FFA Restoration Project

The International 1466 is my FFA restoration project, which won its class at the Iowa State Fair in 2022. The Farmall H was my great-great uncle’s tractor, bought new in 1952. It has been kept in the family since then and was my restoration project for the 2021 Iowa State Fair. The John Deere 4450 is one of the first few tractors my dad bought when he started farming, and it’s always been one of my favorites.
