HIGH COUNTRY CRANKUP
July 23 - 25, Boone, NC
Saturday morning the 24th of July
turned out to be as pretty
as can
be expected anywhere in North Carolina. There was a
great
turnout of exhibitors, but the crowd seemed to be a lot
smaller
than we expected. A lot of people missed a great show!!
The show
is held in a beautiful mountain setting which adds a
special
flavor to the whole day.

We met
with Tom Schmutz and Dallas Cox at Tom's trailer, where
Tom
proudly shows us his 1/2 HP New Holland in the picture above
left.
Center - Dallas and Tom are probably talking about someone
on the
list who failed to show up :-) Right, a 2 HP Fairbanks Morse
'Jack of
all trades', owned by Ralph Leonard of Salisbury, NC

Above -

I failed
to get the ownership information of the two engines shown
above.
Hopefully someone can let me know who they belong to. The
engine
on the left is an Associated 'Busy Boy', and the one on the
right is
a IHC 'Mogul', of about 6 HP.
