What is your tractor’s story?
Last year’s photo contest was a big hit and left many people asking for more tractor stories. So this year we will be hosting a tractor stories contest. Did you find a rusty tractor that needed restoration? Did you inherit the family tractor that has kept the farm running for over 50 years? Or did you just catch the antique tractor bug? Whatever it is, share your story and photos with us!
The contest opened for participation on Friday, April 1, 2011 and will run through Wednesday, June 15, 2011. We will announce the winners on July 4th via our website, e-mail, Facebook© and Twitter™. They will be featured in our 2012 catalog and will receive bragging rights among antique tractor enthusiasts everywhere!
Anyone with an antique tractor, a digital camera, a great story and a desire to win is encouraged to enter! You do not have to be a current customer of ours to participate; however, if you are a customer, feel free to make note of the products you used for your restoration in the story. Dan Steiner will have the final vote on the winning story. Each individual is permitted to submit up to three tractor photos.* The photos must be less than 3MB to upload through the website (though we may contact the winners for a higher resolution for print purposes).
Be sure to use the built in share features to share your entry with your social network including family and friends. The more voting, the better! Also, if you provide more details about the make and model of the tractor and the location of the photo(s), you are likely to entice people to vote for your tractor.
Just for participating you will receive a "My #1 Tractor" mouse pad with photo opening to proudly display your tractor photo.

Good luck!
Tractor Stories – 1950 Case VA
Our 1950 Case VA was bought new by my Grandfathe and has been on this farm since. Parked in the 1970's behind the barn, it was in bad shape. When my 16 year old nephew Jake talked us into a restoration it took about a year, with lots of work from Jake, his dad Bob and myself. All work including, body and paint was done in Bob's shop. The decals and wiring harness from Steiners added the finishing touch. Jake has since started his apprenticeship as a heavy truck mechanic. I told everybody if we got this tractor running I would drive it in the Brooklin Spring Fair Parade. We finished it in time for June 2010 parade.

Tractor Stories – 1950 Case DC
This 1950 Case DC almost had a life in the scrap yard until I saved it from going. It has been in my family since it was brand new. My great grandfather used it to run a threshing machine and a 4 bottom plow. My friends and family said "Just take it to the scrap yard it isn't worth anything". I said "No, my grandmother drove it, it is going to be running again". Now after Summer and Fall of 2010 it is all done. I would like to thank Steiner's for the brake linings, tool box and the magneto. Next Summer it is going to be used to rake hay.
