Let is rain, let it pour that could not stop the good times that
were had at the UAW Second Annual Antique Gas Engine and Tractor
Jubilee. Collector enthusiasts brought their restored equipment
from as far away as Oakley, Michigan and Urbana, Ohio. What fun it
was to meet brothers and sisters from so many other locals who also
restore these old relics.

The Bluegrass Mini Festival was not to be stopped by a little
rain. They just moved inside. The Anderson History Museum showed us
how Anderson has been on the move. Boy, have cars changed since the
1908 Anderson Car! Quilters quilted, craftsmen sold their wares,
engines putted, tractors were driven, yummy barbeque chicken was
eaten and people from Canada to Florida, Massachusetts to Iowa just
plain had a good ole time in Anderson, Indiana.

Hope to see all and more of you next June 6 & 7, 1987.

ECONOMY SAW RIG

This 6 HP Economy saw rig pictured on the left belongs to Johnny
Board of Obion, Tennessee. It was restored by Tim Fox and Jesse
Livingston.

These photos were taken at the 2nd ‘Old Timers Day’ held
at the Obion County Fairgrounds in Union City, Tennessee in May
1984. The saw rig had lain in a fence row approximately the last 40
years at the Johnny Board Farms in Obion. Surprisingly, the engine
was not too tightly stuck and only the Wico mag was beyond repair.
The right wheel on the front of the wagon had been run over with a
bulldozer or something and was completely destroyed. With the aid
of a metal detector, all of the hub pieces were found and the whole
thing was put back n one piece. Placing the rim back round was a
tough job; but using a sledge hammer and welding torch, it was
fixed! The engine was fired up at the show and sawed firewood like
in the old days. Photos sent to us by Jesse Livingston, Route 2,
Box 118, Troy, Tennessee 38260.
