Friday was the last day of the Southern Farm Show in Raleigh NC. The number of people that were there was probably more than day one and two combined. I was busy enough that I did not get a chance to go and get a hotdog for lunch until about 2.30 in the afternoon and the crowd did not thin out until 3.30 . The most asked about part I had on display was a E5NN10849BA tach/guage cluster that goes in the dash of a Ford tractor. It fits
2600, 3600, 3900, 4100, 4600, 5600, 6600, 7700 and some other models. I had one couple asking about a Tillotson carburetor and that is one that I don't get asked about very often. The 2nd most asked about part was the carburetor I had there which was a 17A11 Zenith carb. The 17A11 fits lots of different tractors like a IH 240, 330, 340, 404, MF TO20, TO30, TO35, 35, 50, MH 50, AC WD and others.
The show ended at 4 o'clock and the madhouse began, all the exhibitors trying to get loaded and on the road. I beat the rush hour traffic out of Raleigh just barely and made it home in time to have dinner with my wife.
Today, I am unloading some of my parts and loading others to go to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville KY. I will be there next week exhibiting parts. I hope to see some of you at the show.
Thanks,
Eric
