The hot weather kept numbers down slightly at the annual two-day festival at the Rally Grounds next to Maitland Station.
Tractors, chaff cutters and water pumps were on display as well as vintage cars, bikes and trucks.
The rally also featured old hand tools.
Show organiser Peter Draper said the goal was to keep the old machinery working so future generations have the opportunity to appreciate it.
"The main thing is trying to get the interest in people who don't see this kind of machinery anymore," he said.
"It's gone now and we're trying to keep it alive, bring back some memories of yesteryear and show how things were once done."
Mr Draper said visitors from as far away as Sydney, Macksville and Gunnedah attended the rally.
Some of the highlights of the event included a tractor pull, steam engines, vintage trucks and a 1906 International Auto car.
