My Farmall H Raffle Prize

I am 16 years old and I say this is the best $20 I’ve ever spent. Our local Ohio Chapter 6 IH Club teamed up with St. Henry FFA, and the students restored this tractor, then raffled it off. I decided to buy one raffle ticket which was $20 and, well I won! This tractor is a 1950 Farmall H, and it means the world to me. It’s shaped who I am today. 

Since I’ve had it, I’ve got a plow, and an International 46 baler that I use to bale hay for my 4 steers. Ever since I’ve got this tractor I have developed a passion for antique farm equipment.. I’ve been learning how to work on it and diving into the ins and outs of farming back in the 1950s. Overall, this tractor has drastically changed my life and shaped who I am today, and I’m so blessed and honored to own a Farmall.
