1952 Farmall M

05/23/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

This 1952 Farmall M was restored by Hunter Breese in 2021 for the JBDewar Tractor Restoration Education Program. The tractor was gifted to him by family-friend Jeff Smith. It was bought new by Jeff’s family and stayed in the family until gifted to Hunter.

1953 International McCormick Farmall Super A

04/12/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

This is my 1953 International McCormick Farmall Super A. No, it isn’t shiny and new, although some parts have been repainted. Why, because at 69 years old it’s still doing work.

This tractor came to my family in either 1973 or 1974. We moved from closer to town, out into the country, and my Dad purchased it to use on our small farm. Where you say, Gwinnett County Georgia. Those who know it, know it’s now basically Atlanta, the city has reached out. Meanwhile, I still live in the vicinity, so my tractor mostly works at some leased hunting land. Bush hogging, food plots, and the like.

Way back when we got the Super A, my Dad and I rebuilt the engine, I still remember going to the local tractor dealer and getting the parts. He went with the oversized pistons and sleeves for more power. The head was rebuilt by Bailey’s Machine Shop, a local business like the tractor dealer that no longer exists. He must have done it right, it has served well over the past 40+ years with no major issues and still has good power.

I plan to pass it along to my son and grandsons someday. What a great old tractor. The picture is me and my family at The Bostwick Georgia Cotton Gin Festival, a great tractor event.

Jesse and Grandpa’s Tractor Time

03/24/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

When my Grandson, Jesse, was less than a year old he began to ride with me on our tractors, and you could see the smile show his joy in anything tractor. He was born with a heart issue and spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital, but when he came home he was ready for a tractor ride.

We had a Kubota cab tractor, John Deere skid steer, Farmall H, and I bought a Farmall Cub just for him. He loved to work on the tractors, fix flat tires, and bush hog the pastures. Every Friday at the end of a long work week, I would get a cold beer, Jesse would get a Root Beer and we would ride the tractors, he called it Tractor Beer Friday. This became a tradition that I will always cherish because Jesse passed away recently at 4 ½ years old from a ruptured artery.

He may not physically be with me but he is always riding with me on the Farmall Cub, observing Tractor Beer Friday.

Collecting Farmall Letters

03/05/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

1941 Farmall BN

This is my 1941 Farmall BN that I fully restored. It started out as a quick restoration but many problems arose including a cracked engine block. My parents bought me a 1941 Farmall A for my 13th Birthday, I used the engine out of that tractor to put in the BN. After two and a half long years the tractor was sent off to paint and body at Super City Auto.

1941 Farmall BN & 1943 Farmall A

The tractor means a lot to me because my first tractor a 1943 Farmall A, was owned by the late Ray Miller from Hoversville, Pennsylvania, his favorite tractor was a BN.

That same tractor was the tractor I learned to drive. I bought a BN because of the connection to Ray and a BN is the first tractor I drove, I could not be happier that I have a connection to Ray.

I could not have restored my BN without the help of Al Miller (Ray’s son), Ken Fisher (my Grandfather), and my dad, Jim Summers. I am hoping to collect the entire letter series in the future but for now, I am currently planning an Antique Tractor Show at my local State Park, in Laurel Hill Pennsylvania. The show is called Tired Iron and will be held on September 30th, 2023. I’m hoping I can use this show as my eagle scout project down the road.

Some background on Connor

Connor did not grow up on a farm but has always had a love of tractors. He is an “old soul” and is mature beyond his years. He spent hours researching them and learning everything he could. At this point, he is a walking encyclopedia of Farmall. He lead the restoration of his tractor and made all of the decisions based on what he had learned. This resulted in an outstanding restoration, that is the talk of the local tractor community.

Connor is a hard worker. He started his own car detailing business to earn money to help pay for the project. He would save up money and then order the parts he needed. Most of the parts came from Steiner Tractor Parts.

In addition to being an honors student, he is committed to his scouting career and is determined to earn his eagle scout rank. His plans for a fall 2023 tractor show, is a way for him to bring his love of tractors and scouting together. He plans to make the tractor show an event that gives back to the community while raising money for his scouting troop. Connor enjoys the outdoors and spends time camping and fishing with his family. He lives with his mom (Tracy) dad (Jim), younger sister (Everly), and chocolate lab (Bentley).

The information above was provided to me by Connor’s very proud parents, Jim and Tracy. 😊

1953 Ford Golden Jubilee & 1954 Farmall Super A

02/24/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

1953 Ford Golden Jubilee and 1954 Farmall Super A

This is my 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee sitting beside my 1954 Farmall Super A. The Ford sat in the woods for 30 years. The owner would come by and clip around his property twice a year. He would take a jack in a wheelbarrow for the woods jack up one rear wheel and spin it to crank the engine. After he passed the timber was cut and the property was sold. A friend of mine bought the property and put the tractor behind his shop. One day he dropped by and saw my Farmall. He gave me the Jubilee he wanted it to look like new again.

The engine was seized but with the help of Marvel Mystery Oil and rocking the rear wheel it broke loose. I restored the Jubilee in two months. All the parts came from Steiner Tractor Parts. It does not use oil or smoke. I pull a 6-foot finish mower with it. This is one of five that I have restored and 90 percent of the parts came from Steiners. They are great people.

Antique Tractor in the Snow

02/23/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

It was the day after a big, heavy snow in New Hampshire. I took a newly retired friend of mine, looking for classic images. We found this old tractor overlooking the Connecticut River into Vermont. We spent a good amount of time trying to capture it in its snow-covered majesty. The location of the tractor is on River Road in Westmoreland, New Hampshire.

Restoration for Awareness

01/28/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

tractor restored for awareness
1942 Farmall H

My name is Ken Christopherson, and I restored this 1942 Farmall H with the help and donations of dozens of other people and companies (Steiner Tractor Parts included)! This tractor originally belonged to a best friend’s uncle who used it as a Halloween hayride tractor for many, many years. I was contacted by them in 2015 to see if I was interested in purchasing the tractor as they were liquidating their equipment due to the hayride coming to a close for the final time. I ended up purchasing the tractor that had been sitting parked in the woods for over a decade. The engine was stuck, and I was amazed the tires still held air. After getting it home and getting it running, I began to think how it would be a great candidate for a memorial restoration project.

Tractor restoration for awareness

Over the course of my life, I have lost several friends, coworkers, and my mother to suicide, and I thought that the best way for me to give back, bring awareness, and also to promote the antique tractor hobby would be to tackle this project.

I charged head-on into a full nut and bolt restoration of this H. After tearing it down, things were MUCH worse than I had anticipated (as they usually are on these old relics). From the engine having been well used up, and the transmission case having suffered bearing failures and cracking in the casting itself, this was truly the biggest challenge I have tackled to date (after bringing over a dozen tractors back to life).

Restoration for awareness
Restoration process for awareness

Without the help of dozens of donors, companies, etc., this would have never been possible. I added some special touches throughout the restoration, including items that were chrome plated (see if you can find them)! The tractor now lives a semi-retired life and travels to shows, parades, and vintage plow days with a variety of suicide awareness memorabilia to help promote and raise awareness for these tragic life events that have touched nearly every family in some way. It has been a great honor to have been able to do this project (which took nearly 2.5 years).

I have also chronicled the entire project on my YouTube channel (Kenny Kizzle Rusty Nutz Ranch). I hope that you all enjoy the story – and if you see the tractor at a show, be sure to stop and say hello! Most importantly, if you know someone who is struggling – please reach out. You never know how far a smile, a laugh, or a hug may go.

1940 Farmall H

01/16/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

Hello Steiner Family, my name is Oscar Flores. I was raised in California but as soon as I was able, I knew that this concrete metropolis was not my style or way of retirement.

My in-laws retired and moved back to their birthplace of Olathe, Colorado, we followed along and purchased some land with hopes of retiring in this beautiful small town. My father-in-law was into old tractors and I soon gained a love of old vehicles and tractors. When my in-laws passed away, my wife and I decided to purchase our retirement home in Wilmot, South Dakota. This area is a largely agricultural town/county with lots of old barns and farm equipment.

While shopping for yard decorations, I found the tractor I was not only looking for but happened to be in pretty good shape and runs great. My tractor is a 1940 Farmall Model H, this now begins my fun journey of restoring my tractor. I hope to be able to pull wagons in some of our small-town parades. The restoration of my tractor will go well with my fully restored 1931 Ford Model A Pick Up Truck, and 1954 Ford Squire Woody Wagon. I am always looking for the next project in my life. I look forward to sharing my restoration with you all!!

1940 Farmall A

01/13/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

This is my Grandfather’s 1940 Farmall A. He purchased it secondhand in 1953 to work the 18 acres of land he and my Grandmother farmed and operated a roadside stand for decades. It has sat in the back of the barn since the late 1980s until recently, with the help of my wife’s nephew, I have been able to restore it to working condition and I now use it to mow the lawn on our property.

Stories from 3 Veterans

11/11/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

By Larry Droessler, Carl Friederick, and E.S. Kaiser

Photo by Steve Prestegard, Platteville Journal

The background is the world’s largest “M”, an iconic symbol of the mining tradition and the history of the University of Wisconsin Platteville. The Platte mound “M” was developed using whitewashed stones.


1958 John Deere 420: Larry Droessler, US Navy, served aboard the USS Mahon (DLG-11) Tonkin Gulf, Republic of Vietnam service.

I had just graduated High School and was free as a bird doing what I love to do, Farm. Young enough 18 years old then and still had time to party with friends at night, played in a band most weekends, and still had the ambition to work hard on the farm all day. I was in the barn one day about finished with the morning milking of our herd of cows and my sister came up to me and said Mom has a letter she wants to show me when I come in for breakfast. When I got into the house and sat down to eat my breakfast I could tell right away that my Mother was very nervous about something, and then she showed me the letter that I had received that said I was to be drafted into the armed services.

I figured my future was somewhat planned out for being a very young man at the time, and Bang, overnight things had changed big time. I didn’t have much choice because at the time rumor had it that I couldn’t get a farm deferment because I had brothers that also helped on the farm.

After much thought in the short notice that I received even though I hated to give up my farming and future life dreams, I decided not to look into the deferment option any deeper. My Father said he always wished he could have passed the test when drafted in World War II but they didn’t take him because of his flat feet. All other thoughts put aside, I decided to join the U.S.Navy, following the footsteps of my two uncles who served in World War II, one uncle was at the Pearl Harbor bombing.

I then received notice that I should report to boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois. Boot camp was somewhat a breeze, a challenge but because I was fresh off the farm the tough physical activity was no problem for me.

I was not in California too long and off I go to Vietnam. The first night we arrived there I was on the midnight watch. At first site you would have sworn we were at the largest 4th of July fireworks ever, but after coming to your senses you knew this stuff was for real. Don’t have the time right now, nor do I want to get into the Vietnam war issues any deeper, but I can tell you that it is one way for a young man to grow up quick.


1958 Famall 450: Carl Friederick, US Army, Combat Engineers, Armored Personnel Carrier Division, Republic of Vietnam service.

I grew up on a farm in Iowa. I was the youngest of six brothers and 2 sisters. We lost my one sister at the age of 3. I went to a rural country school. There were only 12 students in the school from first grade to eighth grade. The name of our school was Salem School which was about two miles from home, and I had to walk year around no matter what the weather. Of course, it was uphill all the way from home and to school!

I started at a Catholic High School and wasn’t going to be able to graduate because I failed religion class. My Dad couldn’t let me go to Summer school because I had to stay home to make hay.

At the end of that Summer, I enlisted in the Army and was promised I would not be sent to Vietnam. I chose to go to France. Unfortunately, DeGaul, President of France, kicked the USA out of his country. I then had a choice to go to a very nice country or home. I was so homesick I chose home. With that choice, I lost my promise of not going to Vietnam. After 30 days of leave, I was sent to Virginia and got jungle warfare training which was bad as the country itself. After twelve months in Vietnam, I finished my tour in the U.S. After I was discharged I started a gas station and got married. From the gas station, I added a few odd jobs and then was an antique dealer. That job lasted for the next 40 years.

From 1965 til today Vietnam is still with me physically and mentally (and so is my wife of 52 years) who has suffered with me. I am now retired and doing small odd jobs living the big life.


1970 Massey Ferguson 135: E.S. Kaiser, US Navy served aboard the USS Mars (AFS-1) Hai Phong Harbor, North Vietnam, and Tonkin Gulf, Yankee Station, Republic of Vietnam service.

I grew up in SW Wisconsin on a dairy farm caring for dairy cattle, hogs, and chickens. In addition to livestock chores, we tilled and spring-planted oats and corn and harvested the crops in the summer and fall. Our machinery consisted of a Ferguson TO 30, Minneapolis Moline Z, and Farmall 460. I still remember the day my dad purchased the 1958 Farmall, with a mounted 2-row corn picker. He purchased the tractor and corn picker from an implement dealer in Potosi, Wisconsin. He drove the tractor and picker home and parked them in the yard. As a small boy in excitement I ran out and climbed up the ladder and sat in the seat, and amazed as I stared at the gold and silver IH monogram underlined with power steering.

At the young age of 9 years, I began plowing fields with the Ferguson TO30. I cultivated with the Minneapolis Moline Z and picked corn later with Farmall 460, as well as all of the maintenance duties required to be performed on the equipment.

To this day we still have all 3 tractors on the home farm in SW Wisconsin. These tractors require maintenance, and it is comforting to know that I can get parts from Steiner Tractor Parts, which I have done over the years. Lynn, in special orders, was very helpful with a part for the Farmall 460 years ago.

During the years 1959 to 1975, the Vietnam War raged in SE Asia, I had 3 older brothers who enlisted in the Armed Forces and shipped out to Vietnam. I graduated from high school, enlisted in the US Navy, and went to boot camp in San Diego, California. While in boot camp I volunteered for duty in Vietnam and was assigned to a combat supply ship named USS Mars (AFS-1). The ship was homeported in the Far East, and the assignment was for a 3-year tour of duty in SE Asia, Vietnam. For the next 3 years, I answered the call of duty, with combat supply missions performed in Hai Phong Harbor, North Vietnam, and combat supply missions performed in the Tonkin Gulf, Yankee Station, of South Vietnam.

I completed my tour of duty to Vietnam and returned home, and enrolled in college at the University of Wisconsin – Platteville. I graduated with a degree in Industrial Safety while putting myself through college with the GI Bill. After college, I received a commission in the US Army and went back on active duty. I spent a 1-year hardship tour to Johnston Island, in the Pacific Ocean, destroying chemical weapons left over from the Cold War. In addition, I completed a tour of duty to Operation Desert Storm, Doha, Kuwait, collecting air samples from the oil well fires in the desert.

I retired with 30 years of service in the US Navy and the US Army. I am a sick and disabled Vietnam Veteran due to exposure to Agent Orange.

Featured Photo – Farmall Super H

11/03/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

Farmall Super H

This Farmall Super H has been an invaluable part of our farm. Its versatility to be utilized in all aspects of farm life has made it our go to tractor for everyday tasks…not to mention it looks good doing it! Although putting up hay is our main use for it, we enjoy entering it in tractor pull competitions as it has proven to be a workhorse in its stock condition. In memory of the previous owner, Bobby Rowland, who enjoyed it as much as we do now. He sadly passed away in 2016.

October Parts Review Winner

10/27/2022 by RT Leave a Comment

October’s $25 Steiner gift card winner is Bob Reavis of Jarretsville, Maryland. The winner is randomly drawn from all of the parts reviews submitted to us during the month of September. Congrats, Bob!

“I have had this 1949 Farmall Cub for more than 30 years. In 1983 I built my house on a 3.5 acre lot. Funds were tight due to construction, but my father gave me his old 8 HP lawn mower to use. This worked, but I usually cut grass for 2 days, and needed something bigger. A local man offered this tractor with the Woods mower deck already attached. What a difference this made. 30 later, I still use it weekly during the mowing season.”

“Thanks to Steiner tractor parts, I have been able to keep this running and in good shape. I just retired (at age 70) this year, and plan to keep the tractor running as long as I am able. Thank you again for the many years of support I have received from Steiner!” -Bob Reavis.

1942 Farmall H

10/14/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

I’m the Fourth generation to put hands on this 1942 Farmall H. After a Four year restore of mostly nights and weekends here it is.

In it’s farming days here in Vermont, the H was mostly used to mow with a John Deere number 5 sickel mower. Nowadays it stays parade ready, but every once and a while the John Deere mower will go on, and the H will be returned back to work. Just far less of it.

1952 Farmall Cub

10/12/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

The tractor is a 1952 Farmall Cub, and I have done all the work myself. Purchased 3 years ago, brakes didn’t work but I used the plow to stop. Other little things started to go and the hydraulic pump started leaking, now it’s time to fix the problems!

I enjoy working on anything with a carb. I also own a green one that I’m going to start pulling with next Spring. It’s a 1948 John Deere A.

Two John Deeres and a Cub

09/26/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

1953 John Deere 50, the last tractor my grandfather owned bought it back last summer. And got it working and running again with parts from Steiners. 

The next tractor a 1961 Cub Low Boy with Danco C2 mower, was bought from an elderly gentleman whose health was failing. In two years’ time fixed it up and repainted it with help from Steiners. Definitely made his day when we dropped off the pictures of his old cub in its dress clothes.

The last tractor is my first antique tractor 1948 John Deere B bought from my great uncle in 1993 at thirteen years old.   I learned how to drive on this tractor and learned how to fix tractors from this machine.  I’m a self-taught mechanic after hours of reading old motors manuals. And working on this old iron for friends, family, and neighbors. Thank you Steiners for having affordable good quality parts to keep history alive and working.

1941 Farmall Pulling Canon in Parade

09/13/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

My wife April has wanted a Farmall H for about 5 or 6 years now, and I was not sure what we would do with one. Just the same, she had several of her farm friends keeping their eyes open for one, but they are not that easy to come by here in the Northeast.

Recently, a local collector sold his entire collection at auction and we were lucky enough to get this beauty!! I must admit to being fully onboard with this new “hobby” and am having a blast learning how to maintain and continue the restoration of our 1941 Farmall H!

As part of our town’s Fourth of July celebration this year we used our H to tow the town’s vintage 1862 cannon in the parade!

Farmall M-D

08/10/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

This is my Farmall M-D. It is the diesel version of the M. My great grandpa used to farm down in Minburn, Iowa with this tractor. It has over 9000 hours put on it and is in clean shape.

When he died it sat around the main farm for a while before coming up here to Southern Minnesota. Grandpa used to take me for rides all the time on this tractor. Once I was old enough to drive it, he would say go pull it out of the shed. Let’s go for a ride.

My grandma said to me one day, “what should we do about that tractor sitting out in the shed?” I said, “I don’t know”. “Well I think it should be yours.” The M-D is my baby. I always think that my great-grandpa would love to see me driving the tractor that he had. I take great care of it and always will. I am proud to say that it is mine now and hopefully great-grandpa is watching from heaven. Love you and miss you.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.
