Tractor Stories – 1955 Farmall 100
I wanted to thank everyone at Steiner for all your help and advice on my restoration. You all were very helpful and it was greatly appreciated! There are a lot of Steiner parts on this tractor and thanks you Steiner it turned out great.
This tractor was bought new by my Great Grandfather in 1955. He used the tractor on his farm in South Alabama for many years. My Grandpa has told stories to me about using the tractor when he was in his teens and some were very interesting. One of his stories was when he was plowing on a hillside and turned the tractor over, bending the muffler and bending some of the sheet metal. After taking it to the dealer it was fixed and was back to work. After my Great Grandfather passed away the tractor was passed down to my Grandfather and then to my Dad.
The last time the tractor was used was around 1986 or so and has sat on an old fence row ever since until I decided to restore it. The engine was full of water and many hours of restoration was spent getting it looking and running good again. But it was well worth it. I attached some before and after pictures. Again Thank you very much for all your help.Blake Terry
