McCullough shows tractors
Dave McCullough of Gorham displayed his enthusiasm for vintage tractors over the weekend.
He took part in the annual Maine Antique Tractor Club annual plow days hosted by Bill Rust at Rusty Knoll Farm in West Gorham. Tractor buffs attended from around the state.
McCullough drove a 1947 Mighty Mite, which was manufactured by Jaques Power Saw Tractor Co. He said a 10 horsepower Briggs and Stratton engine powered the tractor.
Nolan McCullough, 4, sat in the driver’s seat of a 1962 David Bradley tractor that was distributed by Sears & Roebuck.
Nolan is the son of Andy and Donna McCullough of Gorham. She said the family found the tractor in a yard sale for $50.
Dick Larrivee of Windham, a club director, said the oldest tractor at the event was a McCormick Deering from the 1920s.
