October Featured Photo

Written by Rebecca Thomas
Leave a Comment

October’s featured photo was submitted by Jason Anderson and features a 1957 Ford 900 series owned by Rich and Mary Houzner of Elroy, Wisconsin.

About 6 years ago the Houzner’s were in need of a tractor to handle some of the smaller jobs around the dairy farm. When they found this Ford tractor they liked the old style and thought it’s smaller size would make it suitable for their young boys as they started learning to operate farm equipment.

This Ford tractor has done all that and more! It’s become a family favorite to rake hay and corn stalks with and was the perfect edition to the Houzner’s all Ford / New Holland implement fleet.

September Featured Photo

Written by Rebecca Thomas
Leave a Comment
September’s featured photo was submitted by Cary Bolton. This photo was chosen as a winner in our annual photo contest and will be featured in the 2019 Steiner catalog.

 

“This is a 1963 Massey Ferguson 65 tractor with multi-power. I purchased it at an estate sale. It had been rode hard and put away wet many times. I am going to split the tractor and put in the necessary seals and check the clutch. I also need to go through the hydraulic system. The tractor runs but needs a good tune-up and the exhaust system fixed. I have been looking for parts in various places but was delighted to find that the steering wheel is available new from Steiner at a price close to ones found at salvage yards. I will go with the new one! I need to do alot of work on the seat before I can order new cushions, which i’ll get from Steiner as well. I will take some more pictures and send them along after I get it going again. Before I fix this one though, I am going to work on a 1963 Massey Ferguson 50 that needs less work. Those parts will come from Steiner as well.”

August Featured Photo

August’s featured photo was submitted by Bill Adams. This photo was chosen as a winner in our annual photo contest and will be featured in the 2019 Steiner catalog.

 

Joe Tarbet, a good friend of Bill’s that restored this Oliver 550, helped Bill start collecting and restoring antique tractors. Joe found this Oliver 550 in a very dilapidated condition at a cotton gin yard near Lamesa, Texas. In its last years it had retired from plowing and was used to pull cotton trailers around the gin. Bill watched Joe restore this Oliver 550 and several years later when Joe decided to liquidate his collection, Bill was fortunate to be able to buy it.

June $200 Gift Card Winner

Written by Rebecca Thomas

The winner of the June’s $200 Steiner gift card is David Knox Stone
of Colbert, Georgia. David has been a Steiner customer for over 5 years
and has a 1956 John Deere model 70 diesel (pictured).

“I have owned this tractor since 1977. It is original and unrestored, and it is still a working tractor. Our family calls this tractor Big John, as my late brother had a model 420 John Deere we called Little John. Since both the tractor and I are beginning to get on in years, it is about time to begin to dress Big John up a bit. I have already ordered several replacement parts from Steiner Tractor, and I hope to pick up a few more. The Steiner catalog is a great “wish book” for a tractor geek, and the videos you provide online have been helpful on several occasions. They say nothing runs like a Deere, but nobody keeps them running like Steiner.”
