Florida Flywheelers

I spent a very enjoyable afternoon at the Florida Flywheelers antique engine club located at 7000 Avon Park Cutoff Rd in Fort Meade, Florida. This is a sprawling 240 acre property which has many pieces of vintage farming equipment on display. Much of the equipment has been fully restored which makes for an excellent parade of antique tractors. There were lots of antique engines, pumps, saw mills, and a period village with many old buildings on display as well.
Here are five guys putting a dismantled Model T Ford back together in running condition in less than 4 minutes!Get a load of this bad boy 1952 Ford.

I've got more photos but this will have to do for today.

Karen, I'm sure Elson and Merv would like to see some of these old tractors. Tried as I might though, I just couldn't find an old Case tractor like you guys used to have.
