but never been...Denton is on Hwy.49 between Asheboro and Charlotte....close too the UwHarrie National Forest...I think!! I know they show love to old tractors...are Cubs included?? Do they plow....??

I've never been to Denton but cubs are there and there is a huge swap meet there as well. Big and small tractors are there, plus displays and other events. I'm not sure if any plowing is done I'll let Allen answer that. If you looking for plow days and shows check out the event section of the site.
It's a little snow er slow for events but that's where all the PD and shows are posted at. Some of the PD guys travel quite far to attend plow days.

Denton is an awesome show! My wife and I try to go every year.

El Dee, welcome aboard!! Im also from NC located in Midland, about 20 mi east of Charlotte.

2 suggestions for ya: If you can make it to a plow day, you need to do it. Its really awesome seeing these little tractors work like that!

Also, I go to Denton every year and camp usually for 6 days even though the show is a 5 day show. There are things that come to Denton that you'll only see if you come. Its well worth the drive from Fville. Maybe you and Allen can ride together. Whatever you do, try to make it to that show. Bring some money and a trailer because there is a huge swap meet.

If i can find a way to get all of the parts needed to pull a plow with my 1810, I will glady join you guys. I live in Flat Swamp, NC (close to Dover and Cove City) 20 miles New Bern and 20 miles from Kinston and close to nothing. We have a 88 total in land and 53 acres of it are cleared farm land, that we lease out to TRC Farms
