DENTON
SOUTHEAST
OLD THRESHERS REUNION
June 30
- July 4, 1999
Denton is usually the hottest place
around during the week of the
4th, but
this year was the exception, at least for the first 3 days. We
went
down on
the 1st and 2nd, and the weather was just great. This is the
largest show
in the
southeast, and even though you see the same displays year after
year, there
are
always a few new and very interesting machines to look at. As
usual, I got
tied up
talking to a few people, and missed taking a lot of pictures, but
there are
a few
here for a fair representation of what I saw this year.

and
well
liked folks in the hobby, is sharing his expertise with some
fellow old iron lovers.
Willard
brought a Reeves engine of about 2 HP that was belted to a Reeves
speed
reducer,
and operating his trademark pencil sharpener. middle- The 80 HP
Model 32
Fairbanks
Morse two cylinder diesel that runs the veneer mill. This is a
sweet running
engine
that puts out some great 'stack music'. right- This 1 1/2 HP
Alamo compressor
outfit
is owned by Randy Tucker of Charlotte, NC.

is a fun
way to
demonstrate a pumpjack using a 6 HP IHC 'Famous', owned by Stanly
Rice of
Mebane, NC. right- This great set of fluted hopper Aermotors is
seen at
a lot of
the shows we have attended. Owned by Lindo Harvell of Laurinburg,
NC

Junction,
MI.
middle - This is another display that is seen at a lot of the
shows. Bill
and
Bessie Hall, of Sarasota, FL, have a great collection of hand
cranked slicers,
dicers,
peelers, etc. that would put the Ronco (sp) man to shame. right -
This
Jensen
pumpjack powered by a 1/4 scale Reid is part of a very well done
display
of
oilfield equipment by Lester and Louise Fisher of New Port Richey,
FL.
