Great Oregon Steam-Up
This weekend and next weekend are the highlights of the summer of those of us interested in old engines, whether they are tractors, steam traction engines or old gas engines.
The Great Oregon Steam-Up has been going on since the late 1980’s and we’ve been attending with at least one old tractor for the past 8 years. Most of the time, it’s been with the 1956 John Deere 420
And occasionally the 1949 John Deere D. 500 cubic inches divided between two cylinders. No muffler - exhaust stack is straight out of the exhaust manifold. Nicknamed, The Beast. This is a 7,000+ lb tractor and we weren’t able to find anybody to help us move it this year.
Today was spent greasing, cleaning, loading and moving the 420. The rest of this coming weekend will be spent at Antique Powerland in Brooks, Oregon.
