40 Case Spark Show

[40avery]

CNDSTR was indeed a very good show this year. One of the guest engines Tim R's Case 40 did an awesome job on the spark show on Friday night. Here are some pictures.

Thanks for the pictures Rick. I wish the guy in the back ground would have turned his head lights off. CNDSTR was indeed a fun show. We had a great time operating the fourty Case around the show. As you know now, after its performance on the sparks show Friday and Saturday on the big separator it is offically known as the "Big Fourty". Thus my handle.

There was a certain person out farming and not attending the show who did not believe the 'Big Fourty' could handle the 'Big Separator' so a phone call had to be made. The phone was held up to the exhaust stack on the Fourty so that certain person could hear that it was handling the threshing job quite nicely. It didn't matter that there were four men and a boy pitching bundles and throwing them in sideways, backwards, on top of each other and what ever! Thus we now refer to the 40 Case as the "Big Fourty"

Big Fourty....... yes indeed and I have it on tape. It is just that I have been so busy that I have not got it onto a dvd for you yet.And I shouldnt tell you this but I have watched it a couple of times and it is quite impressive!!even when the bundles are 2-3 high and sideways and backwards.lets see............big 40 /little 80:rof:
Tim will you be at the annual meeting ? I should have the video on disc by then and I can give it to you.

When is the annual meeting? I would love to see the Big Fourty perform on tape. It may just get elevated to "The Little Eighty"

Nice to see you on the forum Tim! Welcome aboard!

A certain person did show up on Monday to help us put his stuff to bed... and I guess he was there a few more times that week to help put others stuff away. Rain took care of his combining!

I wonder if that person would believe that I lifted the safety on his Reeves while I was threshing? I even kept it at 120# with all of those guys pitching in bundles sideways, backwards, on top of each other... etc! I think I may have some film of it too... but I have not had time to check it all out yet. Now I'M combining!

BTW... Annual Meeting info is HERE (http://www.wmstrcommunityforum.com/showthread.php?t=951).

See you there!

[Big Fourty]

I will try to make the annual meeting, however, if the weather cooperates I will be combining!

A good photographer would have shot the picture so the lights were not there! I have a fair photo editor and will attempt to make them go away. If it works I will burn it on a cd and get it to you.

BTW did the CD I sent arrive ok?
