President’s

Message:

Mary and I enjoyed

being invited to a

Solar Eclipse 2017

party but, we heard

that Mike and Steph

traveled to see it at

―ground zero.‖

Thanks to the Ryan

family for another

great Ryan Ramble

to Pt. Reyes and to Frank Squire and fellow members

for their educational outreach at the SIRS luncheon.

Kudos should also go to Ed Rose and the Keystone

Cops for giving Model T driving lessons and thanks

again for Ed’s ―T‖ presentation in May at Bolt’s

Museum.

The McGregors and Hrens will represent NCRG as

celebrities with Nash entries at the upcoming

Ironstone Concours, which will feature 100 years of

the Nash Automobile. Mike and Stephanie’s

Plymouth, CA Vintage Camp Trailers Tour and

Pharis’ Ladies Tea and Gentleman’s Drive should be

fun events. Also, Roger Mitchell is hosting another

enjoyable evening to benefit the Rio Linda Fire

Truck #2 restoration in October.

Now that we survived the Solar Eclipse, let’s get

those old ―Motors‖ back on the road!

Tonight it will be show and tell. Bring in a

about the unique items our members have.

Editor’s Message:

God bless Texas and Louisiana.

For those of you with family and

friends in those flood and

tornado ravaged areas, we pray

for their safety. The devastation

is horrible.

I received several nice comments about the

McGregor’s 1908 Rambler story in last month’s

newsletter. It was definitely an interesting story

about the former owners of their Rambler and seeing

photos as well. Well done, McGregors!

You will be seeing some stories about NCRG tours

and other fun stuff in A Blast from the Past that

were published in the HCC of Nevada’s Steering

Column that Stan Nicolaus shared with me. Thank

you, Stan!!!

Thank you Milt Webb for the photo disk of the 2017

Ryan Ramble. The disk will be added to our media

library for preserving the history of the NCRG.

VINTAGE JOHN DEERE TRACTORS

By: Sue Hill

On Saturday, August 19, I rode with Bob and Helen

Hopkins to Oroville to see the Bolt’s Antique Tool

Museum’s presentation on vintage John Deere

tractors. Mary and Garry Gunderson and Jim

Matson and Amy Williamson from the NCRG were

also in attendance. Rod Hiskin and Dax

Kimmelshue were the presenters and shared some

fantastic old tractors. You know how excited we get

when we get an old car that looks like it should be

tossed rather than restored, but sink time, sweat

equity and money into it and are elated when it is all

done and saved from the brink? Well, these tractor

guys are the same as us. They pull these old relics

out of toppled down barns, hunt for parts, share

knowledge and get the things restored. They are just

as elated at their accomplishments as we antique car

folks.

We got to learn the difference between a John Deere

―I‖ and an ―O‖. Have you ever seen a non-John

Deere green tractor? If you have, it was probably an

―I‖…Industrial. The counties and state road crews

could have them painted any color they wished...the

one we saw was painted orange. The John Deere

―O‖ is for Orchards.

The tractor that intrigued me the most was the one

with streamlined back fenders (below). It is an ―O‖

model. The fenders were built that way so when they

plowed between a row of trees, the tree limbs would

not get broken. You don’t think of this streamliner

as a fast machine...no farmer wants to go 50 mph

between a row of his/her precious trees...it goes nice

and easy at three mph.

One special thing about Rod Hiskin, a cancer

survivor, he created a Tractors for Humanity event.

He painted a tractor pink and sold tickets so people

could have a chance to win it and gave the proceeds

to the American Cancer Society as well as to a local

cancer organization. Since then, there have been

Tractors for Humanity painted in many hues to

benefit Autism, Veterans, etc. Talk about giving

back! His idea caught on in the John Deere group.

After the presentation the NCRGers headed to our

favorite buffet for lunch and chatter.

1959 John Deere, 620 “O”...orchard tractor.

Bob Hopkins

1940 County

Road

Maintenance

tractor. John

Deere “I” for

Industrial.

A toy John Deere 630 Orchard!!!!

Toy replicas of all the tractors on display outside.

I recommend these presentations to everyone. I have

only given you a smidgen of what we learned about

these old farm tractors and highway maintenance

machines.

Note: I was particularly amused when Dax talked

about restoring “antique” cars such as a “Road

Runner” (Plymouth). After the presentation I

talked with Dax and shared my amusement of his

term “antique” and explained that the NCRG has

really “antique” cars such as a 1914 Mitchell

speedster and Bob mentioned his 1915 Hudson.

It’s all relative, they say, as Dax is a young guy and

an “antique” car to him would definitely be a 1960s

era “Road Runner.”

CAR SHOW CAPITOL FREE WILL BAPTIST CHURCH

August 20, 2017

While Leta Nichols was attending a family reunion

in Oklahoma, John was spending time viewing the

cars and tractors at the Capitol Free Will Baptist

Church car show in North Highlands. While there,

he spotted Warren and Donna Berg and snapped

their photo and posted it on Facebook.

In addition to old cars, Warren and Donna Berg have a

nice old original condition tractor that he demonstrates

on Farm Days in Rio Linda in May of each year.

FORDSON TRACTOR

By Sue Hill

While at the John Deere presentation, we were

reminded that in the early days, tractors had steel

wheels which after a while would rust. Plus they did

not give good traction. Pneumatic tires were finally

made which gave the tractors a much better pull in

the fields and orchards.

When the Hopkins family first moved to California

we had a one-acre parcel

with home and almond

orchard. Bob Sr. bought an

old Fordson with metal

wheels similar to the one

pictured so we could plow

the orchard. Dad would

start it up so my brother could do the plowing. It had

a crank start as does the one in the photo.


A Blast from the Past From the HCC of Reno’s Steering Column, April 1955

SACRAMENTO’S STATELINE STAMPEDE

The Northern California Regional Group invaded

Nevada on March 15th, when more than 40 members

made a tour by chartered bus to Stateline, Nevada for

an evening of fun at the Lake Tahoe resort area.

Although none of the group drove an antique car, all

brought the genial Horseless Carriage camaraderie

along with them and although their bus did not arrive

at Stateline until nearly midnight, everyone enjoyed

this stampede excursion.

The weather, which had been ideal for the preceding

week, suddenly changed for the worse during the

afternoon of March 15th, and a moderately heavy

snowstorm greeted these stampeeders as they entered

mountain territory.

Near the top of Echo Summit they were delayed for

more than an hour when a snowplow sideswiped

another bus, blocking the highway. The temperature

being somewhat below the level to which these

hardy characters are accustomed, was moderate

slightly by applications of mild anti-freeze and it is

reported that some of the more venturesome passed

the time with a snowball battle while the bus was

delayed.

A cocktail party and buffet luncheon awaited their

arrival at Stateline as did several welcoming

members of the Nevada Regional Group.

Immediately after their arrival all adjourned to the

South Shore Room of the Club as guests of Bill

Harrah.

A highlight of the occasion was the center-piece of

the dessert table; a lifelike antique automobile cake,

edible in every little detail, even to the gas lights and

bulb horn.

Throughout the early morning hours, it continued to

snow but no one minded much. There was more

excitement inside as the machines were attacked by

this visiting group.

Those members of our neighboring California group

who made this trip were: Wendell Binning, Andy

and Connie Biondo, Ed and Bernice Catlett,

Sylvia Davies and Edith Reid, Joe and Josephine

Ellis, Robert and Anne Hopkins, Art and Prue

Kallgren, Gene and Vi Largin, Archie and Jon

McCalla, Burl and Marge McCormick, Wayne

Nickel, Larry and Bernice Ocheltree, Marion and

Pearl Ocheltree, Herb and Cora Showalter,

Gordon and Sylvia Soderman, John and Tillie

Taylor, Shorty and Nita Tompkins, Gwynne and

Elma Vanciel, Otto and Jean Van Gorder, Henry

and Isabelle Vogt, Dean and Gladys Walden and

Betty Aventi.

From Reno the following members of the Nevada

Regional Group were present: Lee and Van

Jellison, Donna Parke, Bill and Scherry Harrah,

Wes and Helen Clark, Al and Dorothy Nisbett,

Sam and Anne DeBolt, Bob Ring and Lee

DeLauer.

Enjoy these Blasts from the Past provided from the archives

of Stan Nicolaus...stories about the NCRG. Former HCCA

President, Sam DeBolt was editor of Reno’s Steering Column

for several years.

HATS FOR SALE

What a charming illustration of a hat shop back in the day. Note the hobble era skirts as well as

the hat pin holder on the display table filled with a few hatpins. The hat styles then (ca 1915-

1920) were becoming smaller rather than the very large hats of the very early 1900s. Very chic!

Bolt’s Antique Tool Museum Presents: “The Biking Bolts”

Not many people know that in addition to tools, the Bolt family embraced a passion for long-distance motorcycling throughout several decades. This photo shows Bud and Laila on their 1969 Harley Davidson Electra Glide on one of their three trips across the country. Before the internet, this was probably a viable method of “tool hunting” as well! This month, Alex Bolt, (grandson of museum founders Bud and Laila Bolt) will present a collection of photos and anecdotes from his family’s many motorcycle adventures all around the U.S. Their sons, Mike, Steven and David are cycle enthusiasts as well; with Steven’s trip to New York and back and Mike touring the Mississippi River to Baton Rouge to Texas, Las Vegas and back to Reno, Nevada. If you have a motorcycle, ride it to the museum for all to enjoy!
