Norman Brown of Jay begins his tractor pull attempt in the 2,000-pound division as sled operator Steven Lee sits behind him on the sled at the Oxford County Fair in Oxford on Saturday. In the foreground is flagger Don Pease. Brown’s tractor experienced some problems with the carburetor during the pull. Asked if he’d fix it, Brown said, “I can’t get my hand in there — it’s too hot.” (Brewster Burns photo)
