Here are some pics I took of some restored equipment at Mascon.
And some more
I went to the national show they had in Connecticut. I saw that little B/E 10 loading trucks and the Allis Chalmers dozer pushing up piles. It.was a good time. They also had a restored Northwest 80D loading trucks too! I have a short video my buddy shot for me of the 80D. When I figure out how to post it I'll show it.

In response to JLC, let me save you some additional head-banging by giving you a heads-up on the HCEA's 2009 show: 2009 HCEA Antique Construction Equipment Show Come to the Historical Construction Equipment Association's 24th Annual International Convention and Old Equipment Exposition! Friday, Sept. 18th through Sunday, Sept. 20th, 2009! The show features demonstrations of horse-drawn, gas and diesel-powered antique construction machinery, hit and miss engines, antique trucks, and much more! Equipment and vehicles built or powered by International Harvester is being featured, along with machines in the National Construction Equipment Museum collection. Unlike our past shows at the Museum, we actually get to build something this year! Scrapers from the Museum’s collection will join those owned by HCEA members in digging a one-acre pond on the site, with the spoil being used to create a massive pile of dirt for the shovels and excavators. Members of the Black Swamp Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society will be showing their vintage trucks on Saturday, and they’ll be joined by members from other chapters in the area. We also feature historical displays, dozens of memorabilia vendors, an equipment and parts auction Friday evening (consignments invited), and a membership banquet on Saturday night, with tickets $20 for adults and $10 for children. Show hours are Friday, 9:00 to dark; Saturday, 9 to 5; Sunday, 9 to 3. Admission per person 12 or over is $5.00 daily or $10.00 for a weekend pass.

HCEA, Are there any places to park camper or motorhome close to this?
Great pics thanks for sharing. That shovel is really small, had to be the big ticket back in the day.
Top Dog and all, yes, we have primitive camping (no water or power) on site, and there are a couple of good public campgrounds within a few miles of us. Bill5362, it was rated at 3/8 cubic yard, about the smallest common size back then.
