I grew up with Farmalls that my father collected and i would get to drive them on weekends when i went to visit.
All threw my life i went to tractor pulls with my step dad and loved the sport.
In my late 30s i bought my first tractor a 52 Super M and it went from there, and my step dad followed as well.
So why do we collect ?
Knowing that these old tractors put food on the table of many familys .
Restoring something that the scrap man would get and making it look like it rolled off the assembly line. The personal pride that comes from that is great.
The search for missing parts that leads you all over the place and all the wonderful people you meet alond the way. Call it a form of adventure.
The stories i"m told by senior citizens and others alike how they used to farm with one or there parents had one make the collecting of these tractors so much fun.
I belong to E.M.T.P.A a tractor pulling club here in Michigan and we pull antique tractors only. I pull the Super M and love the sport and keep that tractor "waxed" and looking showroom new.
It may not be a $125.000 Hemi cuda on Barret Jackson but it is my pride and joy.
So i hope i was able to give you some valid points as to why "i" collect tractors.
