Monday Setup - On the Monday of Reunion Week, I went to R&T and took some photos of some of the preparation work being done for the Reunion, which opened Wednesday. These photos represent a tiny fraction of all of the setup work by volunteers prior to and following the event.
Steam Traction Engines - If you have never seen one of these engines up close and personal, you must come see them for yourself. They can be fire-breathing monsters, or they can sneak up on you from behind and you won't hear them coming. This section includes some steam rollers as well.
Featured Engines - Antique Trucks - Trucks have always been closely tied to farming, and for 2007 the featured machines at the Reunion were antique trucks, which covered a wide range of ages, types and styles. Additional truck photos are found in the Parade of Power photos.
Other Tractors - R&T always has a wide variety of gas tractors and this year was no exception. Especially unusual this year was a 1917 All Purpose 8-16 tractor with two-bottom plow.
- The 2007 year's reunion featured this rare and very complete 1917 All Purpose
8-16 tractor equipped with a two bottom plow
- The All Purpose is pulled by a single wide front wheel while
the operator rides over and steers the dual back wheels.
- The All Purpose features a power assist mechanism to raise the plow shares

of Rumely Oil Pull tractors

- The Martin's showed their massive 1958 John Deere 830 Industrial
Tips on viewing Photo Albums
Since our album for Day 3 of Steam School 2000, we have been using a "load ahead" feature in our photo albums.
If you use the "Next Photo" link at the top right corner of each photo, then it will pay you to continue looking at the current photo until the activity display at the bottom of your browser indicates the browser is done loading images. Then, when you click "Next Photo", it will appear almost immediately, and the browser will start loading the next sequential image. To put it simply, wait for the browser to complete loading images before clicking the "Next Photo" button.
