An Antique Tractor is a Piece of American History
The farming industry is slowly dwindling to the very few who
can afford to produce food products through agriculture. The farming
boom that began this country is a tribute to the hard working men and
women who spent every day of their lives working the land and learning
to survive. As family farms give way to urban developments, new
industry and technology, people are becoming more and more nostalgic
about the agriculture industry. That is the motivation behind many
antique tractor collectors’ passion for the iron horse of yesterday.
The invention of tractors revolutionized the agricultural industry and
what once took many hands, became the work of one man and his machine.
An antique tractor is a piece of American history. Some of the more
popular manufacturers of antique tractors were:
· Allis Chalmers
· Case
· Cockshutt
· Farmall
· Ford
· Ferguson
· John Deere
· Massey-Harris
· Massey-Ferguson
· Minneapolis Moline
· Oliver
Antique tractors turn up in the most unlikely and often in the most
likely of places, such as on the old farms and homesteads of pioneers
long since passed. These work horses won’t get a chance to rest anytime
soon if an antique tractor collector has his way. Many men – and, yes,
women – are finding and refurbishing antique tractors to display and
work at tractor pulls throughout the country.
Antique tractor collecting is becoming big business. As more and more
old tractors are discovered and refurbished, the demand for parts
increases. Conduct a search on the Internet for the words, “antique
tractor” and you will receive thousands of enthusiastic search results
from websites that are chomping at the bit to get you into the seat of
an old iron horse!
To make the experience of collecting and restoring old tractors, be
sure to research the history of the type of tractor you find as well as
the history of the individual tractor. This can be a family affair and
a great way to involve children in a hands-on history lesson.
