Here’s a photo & short story from the 2010 Gera Old Tractor Days.  This tractor belongs to the club treasurer Vern Notestine.  This is a 2 picture feature.  The first is a shot of his John Deere 40 on display at the show last year.  The second is a photo that Vern attached to the tractor. The caption of the photo Vern shared says:  Vern Notestine, 1963. I rolled this JD 40U.  Vern, we are all glad you came out of the rollover safely! 

This month, let’s have a look at a one of the antique tractors on display at the Gera Old Tractor Days in 2010. This beauty belongs to club member, Louis Wehrmann.  This is in International 660 Diesel.

Here are a couple pictures of just part of the crowd gathered to watch the tractor pulls at the 2010 Gera Old Tractor Days.  A BIG thanks to our Tractor Pull Sponsors who made this possible.  If you would like to sponsor this year’s tractor pulls, please contact us.  Look at all of the exposure you will receive!

Ah Harvest time!  This time of the year, I always think about the New Idea Corn Husker that the club restored and runs every year at the Gera Old Tractor Days.  Here’s a still photo, but this month there is a bonus!  Have you seen the video yet?  Over 1,000 people have seen our President, Jerry Daenzer and our Treasurer Vern Notestine running the corn husker, if you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out!  I love this photo showing the club members loading the corn into an El Camino!

Look at all these trophies!  Bring your kids to the Gera Old Tractor Days and they can try the pedal pull and win a great trophy!  A special thanks to Kent & Paul Krauseneck for coordinating the trophy collection and repair.  Also, thanks to Kidd Company for the emblems on the trophies. If you would like to donate your old trophies to this worthy project, please bring them to a meeting.  We take any type of trophy and with bit of work turn them into a great prize for these kids. 

Here is a shot of the barrel tractor ride full of kids. This is a family favorite every year at the Gera Old Tractor Days.  Thanks to Kent Krauseneck for driving the kids around through a large portion of the show. If you think this looks like a fun job, contact us!  We are always looking for volunteers!

Here is a shot of one of the Super Modified pullers at the 2010 Gera Old Tractor Days.  Join us in 2011 to see these awesome machines in action!  This one brought a lot of attention and goes by the name Cruel Intentions.
