Arizona Flywheelers 2017 Event at Verde Valley Fairgrounds - 3





A 1957 John Deere 520, owned by Brian Bolton, is driven by Landon McKay in the Arizona Flywheelers Tractor pull held at the Verde Valley Fairgrounds in Cottonwood, Verde Valley, Arizona. Later Jim Randall pulls with his 1957 John Deere 720 diesel. Paul Joens pulls the sled back with his International Harvester 560, and Tristen Mulcaire, son of Jess and Shanna, drives a 1941 D John Deere. Jim Radley runs the blade on his Ford tractor. Paul Jacobson was there to assist throughout the day and was the main operator of the trashing machine powered by the "Pope mobile," a 1949 B John Deere. Lawrence Matthews operated the pulling sled. Brian Bolton assisted with the pulling sled, along with Kit Adams and Dennis Weckerly. Other volunteers also assisted. Several members of the "younger generation" assisted the "old timers."
