I was at the Auction on the first Saturday of this month and at the actual MW-TCA meet the next day in Humboldt IA. There is a National meet in Middleton WS. next month and a fall one in Springfield MO. A nation is 10 - 20 times bigger than the one shown post by in Timberwolf. Thanks for posting it. I may go to the fall meet.

I have only been to one national and it was in Asheville N.C. years ago...It was outstanding...Highly recommended if you love and collect old tools.

I can't do much traveling, and still have enough $$$ for collectable tools, however...there are 2 dates I like to keep in mind...
1st 4 days in August ( Thursday through Sunday) is The Worlds LONGEST Yard Sale..5 states long, last count..Runs along route 127 in Ohio..
Labor Day Weekend.....West Liberty, Ohio holds their Annual Tractor Fest...IF you like walking the 1-2 MILES of vendors...
Just a hint...a very small hint, at that..
Those are the 2 events I try to save up for...usually have to settle for the Tractor Fest....
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

I watch a lot of James Wright's videos. I went to an MWTCA meet several years ago when they had it in SW PA. I'm not a collector, but it was a great time. Watching his videos reminds me of how much fun I had.
If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?

There's huge "hit/miss" engine, farm eqt. meet every February in Avon Park, Fl on 200 acres..I have never been able to walk very much of it..They have hundreds of golf carts for rent for those who can't get around easily..Some really rare tools are found there each year...Sellers come from all over the U.S. I haven't been to it for about five years now...too old and feeble.
