On the Wednesday before the annual tractor show in Mason we drove some of our tractors over to the grounds. That night we had a near record amount of rainfall after a long period of no precipitation. Thursday at work i got a call from my dad to go home and change into nasty clothes and come to the grounds. I arrived to see my tractors in the middle of a lake! We set up camp at a low spot and all the rain collected where we were. The water had almost completely submerged the small tractors, but had gone down overnight and morning to where the photos are here. We towed them out, I dried them out, changing all fluids, and got all but one running for the show. When the weekend was over I used my son's Broadmoor to tow home the 2110, which never ran again. But the Landlord 101, the Broadmoor and the Yeoman 616 were running for the show. I also got to meet two guys from a Simplicity tractor blog that have been more than useful and friendly in the Simplicity community.
