The tractor is a 1951 Massey Harris model 30. It has the original F162 Continental Engine. It is owned by Paul Moroni of West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. It was purchased locally from the original owner.
Paul has restored it and owned it for over 20 years now. It has become part of the family. It will someday be passed down to his daughters.

The Chevron Tractor Restoration Competition (formerly known as Delo TRC) is celebrating its 25th year and now accepting entries for the 2022 competition!

The competition awards prizes totaling up to $20,000. For more information, visit ChevronTRC.com
My father-in-law, Dennis White, retired in 2013. He decided he needed a hobby and took an interest in locating tractors to restore. To date, he has fully restored 13 tractors and is currently working on his 14th.
Dennis retired from being a mechanic at a tractor implement dealership where he worked on farmers’ tractors every day. So, it only makes sense that his love for tractors did not stop at retirement. He continues to add additional tractors to his collection as he comes across tractors that need to be restored. As a family, we enjoy sharing these tractors with others by riding in numerous tractor rides, parades, and sometimes just a stroll around our town on a nice day.

My husband, David, purchased this 1941 SC Case at an auction 6 years ago. Since he purchased it, it has been in numerous parades and displayed in our front yard for Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day weekends. It has also participated in the Mackinaw Bridge Drive twice. He uses it around the farm for light-duty jobs. If you mention a parade or tractor show, David will be there to participate.

Originally utilized at a farm located near Ann Arbor, Michigan. As technology brought new tractors, this Co-Op was then utilized to haul crops from the field to the farm for storage. The tractor was discovered in the field row, almost out of life, and purchased. It was re-built to the current condition by Gary Baker and Warren Townsend. In its new life, it is a Division 2 puller and has won numerous pulls it has entered. It will spend the rest of its life within our family.

My name is Mason Smoker and I am 14 years old. I have a dream of farming for my whole life. I just bought a Farmall M to farm and pull with. It is a fairly stock tractor, but some little upgrades. It has an M&W live hydraulic kit on it, a homemade hitch, and front/back weight bracket. I have taken it to the antique tractor pull and it did well. I love antique tractors and will always do it the old way.

My tractor is a 1954 Allis Chalmers WD-45. It’s been in our family since the late 1970s or early 1980s (not exactly sure when it was acquired). I use it for planting food plots and general tasks around my 40-acre hunting parcel in Gladwin County, Michigan. It’s definitely an old workhorse!

This is my grandfather’s 1947 Case VAC. My grandfather retired in the early 2000s from dairy farming. Once retired, he was not very active, and my family knew this would be a problem. As a solution, my family purchased this tractor and presented it to him for Father’s Day. The plan was to help him restore the tractor, and he could then take it to the local fairs to show and pull it in the antique tractor pulls.
He pulled this tractor for many years and won many trophies with it. It helped him get out of the house and stay active, especially during the Summer months. Unfortunately, he is no longer able to use the tractor due to his age and health, so I have taken the tractor under my wing and started pulling it and having fun with it as he did for many years.

1953 Ford Jubilee, with Davis Loader. I have owned this for 21 years! Great little tractor.
About 19 years ago, I completely disassembled and rebuilt everything. It has been fun using it in tractor pulls, putting in lawns, pulling firewood, plowing snow, plowing, and discing. I have the original bucket, but use the bigger one I designed and built.

This was my wife’s grandfather’s Ford 9N, he got it new in 1943. When he passed away it sat in the barn for 30 years. My wife’s dad wanted it so bad, and when his mom passed away she left it to him.
I took it and restored it for him and he was so happy with it. He would just go out and set on it for hours. Now he’s gone and my wife has it. It will go to our son next and I hope it will stay in our family. The Family Ford 9N.

Thanks for featuring older tractors working hard. Thought you might be interested in seeing my hard-working 1941 Ford 9N with loader and back blade clearing a lot of snow up here in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
This tractor has been doing this work on our rural property for over 30 years.

We are buyers and sellers of vintage tractors, based in the UK.
This Case L tractor was purchased from a fellow collector in Devon recently. It is a striking tractor with a great presence and a powerful sound to match!
The serial plate of our tractor begins with 440 which allows us to date this as a 1940 build, which would have been one of the last built before the Case LA took its place on the production line.
Very little is known about the life of this tractor but it has clearly been sympathetically restored at some point.
Kindest regards

This Ollie was built in Charles City, Iowa and sent to Brighton, Michigan. It was then sent to a dealer in St Johns, Michigan who must have leased it to our Lake Odessa Canning Company where we assumed it remained for several years as my wife’s brother and their father purchased it somewhere in the mid to late 1960s.
Larry farmed with it up into the 1970s when he purchased a larger White. Their father did not want it sold so he bought it from his son and kept it for odd use around the farm. Before he passed away, he gave it to his daughter Kathy who I married.
The tractor was left in the upper area of the barn and pretty much remained until we decided we needed to get it running and bring it to our barn where we could fix her up. One thing turned into another,…..first front tires weather checked,…which means clean up the wheels (sandblasted and powder coating to get it down from the upper level of the barn). Cleaned gas delivery system, started her up,….we drove it to its new home.
Fall was setting in so we power washed it and parked it in our barn for more going over. Long story short,……I worked on it most of Winter 2019 and we could see it was now more of a restoration than simply getting it working. We started back in the Spring when COVID rolled in. Lots of phone calls and parts trips to several Oliver junkyards,…..sanding and painting,….gas tank renewal,…..new gauges, many hours wiring we eventually parked it in our yard to remove back wheels and tires,….THAT WAS A BIG EXPENSE! But now all new tires and powder coated wheels,…..NICE!
By the Clarksville Steam and Gas Show she was ready to make her way to visit the public. Grandson Ben Scobey drove her the 6 or so miles to the show and she sat for others to check her out. We still have a couple items to work on yet,…front axel bushings need replacing and the clutch could use some help. It has the Power Boost so that may be a major job.

A strength to draw inspiration from, like the East Tennessee Smokey Mountains, this 1939 Model A John Deere joins primary “Seasoned” caretakers, David Banks and Golden Retriever sidekick, Whiskey, when taking care of a 6th generation family farm.
Although the Model A was not in the best of shape when first making an entrance to the farm, after much-needed care and repair, it now works beautifully when answering the call of an active farm life.

Dwight has known this tractor since he was a child. It was on the Irwin dairy farm down the road from Dwight since the early 1950s. Mr. Irwin passed away in 1988 and his daughter gave it to Dwight in 2017 as a partly assembled, abandoned, rusted, frozen-solid hulk. Dwight carefully restored it with the help of some of his grandkids (a few in the photo) who watched, encouraged, learned, and enjoyed the process over three years. Dwight uses it to help farming neighbors and to work the 21 acres behind their church. He showed it at SteamUp! in Salem, Oregon in August 2021 and will enjoy taking it to a few local parades.
