The tractor belonged to my Grandma Bohl. It was her “car” back in the day.
A customer, Ron Rack, who is also a photographer of antique tractors & cars was in our store and asked to take a picture of the tractor which has our old Ford tractor sign mounted to it. Zimmer Tractor has been a Ford-New Holland tractor dealership since 1960 in Brookville, Indiana.

“Pictured is my 801 Ford Powermaster. I inherited this little workhorse from my father when I bought a farm from him. He’d picked it up in well used condition to have something to mow with. For him, it was a sentimental purchase – the 801 was what he used on the farm as a kid with his brothers and my grandfather. He said he remembers getting the exhaust red hot they worked it so hard and it never let them down. My son made the 801 a feature for one of his high school senior pictures because it fits that iconic and country style that only a good ol’ farm tractor can do.”
“Steiner helped me get the steering box repaired and a few other pieces fixed up to keep her going for many more years. Many thanks for your time and my sincere thanks to Steiner for a GREAT catalog and help keeping parts available for the tractor world.” – James Thompson of Marshall, Missouri

I have always liked tractors. When I was still very little, I would sit on all the tractors I could at the fair or a parade. Then, for my 13th birthday, we found a 1951 8N Ford not far from our house. After looking it over with my folks and Papa giving it the okay, I got it! The tractor didn’t need any major work done to it, just the cosmetic things. It was in its “work clothes” so Dad said I should get it cleaned up. I did and I have it “standing tall”. After clearing away grease, grime, oil, and dirt I gave it a good waxing.
“Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance”, Papa has reminded me of this countless times; good stewardship. Not long after getting the Ford, I was blessed with a Ford-Ferguson 2 bottom plow. I later used it to plow with our local tractor club (the Chariton River Valley Antique Power Association) for their annual plow day. In May 2022 we purchased a rear blade from a gentleman from our church! I have had the 8N at several tractor shows and am hoping to have it in a tractor ride soon!
This photo was taken when I came home from hauling our trash cans about 1/4 of a mile up the level B road we live on. It was muddy that day!
