This post has been updated. Note that the date has been changed to August 2026!
I have been approached by the Badger Steam and Gas organization to head up a Deere sled display at their annual August show.
Deere is the featured manufacturer in 2026, just as it was in 2008, which I believe was the last time we put on a sled display at the event. Back in 2008 I was still milking cows, and Joe Wanie headed up the event. I did show my 74 JDX8 and the restored engine that was for my 72 400.
I have been told that we can do whatever we want, and will have as much indoor display space as we need. I can tell you that to date we are not getting that kind of support from the Classic Green crew.
The date of the show is August, 2026. The show grounds is just a bit north of the city of Baraboo, WI.
I am attending a club meeting on the first of December to get the ball rolling. If you have an interest in participating, don't be shy. Reply here, or send me a text to: (6086971929)
