The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Midwest Bolters Association Swap Meet in Adrian, MO - March 27-28, 2026

For anyone in the MBA, but more accessible for folks in the Kansas City Metro area, we have the Western Missouri Antique Tractor & Machinery Association hosted Adrain, MO 2026 Swap Meet coming up soon.

Friday and Saturday March 27th & 28th from 6AM to 5PM located at the Adrian, MO "Frontier Village" (108 W. 6th St, Adrian, MO). It's about a 45-55 minute drive South of the general KC Metro area.

The guy that's running the Swap Meet is a friend of KCMongo. He and I are currently planning on attending most likely on Friday.

Any fellow MBA Bolters interested in attending and maybe meeting up? If so, we look forward to seeing you!

Well, just a quick wrap up report on the 1st Adrian Swap Meet. KCMongo and I went down yesterday afternoon and I went back down this morning as I was told that several vendors weren't going to be there until Saturday. Very small town but there were more sellers than I expected. There were more tools there than almost anything else, but none I couldn't live without - hahaha. I did find a nice 1 gallon metal fuel tank with adjustable mounting brackets and an outfeed line connection with working shutoff valve which I will repurpose into a temp fuel source for test-stand starting my 261. Worth the $5 I spent and it was just fun to wander and see what was there.

Looking forward to the next swap meet.
