John Deere 3020 Hi-crop

09/27/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

The first time I saw this 3020 Hi-crop tractor I told my friend that was with me at the time whoever buys this tractor is crazy!! It was in terrible shape it had been rolled over, the front end was broken and had been welded up, the electrical wires were all burnt up, tin work was all dents and weld’s, didn’t run, and so on. But it had the serial tag! After about 6 months of thinking about the tractor I decided to send the number in to be researched. It came back as a true Hi-crop power shift transmission, built March 20,1968 shipped to Salinas, California.

Now I’m the crazy guy that bought the tractor!! Wow what a restoration project that was, finding Hi-crop parts was a challenge. Mechanic work was done by Jeremy’s Shop planada, California, New parts were purchased from Steiner tractor parts inc. and others from Tractoropolis Fresno, California.

After three and a half years it was ready for paint and decals. What a difference from the day I purchased it. Now this 3020 gets used on long tractor rides, and tractor shows. When I look back now and see what I’ve learned along the restoration process and how much I enjoy it, maybe I’m not that crazy!

1951 John Deere A Restoration

09/20/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

My Grandfather traded in a B on steel for a new John Deere A 1951, it was his pride and joy, a neighbor who is long passed would tell how Grandpa was so proud to be able to drive down blacktop to get farm necessities, it was a main workhorse on the farm

Plowing, planting, harvest work, silo filling with the belt on filler. At 4 years old it was the first machine I learned to drive 60 years ago. Through the years it was neglected as bigger equipment became the norm.

A couple of years ago my brother in law and I decided it was time for a restoration.

With the help of Steiner parts and fun work we have progressed to almost completely done, a little tinkering and rear tires and wheel paint, it will be done for my grandchildren to enjoy

Over 28 Tractors Restored

08/14/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

My husband, David Briggs, got interested in tractor restoration back in 2004 when he took on a 1948 H Farmall, basically out of the scrap yard, and completely restored it. Nothing delights him more and gives him more pride, than to take an old tractor that doesn’t run and get it running. Over the years, he has collected over 28 plus tractors, mostly John Deeres and Internationals, but a few McCormick Deerings. Thanks, Big Time, to Steiner, for having all the parts and decals we need to restore our tractors.

John Deere A
Cash Hutchens first birthday photo posing with his tractor and his paps in background!

A John Deere June birthday; the perfect way to celebrate turning one year old! When Cash hears his pap’s 1949 John Deere Model A fire up, he runs as fast as he can to hitch a ride! There’s no doubt this boy will grow up loving, restoring, and pulling tractors with his pap.  We look forward to watching him and his love for tractors grow!
