While demonstrating how to start a tractor that features a crank shaft, Kelley Hulsey, former president and founder of the Southern Illinois Antique Power Club, explains that few individuals have a working knowledge of how to operate and maintain antique tractors properly - and even fewer understand how tractors revolutionized America's agricultural industry and strengthened our connection to the land and past generations. Hulsey is committed to passing on his knowledge to younger enthusiasts through the activities of the club he helped found, which hosts the annual Antique Power Days on the Marion County fairgrounds in Salem. Now in its 20th year, this year's event will be held from September 11-13.
