I started going to Denton in 1974 I was 11 years old, it was the Wheat Trashing and International Fly In. They had a little air strip there then .There three steam traction engines there one was may grandaddy took him to see it again he owned it through the 30s and 40 thrashed wheat for neighbors.There was a also a vertical boilers Westinghouse engine that was sold all around NC for years ending up at Ken edders place. The other tractor were farmers from around the area brought thier tractors.The were no buildings back then ,No shade just a open field of winter wheat a airstrip.Last time I went was 5 years ago. Thanks for posting this video brings many memories of my granddad and his Massey Harris tractors
Jonathan, that was a fun day👍. Seeing all those steam engines, amazingly quiet. Then the tractor 🚜 parade, wow, never seen so many in one place. A really great video, thanks for bringing it to us👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed all the engines and the tractor parade. I found it nice that they have kids, women driving them and the sheer variety of tractors was amazing. A lot of credit to all those people for the effort to keep them running. The best part was that all you saw was people having a good time with no fuss or muss. A real family affair. Thanks again and you have yourself a great week.
Johnathan, I live about 20 minutes from Denton farm park,used to go with my parents and grandparents to the Threshers reunion, haven't been in many years, Thanks for sharing, Awesome video!
Thank you for making your videos we really enjoy all of them . I personally wish you would get back to posting 2 a week or maybe 3 times a week about what ever you want. I do miss the ones from the hardware store . One again thank you for sharing what you do
So glad you brought us a real American treat, the people that count. So important they aren't forgotten as Washington trys to crush them. Thanks Johnathan.
Thanks for filming the tractor show! I saw 3 examples of old Farmall's and a John Deere my grandfather used to own. I used to have a 1940 Farmall Model A Cultivator. She was rough but still pretty to me! I sold it to someone with time and parts to fix it up, neither of which I had then.
Just seeing the kids riding on & driving tractors totally made my day. I hope they never stop holding these events. Truth is, we need more of this kind of stuff.
Thanks for taking me on that walk around them steam engines. That's something you don't see very often. It's been 30 years or longer since I seen a tractor parade. Really enjoyed it. And again, thanks for taking the time to film this. Have yourself a great week.
Enjoyed the video. Big fan of yours, very informative on a variety of projects. The steam engines are great! Oh yeah, you like it I love it. The parade was fun as well. Thanks
Great video Jonathan, I live in Massachusetts, so I have never seen a parade like this. So many cool tractors, and I was really happy to see all of the kids that got involved, especially the young kids who were actually driving the tractors. Thanks for sharing the video with us.
Thanks for the walkabout, Jon. Very interesting. I enjoyed the parade of power (and I'm a Townie). Lots of people having lots of fun and that's great to see. All the best, Mart in England.
The industrial revolution was basically headed up by the development of the steam engine 🤔imo. These engines was overlooked in my history classes. Thanks for sharing Johnathan, good job catching it for us👍👍
Excellent video Johnathan W :) on steam engines plus bowler, print press from 1901 still works great and parade of tractors plus old car also lawn tractors too with trailers ! Lots these tractors shown have seen my areas for years and still going strong today plus grew up with my childhood days ! Even some drive back then also Restoration on to for first job in Sandblasting and got fix up for my first job in Auto Mechanics plus still do today to at my workplace job also my own too! Oldest tractor work on was 1937 Model A Ford car but called Cele -Trac my late Uncle Roy had one but in 2000 did one with my great uncle Bob he had originally his grandfather then his dad to Bob in 1964 sat around from 1975 ! But Bob had all parts to Restoration it and up in Mesumn now near me he sold to too plus all information about it history! Funny vechile it is and but cool too!
Wow!! Never seen so many in a parade before! That was cool! And no two alike. Mater of fact, saw tractors that I never seen before!! Before you know it, you'll be collecting steam Train Engines!!
Old man picked me up after mowing a hay field with a 50 John Deere. He asked, why did you cut across the field? I replied, them damned flying ants! I couldn't see! He smiled and gave me a shot of Blackberry Brandy. I was 12.
When I was a teenager we would go to the Miami Valley Steam Threshers show at the Madison County fairgrounds at London,Ohio and there is or was a similar show held at the Athens County fairgrounds in Athens,Ohio, always a lot of interesting old equipment at both of these,I have some pictures still today from them.
It makes me feel old and privileged to see the tractors my grandfather and neighbors used now considered antiques. I wonder if the tractors stuffed with electronics will still be running in 50 - 75 years.
two row corn picker and kids riding in a manure spreader. I enjoy seeing the ladies behind the wheel. all of us kids took turns driving the tractor and the only complaint was from b.b.gun welts. this show put a smile on my face. thanks.
Educational video as usual. I particularly liked the "convertible" tractors, the ones with the umbrella accessories. Seeing that single car in the parade reminded me of your veteran cars.
Here in Minnesota we have some impressive threshing shows. I usually get to the show at Nowthen, MN (formerly Rogers, MN) and the White Pine Show near McGrath, MN. It’s amazing how much I don’t know about those old machines. Great video, Jonathan!
Very cool to see all those " steamers" saved from the scrap pile...the way things seem to be going in this world they may come back into full use 🤷♂️ I remember as a boy in Ore. we went to a "steam up" it was all steam tractors and equipment powered by them...they did pulling contest among other events.
When refinishing the "D" valves on our locomotives we polish the valve itself with 1,000 grit paper on a surface plate (thick glass will do). We then lap it to the steam chest using various Clover lapping compounds. The parts must be very clean and rust free before starting the process. You might want to have a snack to get you through the job. Good luck as yours look a bit rough.
Taillightman I loved the video ! had just finished washing it ,when a friend showed up with pictures of a a pole barn the brother of a friend had just inherited . There are pictures of several steam engines and a boiler . It was under steam 2-3 months ago. It is located in north eastern Pa. I heard that the owner tried to donate them several times ,but was turned down.
THANK YOU fer postin EH !!! I just LOVED the walk through EH !! The parade was ok too. That one lil pumpkin just a grinnin & a wavin. HA HA HA HA WAVIN a hand lad !!
Great video Jonathan. I have a friend that has a small steam museum in Guilford Connecticut. He has ,I believe 3 Stanley steamers, One he built from scratch he has a couple steam launches And he has built a walking beam steam engine. He's a very interesting guy. This Denton farm park parade of power would be something to take in. Thank you.
There was so much power in the Parade of Power that I thought my television was vibrating. Lots of cool machines. And if someone really wants to be "counterculture/steampunk", they should use that steam powered generator to recharge their Tesla...I'd like to see the adapter for that.🙂
Love the steam engines! And the hotrods😬 here at the Grand Rapids public museum in Michigan, they have a Corliss type engine they claim is 400 hp unlimited torque, it’s 24” bore 48” stroke and has a18ft flywheel and they run it on air inside the museum, pretty impressive 😁
My wife said she would leave me, if I bought a tractor. I did, and she wrote me a Deere John letter... Sorry... 🤣 Great show, thanks for taking us along.
my uncle operated a printing press like that one but it was electric cost him a finger and a squished thumb he also used to set the type too sometimes changing colour a couple times a day i guess he made a lotta money doing it cause he was never broke and had all the toys he wanted too
At the very begining of your video you showed an engine that appeared to have a wood stave cylinder. Could you comment more on that engine. Thanks for the tour. Keep sending more like this.
Yes, it is a High Point engine built in High Point North Carolina. It is the only one I have seen before. The wood is used as an insulator to hold heat in the cylinder. I plan to do some research on the company soon.

SIR, thank you for taking us to the show!! this was neat!!
Holy macaroni, that cotton press was, well, "impressive" !! Thanks Jonathan !!
Loved every moment, esp. That Gadsen Flag, "Don't tread on me!"

That takes me back. My uncle had a Rumely tractor he used to run every year at Austin Mb. thresherman’s reunion and we went every year.
Love the old stuff! Thanks
Old man picked me up after mowing a hay field with a 50 John Deere. He asked, why did you cut across the field? I replied, them damned flying ants! I couldn't see! He smiled and gave me a shot of Blackberry Brandy. I was 12.
Thanks Jonathan for taking us along to the steam and gas show, some very impressive machinery.
What a stroll down memory lane! Thanks for this video, really enjoyed it.
,,,great show, very interesting machinery, keep safe..
We still run those old letter press printers almost every day, we have a 1911 golfing press that my boss’ grandfather started the business with

Thank you Jonathan, for a look at steam engines , fascinating, really enjoy it !,
We love Denton Farmpark.
Awesome love hearing and seeing those old tractors and all of those engines thank you
Educational video as usual. I particularly liked the "convertible" tractors, the ones with the umbrella accessories. Seeing that single car in the parade reminded me of your veteran cars.
except for the Kubota, it was a good parade of vintage tin in the parade, enjoyed seeing the little ones driving by.

Thanks for sharing Jonathan, good assortment of machinery, plus good to see the steam engines and working , wish I was there !!
Thank you for the video. Them old engines are cool. Would love to find one for myself one day and learn how to run it.
The best on TH-cam is right here . JonathanW is a real American hero .
If you look all across America you still see a lot of old tractors still in use. They were made better than cars.
Very cool to see all those " steamers" saved from the scrap pile...the way things seem to be going in this world they may come back into full use 🤷♂️
I remember as a boy in Ore. we went to a "steam up" it was all steam tractors and equipment powered by them...they did pulling contest among other events.
Thank you, that steam section was comprehensive.
That was awesome Jonathan thanks for sharing that video All the steam engines were impressive and The tractors Happy 4th of July
An amazing venue!
Thank You Sir for taking us all along. It was Awesome to See...Thanks again. Great Video

I really enjoyed this Jonathon, great power parade, just about anything you can imagine there.
I wish I could been in my 20s back these days world now just ran by internet robots 🤖 thanks sharing these cool machines.

Not looking for donations, but if they are willing to sell, I would love to look at them.
Can you get a email address or something 🙏 I would like to have a smaller, fixer upper, steam engine 😁👍
Thanks Jonathan. I really like those old machines. 👍
Really cool - way more machines in the parade of power then I expected.
