Toby I remember in 2010 when we were in MN, I read a newspaper article about unusual extended warm weather in October and how it could so quickly change overnight. The article compared the then conditions with a similar October about 20 years earlier when a serious cold snap trapped so many unprepared and several people died from exposure. Hence the rule in MN: " Never go out without your coat, your hat and your gloves. " Best regards from Albion Park, NSW, Australia.
Glad to finally meet you in person toby! The Co-op in the early part of the video actually came from just down the road from me that was sold by a family friend that recently went to the nursing home. I did manage to snag the PTO shaft for my 10-20 on the way out of the show grounds, had a great time despite someone coating my truck with mud from getting stuck beside me. 🙄 Already excited for next years swap meet!
Toby It was nice to meet you and sr on Sunday. Thanks for being the eternal optimist that you are and making the most of the weekend no matter the weather. Its the people like you that make all the hard work to put this event on worth it.
Swap meets are a blast. Used to make the 4 hour trip west over the mountains to the Lebanon Valley Speedway swapmeet every Halloween weekend. It was the same deal, saw everything from 80° & bright sun to 15° & snowing. Had a lot of memorable trips from 8 people, a quick change rear & a pile of body parts in an LTD wagon to disassembling & packing a whole center steer modified into a 1/2 ton pickup. Good times for sure!
Great video… retired teacher here. Shirt and ties during the week… coveralls and boots all weekend at various types of auctions.. especially farm auctions and all swap meets…. Always with my son. Thank you for the great visual of my past life.
It was great to meet you at the swap. I can't say I've seen anything like that weather for the few years I've been going to Le Sueur, but the rain, the wind, and even a belly flop in the mud aren't near enough to scare me away. There's always awesome stuff to look at and purchase, and even greater people with unique stories to talk to. I'll definitely be back next year!
I really wanted to meet you two and was in the visitor parking lot by about 8AM on Friday but it got so muddy I decided to leave about 10:30 for fear of getting stuck with my minivan. I did spin a little when leaving and glad I left when I did. Next year!
Squatch, it was great getting to meet you and Sr, Dad and I enjoyed chatting with you. This was our first time at LeSueur and the legends didn't fail. Mud, wind, and lots of rain, all contributed to a LOT of fun! We found a few treasures and got to meet some nice people, we'll be back. Keep up the great work, we really enjoy the channel.
I think if I remember right the Moline plows had the solid D-Ring on the plow and the trip hitch actually bolted to the tractor drawbar, which was opposite to most models of plows. I could be wrong though.
Awesome video it's nice to find parts you and get rid of stuff you and senior are not using it is never fun playing in the mud but you have to live with the conditions it was 70 degrees here in northern Minnesota on Saturday afternoon after the rain stopped
Yeah, I don't mind telling you I had at least one illegal absence from CASHS for that Spring Carlisle show :D You can find about anything you want at Carlisle...and the same goes for Le Sueur.
East central illinois. Reminds me of farm sales I've been too. The buyers show up no matter what. Glad you had a safe trip. We have a 24 ft. Jayco flight. Love it.
Went down there Friday morning and met with a bunch of garden tractor friends at 5 in the parking lot. Me and my friend were the first ones in the gate at 6:00 sharp. I saw your stuff there but didn't see you, i guess i will meet you next year. I bought 2 manuals so not the most successful year but definitely one of the most memorable.
Pretty Cool video!! The old machinery you showed came from a time when the USA took pride in what they made! More and more people are seeing the value in that stuff and are saving it from the scrap yards. That D4 for sale at the swap meet should have followed you home. I figured out how to watch youtube on my big TV. Nothing good on...Turn on Squatch253!!
Lol I seen Chris video before this one lol that d4 looks nice on his trailer lol 😂 thanks for sharing buddy I wish I could get out to a show it’s been years 😭
I was there Saturday and it was so muddy you could hardly walk without falling down. I do plan on getting there again next year. Thanks for the video 👍
That "JD" sprocket is not exactly from the Martha Stewart Collection, but it looked like it would hold the heat fine on a windy, cold day. Not so practical for backpack camping. I loved your exchange with the guy at the gate. He yelled 'Squatch" like they used to yell "Norm" on Cheers. It's always a good day when you meet someone new and you're able to have a chat and a laugh.
The plain people communities in central Pennsylvania have what are essentially swap meets for farm equipment in early spring, which are generally referred to as "mud sales."
Old days. I grew up on a farm in Martin, Co and then moved to Blue Earth, Co back in the 50's-60's. It looks like Leseuer, Co is just northeast of Blue Earth, Co.
I would have traded the rain with you for the hurricane winds, smoke from fires in New Mexico and general dirt in the atmosphere we had. We need rain! Glad you are back!
My brother and I were trying to make it this year, third year in a row something came up and prevented us from making it. This year he had to have emergency surgery for his gallbladder the Tuesday before the swap meet. He is doing better thankfully, and as always, hope to see you next year at the swap meet! or maybe Rose City threshing this July with a couple cats?
Another successful weekend at the swap! Sorry I couldn't make it. A 3 year old in the rain and mud plus a 90 mile drive wouldn't have panned out too well I don't think.
I was set up right across from the church was a first time selling for me there . But sales were great sold alot of stuff and yes it was the muddiest I have ever seen it there
Many years ago when I was on the swapmeet trail I knew that on inclement weather meant that only the serious people were out. Really disliked the nice Sundays when Ma&Pa and the kids stopped in after church to look around and yell at the kids not to get dirty and ask stupid questions!!!! lg
The one time I was a vendor at LeSueur I was trying to sell a Champion 400 forge blower. I didn't go home with it because some cretin stole it. Not a good experience considering the drive from Texas. Rain is common for spring swap meets and shows. Portland Indiana, Mt Pleasant Iowa Pawnee Oklahoma are some I've visited that are known for the risk of mud.
Clio Mi tractor Show in Sept is the same way. Many times it rains and areas turn to mud. Fortunately I have a spot on a hillside so it not so bad. I sell mostly American made mechanics hand tools.
Damn. I'm nowhere near you, otherwise I would have asked you to pick up that Ford 8n pto belt pulley for me! In the mountains of Colorado, there aren't too many old tractors and are NO tractor swap-meets!
For all of the wind, it was a good thing that you had some weight in there. Enjoyed going, found some small things to buy but couldn't get any larger things cause they do not fit in the wifes car.
Question. I know that front idlers can be built up and cut back down. But, what about drive sprockets? Is there any way to refurbish them. Also, is anyone reproducing the Cat sprockets?
What a swamp! I am learning French and I suspected that "Le Sueur" was probably of French origin but I didn't know what it meant. Google Translate says that "Le Sueur" means "sweat". Perhaps that is a reference to the labors of the European settlers who tamed the area.
Well, that answers why Kyle made a video about making a new Cat starting rope. ( You'll have to add some patina to it! ). Don't you wish the snowmobile wasn't the first thing you put in the trailer before you packed everything around it?

Some of my fondest memories as a kid were the swap meets and antique tractor shows. Was like Disney World for a farm kid like me.

Four seasons in one day, sounds like springtime. That was a nice looking D4.

Thanks Toby!
But did ya buy it Kyle? 👍💪💪
@@TomA6788 Yes Tom, video will be up in the morning 👍
Cat's (CAT) out of the bag now lol. Now I'm excited
Toby It was nice to meet you and sr on Sunday. Thanks for being the eternal optimist that you are and making the most of the weekend no matter the weather. Its the people like you that make all the hard work to put this event on worth it.
Remember Squatch, John Deere and Caterpillar used to work together and shared diesel technology.

Great video squatch253! Congrats on the sales and the awesome buys. And yes Kyle absolutely needed that d4. Great buy for him as well. Cheers
Great video as always! No complaining always a positive attitude and some great video of some old equipment.
Reminds me of my days going to the Carlisle spring and fall shows.
Yeah, I don't mind telling you I had at least one illegal absence from CASHS for that Spring Carlisle show :D You can find about anything you want at Carlisle...and the same goes for Le Sueur.
We would have said HI Saturday but must have walked right by and not noticed. I am still feeling it trudging in all the mud.
Just goes to show how good those John Deere parts hold up, you can put them through damn near anything!! ;-)
John Deere’s never disappoint me.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍 Saw many things would like to have spent money I don't have on😱😱😂😂😂
well that was fun. its been the only swap meet I've been too so far this year, thanks squatch.........
11:02 -- OOOOOO love the Dodge motorhome! 75-77 ish. Makin me cry bout those sleds too. Surprised you didnt come home with another tractor.
East central illinois. Reminds me of farm sales I've been too. The buyers show up no matter what. Glad you had a safe trip. We have a 24 ft. Jayco flight. Love it.
That doall was the pinnacle of safety back in them days. 😆 🤣
@ 8:56 is a Chevy "Doodle Bug" tractor conversion. Really neat, not easy to find.
I wonder if the seller knew that... :-)

That D4 was different than the usual "Decent condition but the undercarriage needs a complete rebuild".
I was there Saturday between the rains, it was sloppy. I looked at bringing that grader home you featured but I ended up just getting tractor parts.
Looks like a good place to find parts. Thanks for the well put together video and your positive attitude when weather happens.
Holy crap that's a lot of iron to walk away with. I wish I could find a pile of plow bottoms like that!
I saw the D 4 before here lol 😆 😂
There was a lot of neat stuff 👍👍👍😊🌎🌞

That is a bizzare coincidence, at the very start of the video I said to myself "All hooked up 'n' ready to go" , a second later you said it! lol
On the Do-All final drive it looks like there is an inspection port close to the best place to check slack on a chain.
I was there Saturday and it was so muddy you could hardly walk without falling down. I do plan on getting there again next year. Thanks for the video 👍
Mud up to your ears builds character :)

Great to see so much old machinery still around.
Well, I enjoyed that, at least the snow was gone..
Sounds like a successful weekend. :-)
It must be a unwritten rule of rain/snow at any swap meet! Nice looking bottoms you snagged up!!
I was about to say wonderful weather to drive-through especially pulling a caravan and a Box trailer
The plain people communities in central Pennsylvania have what are essentially swap meets for farm equipment in early spring, which are generally referred to as "mud sales."
Toby, 6:20 that H has the same lever you paid a 10 spot for on the rear axle.? Awww, never mind...
Good news on the sales.
Old days. I grew up on a farm in Martin, Co and then moved to Blue Earth, Co back in the 50's-60's. It looks like Leseuer, Co is just northeast of Blue Earth, Co.
I just here for The Mud, The Blood, The Beer and the Old Iron😁
man great video! if it was only on Thursday it was pretty nice then !
I would have traded the rain with you for the hurricane winds, smoke from fires in New Mexico and general dirt in the atmosphere we had. We need rain! Glad you are back!
We’d trade some of that dry weather here in Indiana. We can’t seem to string together more than two days without rain…..getting really old…
Glad ya had a good time despite the weather
I could really use those ford coulter arms !!!!!! Been looking for 3 years in canada for some

Come on Kenny, we took our 4 month old and drove 200 miles haha, next year 👍
I’d rather drive a thousand miles with an infant than 30 with a three-teen. Good choice Kenny!

Thank you for the video.Don't like mud so much but like rusty metal.
Yay! First get together scavenging of the season! 😀😃🙂🙃😊
Kyle definitely needs that D4. He requires that D4. I'm so excited that Kyle got that D4. FanDamnTastic.
@@squatch253 do you know what senior got for his Olympic? Another great video, thanks.
@@squatch253 ok, thanks for the reply.

If you get stuck someone's bound to have a CAT to pull you out...Lol
with all those bottom plows how cool would it be for him to make a monster custom bottom plow for the rebuild cat????
We still getting freezing cold and snow out this way. We won't see rain for a month or two yet.
We had our F550 parked on top of a hill and facing downhill and still had troubles getting out in 4x4
Would have loved to had that wood body plane!
Clio Mi tractor Show in Sept is the same way. Many times it rains and areas turn to mud. Fortunately I have a spot on a hillside so it not so bad. I sell mostly American made mechanics hand tools.
Very good video 👍 👍 👍
They going to need a plow day to get that parking lot back in shape!
Kyle’s like Wilson on Home Improvement, never see his face !
This is the first farmer swap meet I have ever seen. I have already seen some great stuff I wouldn't mind have put a bid/ haggled a price on! 💵
👍🏽
Now that you found a T to go with the RD maybe next year you can find a J and a U for Kyle to complete the D4 collection!
There may already be a 7U in the yard lol
I have that same camel back drill press. Talk about American iron!
Just realized this show is 30 minutes from my dad's place, may have to check it out next year.
Spring weather has been rough.
Darn you selling all your parts.
LOL
I was here, wish I had the chance to see you. Would have said hi. Maybe next time :)
BTW swap meets are always fun, regardless of weather. More fun if it's just cool and sunny, but still fun.
Kyle got a sweet deal on that D4. Toby, was that some tin cover for a CAT where you had installed the 8 blow pieces?
Damn. I'm nowhere near you, otherwise I would have asked you to pick up that Ford 8n pto belt pulley for me! In the mountains of Colorado, there aren't too many old tractors and are NO tractor swap-meets!
Good video would have liked to been there 😀
just wondering what kind of prices were on the pulleys?
How do you like that Look enclosed trailer? I need to buy an enclosed trailer of some brand. Trying to figure it out. Thanks for the videos!
@@squatch253 thanks for the feedback! Your opinion is very valuable. Much appreciated
14:21 It's a Advance-Rumely DoAll. Tractor data says it was made from 1928 to 1931 with a Waukesha 2.8l motor.
Had a good time at a family event.
Maybe next year.
You sold the 2 big ticket items and that was good
It sucks the weather was so horrible. Spring Carlisle was this past week and had a few rainy days 😪👎
What is that stuff falling down? Is that the mythological stuff called rain? Haven't seen any more than 2 inches since December here in Nebraska.
Very KOOL
Hi I can not get to the places you. I like walking with you and listening to you describe what you see 🙈. Nice. Good Job

@@squatch253 Did you sell the, the I will call it a wheel socket wrench Do you know what size the ends were?
Very nice
KYLE really needs that D4 just for the tracks and below
Question. I know that front idlers can be built up and cut back down. But, what about drive sprockets? Is there any way to refurbish them. Also, is anyone reproducing the Cat sprockets?
Threshers association helped me get out of my parking spot and it was a pretty uneventful drive home....maybe it'll be drier next year?
U need that D4!
What a swamp!
