I guess it was around 1970, I was 15, my grandmother took me to the very first Great Oregon Steam up. At that time it was just a large hay field. I think they had one large steel display/shop building. I recall seeing a number of large Case steam traction engines and a number very large gasoline power tractors as well as many smaller ones. The Yuba is one I remember. It was gray color, had tacks in the back and a metal ball type front wheel for steering Sad to think that most of the presenters of that time are gone now but happy to think that a new generation has taken hold and continuing the tradition.

Love Those Old Hit & Miss Motors And How They Are Still Running. Low Horsepower Motors But Massive Torque To Run Whatever You Belt It To. I Work As A Machinist. This Old Guy Could Make Anything. He Had Old Lathes, Mills, & Other Equipment Dating Back To Early 1900's That Ran Off Belt Drives Running To Ceiling Then To One Motor.

It is really fun to watch and listen to them work. The volunteers do a great job at the Steam Up!

I missed the lawn tractor pulls. Those were sweet rides though. Were they new this year? I don't remember seeing them in the past

They were there last year also. However this was the first year I got to watch them pull.
