2011 - LaGrange Engine Club

February 2011
Dear Club members,
2010 was a great year for the LaGrange Engine Club. The Barn project was in its final stage of
completion and the painting and lofts were completed in time for the Show. Thank you, to all those
who worked so many hours to bring this project to an end.
Our spring warm up was blessed with great weather. We had many tractors in the field and a good
size display of engines. Every year this becomes larger as people are anxious to start the engine
show season. Thank you Gordon family, for opening your barns and fields for this event. Please
check our web site for the date of this year’s warm up or contact one of the board members.
This year’s Lorain County Fair was one of the best ever. The weather was great and the crowds
were large. The Club had a large display of working engines and tractors. The people that came
through the Barn were very impressed. If you have never displayed at the Fair consider doing so
this year. We enjoy the visitors and have a great time showing our equipment.
The 2010 Engine Show was probably our largest show ever. The grounds were filled to near
capacity and there was something for everyone. On Saturday we experienced some traffic problems
which we hope to address before the 2011 Show.
I want to thank Jim Schmitkons for his many years of service as Chairman. He has guided the Club
through the Barn Project and brought us into the computer age. With his help we secured our 501c3
Tax Exempt status. He has worked behind the scenes providing his expertise and talents for the
good of the Club. Jim has graciously agreed to serve in an advisory capacity for the Club. Once
again THANK YOU.
Please continue to promote our Club and our Show.
Thank you for your support

2010 Election News
We had election of officers in November and Jim Schmitkons made the decision to step down. Jim has been
Chairman since 1997 and has guided the Club through the Barn project. He was instrumental in securing the 501c3
non profit status for the Club. Jim has been instrumental in bringing us into the world of computers and makes it all
seem so easy. He has assured us that he will continue to provide our members with his expertise in the running of
the Club .
John Baker will be taking over as Chairman and will continue to work for the good of the Club. As you know John
has been instrumental in setting up the Small Engine Area and working with the Heritage Barn project. We know
that he will do a good job.
2010 Flea Market Wrap Up Report
In 2010, the flea market had its best year to date, 428 sites were sold to 219 vendors. This was the first year that we
have run out of spaces and actually turned a few people away. This happened in spite of adding several more
spaces throughout the flea market area and expanding the area to the north all the way to the 4-H horse show ring.
2011 contracts will be mailed to current vendors and those who requested them at the show in mid-April. An aerial
map of the flea market area is posted on the club website, www.lagrangeengineclub.com, for those who wish to see
where their site is or to determine an area they would like to be moved to. The 2011 contract will also be available
on the website after the current vendor contracts are mailed and may be downloaded by new vendors. Returning
vendors, please use the form mailed to you as it already has your address and site information on it. Also we would
appreciate it if you would include a contact phone number so you may be contacted should questions arise. Also, we
have started receiving phone calls from visitors after the show looking for particular vendors to buy more items. If
you do not list what you are selling on your form we have no way of directing them to the right person.
Please remember that if you wish to be moved to a new site in 2011 spaces are assigned in the order payments are
received and that returning vendors are assigned before new vendors. Returning vendors must have their money in
by July 31 or risk losing their current spaces when re-assignments begin in early August. Since we are starting to
run out of space before the show starts and prime spaces or blocks of spaces go fast, don’t wait until the last minute
to reserve your spaces. Beginning in 2011, should we sell out of sites, we will be starting a waiting list for those
desiring to attend if someone has to give up a spot at the last minute. The policy will be that these spaces will return
to their original vendor the next year if they were paid for before the show began but contracts will be extended to
those who were placed on them in their absence.
IF YOU LOVE THE SHOW, WHY NOT TRY SOME OF THE OTHER GREAT EVENTS
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR?
LORAIN COUNTY FAIR
Fair week was great fun for the Club. The Heritage
Barn is nearing completion and we had many
exhibits both in and around the Barn. The weather
was great and the Fair set record attendance
numbers. We welcome our members exhibits and
hope you will consider displaying at the Fair next
year.
SPRING WARMUP
The Gordon Family Farms was the place to be on
April 24th. Tractors and teams of horses were busy
plowing the fields. Engines were running and the air
was filled with their sounds. We had a large crowd
for the potluck lunch. This is the beginning of the
Show season and the talk is of the coming shows and
a chance to exhibit the projects that filled the winter
months. If you have not attended the warm-up
please put this on your to do list this spring. This
year the date is May 1 at Gordon Farms. Directions
and additional information is on our web site www.lagrangeengineclub.com
FALL PICNIC
October 17th we had the Fall picnic at the Heritage
Barn. The Club provided the pork roasts and we
had many delicious side dishes. About 50
members enjoyed the day and great fellowship.
Put this on your schedule for next Fall.

FEATURED RESTORATION
By Bob Baumann
My fascination with tractors and engines began as a small boy on a farm
in Henrietta, Ohio. My grandfather with whom we lived in the large
farmhouse was my mentor. He was 71 years older than I was and semiretired. I say “semi” because he was the “fix-it man” for all the
maintenance and repairs on the farm. My father was too busy milking
cows, making hay and crops and operating 23 acres of orchard to teach
my brother and me to be mechanics.
After graduating in agriculture from OSU, my farming career was
interrupted by the draft. I enlisted in the Navy, became a diving officer
and was assigned to a heavy repair ship. I was placed in charge of one of
five shops to repair ships of all types. My division was hull repair that
included all the piping, ducts, steel plating, woodwork, canvas and
underwater hull.
At 2010 Show
Due to a barn fire while I was in the Navy, my father sold the cows and my career path changed again. On release from the service, I
returned to OSU to become a veterinarian. Now, I was spending 70-80 hours a week repairing animals instead of tractors and ships.
This demanding schedule postponed my hobbies in woodworking and fixing and restoring equipment. Now, semi-retired myself, my
hobbies take front stage and I still have the 1936 John Deere I learned to drive when I was 5 years old.
Last year, I purchased a Jaeger cement mixer with a 1½ H.P. Hit-n-Miss engine. The engine was a Hercules model S manufactured in
1921. The engine was rough looking due to all the grease and oil collecting the cement and sand dust. Being nested tightly in its own
compartment made service and cleaning difficult.
I removed the engine from its compartment being unable to get it to run. Once I cleaned the gas line and reseated the check valve, she
started and ran fairly well, but the gas problems didn’t end there. The varnish was so thick in the tank that the filling tube was 90%
clogged and the check valve continued to malfunction. It ended with a new fuel tank.
I began to work on the layers of grease and dirt with kerosene to soften it and a putty knife to scrape it off. I accumulated about a pint
of this concretion using kerosene and an old paintbrush to remove all the
dirt from the gears, shafts, castings, etc. I was finally able to see the color
of the paint and pin stripes.
I cleaned 8-10 tablespoons of rust combined with oil that had leaked into
the cooling tank. The drip oiler had a cracked glass and the drip pipe
passes through the cooling tank to the cylinder. I replaced the drip oiler
after completely disassembling, cleaning the glass (inside and out),
polishing the brass, and recoating and reassembling it.
Now it is down to the fine tuning, sandblasting and painting. Here is
where my expertise and equipment is lacking. I turned to a club member
who does this for a living. Hence, Bill Hassee to the rescue and he did an
outstanding job. While he was painting and putting it all together, I built
a skid to mount the engine.
The “Before” and “After” pictures tell
the whole story of the restoration. Now
it is on to the next projects of the
cement mixer, plow, treadmill, post drill
press and a forge blower.

2012 NEWSLETTER

always looking for new and exciting content to keep the readers on the edge of
their seat.
FEATURES
Ford: Did you know that in the early 20’s over 70% of the tractors in
the world were built by Henry Ford? Henry wanted a tractor that
would replace a team of horses on the family farm. He priced his
tractor to cost no more to own than the team and as a result sold for
much less than his competition. The other result was in the 20’s he
ran the tractor business at a loss, which probably didn’t mater since
at the time he was probably the richest man in the world, thanks the
Model T.
Hercules: In the first half of the 20th century Hercules was one of the
largest engine manufacturers in the world. Founded in 1917 they
concentrated on heavy-duty industrial engines. During the war
they produces over one million engines for jeeps, trucks and all type
of equipment. They survived the war, building engines until the
end of the century.
Get ready for next year, the show features will be John Deere
tractors and Novo engines!!!
LEC TRACTOR GAMES
The Tractor Games were just for the sport of it. There were no winners or
losers, or records kept. There were eight tractors that came out to play this
year. Everyone who played had a ball. The games were fun and went smoothly.
There were three volunteers from the club to run the games and keep it safe,
Mel Hale, Bob Bauman and Mike Hengartner. Come give it a try next year.
Barrel Roll
Slow Race
See who can be the last to reach the finish line - 50 feet away - without stopping or stepping on the clutch.
Fast Race
Line up tractors with engines shut down and drivers facing the front of their machines. At the start, drivers
get on tractors, start them, and go as fast as they can - 50 feet to the finish line.
Back to the Post
The post is tippable with a ball on top. Tractors begin facing the post. The driver turns the tractor around
Back to the Post
and back the drawbar against the post without knocking off the ball. Timed event.
Blind Farmer
The driver drives blindfolded through an obstacle course in the lowest gear possible. A navigator standing
on the drawbar directing the driver through the course without hitting any markers.
Wagon Backing
Back a wagon into the back of a tapered space without going out of the boundaries. Measure how far the operator is able to get in.
Barrel Roll
The driver must roll a barrel 50 feet between two boundaries. No backing up is allowed. This is a timed event. We have a better barrel this year so come & try it.
Egg Balance
A tablespoon is clamped to the driver's drawbar. With an egg placed in the spoon, the driver must drive through an obstacle course without losing the egg
LORAIN COUNTY VINTAGE MOTOR SCOOTER CLUB
A Letter from Allan Murphy, Scooter Club President
The Lorain County Vintage Motor Scooter Club first became part of the
LaGrange Engine Club show at the Lorain County Fairgrounds the year that they
moved from LaGrange to Wellington, 1992. We began with a small area and
only five scooters. This past September there were nearly 30 scooters at the
fairgrounds. All were not in our now enlarged area, but with Engine Club
members and their displays.
Our club started with only seven members in the summer of 1992 after the Lorain
International Festival Parade. We now have in excess of fifty members. Some
of our older members are no longer physically able to show their scooters, but we
still get a good of assortment of several different models of Cushman, Vespa and
Whizzer Motor Bikes. Some years it is not unusual to find a Smith or Briggs &
Stratton Motor Wheel or even a Lambretta. Our members have some of the
nicest restored scooters you will find anywhere. A few on display have won
national trophies through the Vintage Motor Bike Club.

THE BARN IS DONE!
In the spring of 2006 our club was asked by the Lorain County Fair
Agricultural Society (Fair Board) to participate in a joint project to
move a turn of the century barn to the Fairgrounds. The barn was
one of the display barns on the original Lorain Country Fairgrounds
in Elyria. At first appearance it looked beyond saving, but it was
structurally sound. After much discussion we agreed to the project
The barn was disassembled and reconstructed in its current location.
The first phase moved the barn and replaced the roof. At that point it
looked like a pavilion without sides or floor. That winter there was
some concern that a good storm could blow it over, but it survived.
The second phase poured the concrete floor. Last summer, we got
the walls up and this summer finished the inside and painted the
outside. Volunteers from our club did much of the work. Here are
some pictures start to finish.
Original Location
Elyria, Ohio

Ken Farnsworth
When Ken Farnsworth passed away in August 2010 the
club lost an active Director. He was involved in the
Heritage Barn restoration from the beginning and was
an enthusiastic supporter of the Consignment Auction.
His laughter always made folks smile.
