Each year the Ford/Fordson Collectors Association has it's annual meet in conjunction with an established tractor show in a different area. In 2002 it was held in Republic, Missouri. The annual F/FCA meet always has the largest turnout of Fords of any show in the country. This year's show had several unique and interesting tractors and displays. Many thanks to David Laigle and Marv Baumann for providing most of the photos here.
