Keck-Gonnerman and Ford/Fordson To Be Featured At 2013 NTA Reunion

The National Threshers Association will hold its 69th reunion Thursday through Sunday, June 27-29, 2013, at the Fulton County Fairgrounds in Wauseon, Ohio.

Billed as the country’s oldest and one of the largest events of its kind, the show features antique steam and gas engines that paved the way for modern gas and diesel powered equipment. From agricultural to industrial to personal use, the event relives this bygone era with a variety of historic demonstrations.

The 2013 NTA reunion will feature Keck-Gonnerman steam engines, as well as Ford/Ferguson tractors and equipment. In addition, a variety of other restored engines test their power on full size and ½ scale sawmills, grain threshers, double incline, prony brake, Baker fans, power eater and weight transfer sled. Equipment will also take to the surrounding fields for plowing demonstrations (weather permitting). A sanctioned antique tractor pull will take place Sunday at noon.

The Fulton County Fairgrounds is located on State Route 108 just north of Ohio Turnpike exit 34.
