Tractor Stories – 1939 Oliver 70
This is Bree Heimbecker’s 1939 Oliver 70, I received it as a basket case a little over a year ago, after much research, parts tracking, and work this is the final product. Parts were purchased from Steiner, Grand Blanc Tractor and Ebay. The portions of the tractor that were originally red were painted pink, this was just to make it hers. She loves to drive it and has been on several events with it including Buckley, and our own tractor tour (Country Boys Antique Tractor Tour) where it was driven over 30 miles. More pictures of our tour are located on our Facebook Page or Website; www.countryboystractortour.com.
How do I install my new part?
Did you know that we have a page dedicated entirely to instructions and diagrams. JR is always adding new information to help you with your part installation and handle any questions you may have.
Over 40 new diagrams on seat bolt patterns and measurements were added this week alone. The documents are listed alphabetically by part number, followed by miscellaneous information under brand.
You can find our "How To's" page under the "Community & Info." tab on our website.
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.
