2019 Convention

Please share your images of the 2019 International Convention and Old Equipment Exposition which was held at the National Construction Equipment Museum in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Please be advised: If you want your images to appear in a specific order, upload the images individually, rather than in a batch, and upload the last image in the sequence first. If you upload more than one image at once, there is no way of controlling the order in which they will appear in the gallery.

 

Also, you can add captions to your photos, but there is a 200 character limit, including spaces, to their length.

  • The featured machine was the TD-24 crawler tractor, exemplified by this 1953 machine owned by Corporate Member Geo. Gradel Co. of nearby Toledo.
  • The Museum’s 1930s Allis-Chalmers Superior-McCully 10” gyratory crusher, powered by a 1913 Port Huron traction engine and fed by the 1926 Link-Belt K-2 crane, Big Bertha, was a new attraction.
  • The Museum’s 1964 Cat No. 12-E motor grader and regular operator Charlie Scherer build up a section of road in front of the Power of Yesteryear building.
  • Heavy earthwork with the National Construction Equipment Museum, as the 1942 Manitowoc 3500 loads the 1964 Mack M30X end dump.
  • Corporate Member Geo. Gradel Co. showed this lineup of restored IH crawlers. . Left to right: 1953 TD-24; 1956 TD-18; 1945 TD-14; 1950 TD-9; 1953 T-6; and 1951 TD-6.
  • Another highlight was no less than 56 trucks, including this 1920 Nash dump truck.
  • Board members’ machines at work, as President Bill Annechini loads National Director Dean Wack’s 1951 Euclid 1UD end dump with his 1964 Michigan 85A Series II wheel loader.
  • Over thirty farm tractors were on hand, including this 1960 Farmall 340 that was being shown by the Historical Engine Society of Burton, Ohio.
  • Wes Slaubaugh’s 1947 I-H TD-14 pulls Ed Slaubaugh’s 1935 Allis-Chalmers big No. 14 pull grader. The model number on the grader indicates a 14-foot moldboard, quite large for a pull grader.
  • A considerable stockpile of donated grindings was available for use on both the road project and emergency repairs due to rain. Mark Gerber’s 1965 Cat D-6C works the pile.
  • Joint venture? National Director Dave Geis’ 1953 Euclid S-7, lettered for Goochco Construction, is pushloaded by HCEA Corporate Member Geo. Gradel Co.’s TD-24.
  • Another of the three traction engines on site, Tim Myers’ 1912 Case 40 horsepower machine, pulls the Museum’s 1929 Galion E-Z Lift No. 10 pull grader.
  • Show co-chairman and Schramm parts dealer Jim Arras organized this impressive display of Schramm compressors. Absent is the Museum’s 1963 COUH 125cfm Pneumatractor.
  • This 1962 Schield Bantam C-350 is equipped with an optional hydraulic tilt cylinder for the bucket, a feature offered by many cable backhoe manufacturers in the late 1950s and 1960s.
  • Dennis Campbell’s 1957 Cat D-2 tidies up around the dirt pile.
  • Lakeside Sand & Gravel showed several machines, including this 1966 Allis-Chalmers D motor grader equipped with an optional rear loader that was first produced by Tractomotive.
  • Lakeside Sand & Gravel also showed this 1920 White 15 dump truck.
  • 1. This ca. 1951 Mixermobile Duoway Scoop has a cable-operated loader on one end and a small hydraulic dozer on the other. The operator sits crossways, and only the loader end is powered.
  • A 1937 Galion Junior Patrol is powered by a McCormick-Deering tractor power train and chassis. Doubtless, the fellow in back is using his cell phone to get the latest video feed from the factory.
  • Later I-H Payline products were represented by this 1982 TD-15C owned by Jensen Construction. It bears both I-H and Dresser decals, reflecting Dresser’s acquisition that year of the Payline line.
  • Demonstrating toploading of scrapers, a 1949 Bucyrus-Erie 10-B shovel drops a load of grindings into a Euclid S7 motor scraper. Jim Gangle owns the shovel, and owns the scraper jointly with Don Martin
  • A 1943 GMC CCKN Deuce and a Half dump truck, owned by Lakeside Sand & Gravel, proudly bears the Seabees logo.
  • Jack Krueger’s 1937 Allis-Chalmers M pulls his and Joe Krueger’s 1920s Galion Little Premier pull grader.
  • Will Wingo’s 1957 Cat D-4 sports a home-made canopy and Hyster D-4N winch.
  • Here’s the other 1937 Galion Junior Patrol. It’s owned by Joe Krueger, and is on an I-H I-12 tractor chassis.
  • Drott loaders were very often associated with I-H crawlers, such as this 1961 T-340 owned by Lars Larson, complete with the iconic 4-in-1 Bucket.
  • Drott loaders weren’t used exclusively on I-H machines. This 1948 Allis-Chalmers HD-7W sports a Drott loader attachment that predates the skid loaders made famous on I-H machines.
  • Neither did I-H use only Drott loaders! Here is a TD-6 with an LTD 6 loader built by attachment manufacturer Greenville Steel Car Company of Greenville, Pennsylvania.
  • Jonathan Houck’s 1954 Oliver AD lends some assistance to the Museum’s 1929 J. D. Adams Leaning Wheel No. 7 pull grader.
  • Along with being the equipment registrar and handling miscellaneous tasks as needed, John Sams also helped keep the grounds in shape with his 1950 Huber Maintainer.
