Grey Fergy Tractor Muster - Bendemeer 2009 There were 139 Grey Fergies at Bendemeer in April 2009 - this was 5 fewer than last year but in view of the economy and the drought, it was a very good effort by the organisers and the attendees. Bare-Co was proud to support the Bendemeer Tractor Muster and has done so since the first event in 2003 |

Our Managing Director (Allan Bare aka. Cecil B. De Mille) put together a video of the Muster which can be downloaded from the link here: DOWNLOAD MOVIE Note that it is in "wmv" format and is quite large (11 Mb). |

Bare-Co supported the event with a large trade display. |
Part of the trade display organised by Bruce Worgan (Tamworth Branch Manager) and supported by Bare-Co Head Office. |
Bill and Dean from Independent Bearings & Spares Pty Ltd (a Bare-Co dealer) were on hand to cater for sales on the day. |
|
|
Interest was shown in Allan Bare's restored Triumph TR3 which uses an engine of similar design to that in the TEA 20. |
The back of the restored R.H.Bare Vanguard Service Van was used as a theatrette to show some rare colour footage including Fergy tractors under constructiuon at the Banner Lane factory. |

|||
The display of Bare-Co parts suitable for Fergy tractors and the 3 restored tractors on display attracted considerable interest. |

More Grey Fergies than you can "poke a stick at". |
Here, some of the Fergies are preparing to join the parade route. |

Allan Bare had a 1951 Vanguard Service Van and 1948, 1955 and narrow Fergies on display and in the procession. |
The parade occupied the full length of the main street of Bendemeer giving the large crowd a close look at 139 Fergies and numerous support vehicles. |
