General Discussion

This year our local tractor club, The Tennessee Valley Pioneer Power Association has decided to add an event to our annual Pioneer Power Days.

We are inviting any interested FFA chapter to submit a restored antique tractor for judging in our Heritage Award Contest.

Purity Dairies has sponsored the grand prize of $2,000.00. We will announce other prizes and awards later on our website.

Welcome to 2010! Dec gave us a lot of snow, and Jan is below zero temps. I live in the country and have a 1/4 mile lane. I need no more snow! There is a wall of snow on each side as I drive down the lane. I know I am complaining, but I really love living in the country, wouldn't want it any other way. I live my life with my glass half full, and am certain 2010 will be a great year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

I have a 1928 grayhound tractor on rubber. I'm wanting to know the value of tractor. always housed been cared for.

IAM THINKING OF SELLING,This tractor is 95% restored.Ive been told it is vary rare.I would like to know what would be a reasonably asking price?

after reading the article from the march 18th,2009 posting, concerning the 1917 fairbanks morse tractor, I felt that I needed to share with you that there is a discrepancy concerning this tractor and it's actual ownership. While Brian has restored this tractor, the true owner is actually still his grandmother, who is very much alive. I just wanted to set the record straight.

I need the part number 361565 R1 channel instrument panel housing for complete the restoration of my farmall 400 1955. I m gone use this tractor for tractor pulling . Is there somebody who have this part or give me contact about. THANK YOU. FROM YVES PICARD, Quebec Canada

hi! i am looking for information on the 1939 Cletrack General...my grandpa got ahold of the one his dad originally owned and wants to restore it....but different sources are giving him conflicting info on the colour of the rims...he has been told silver by some, but others are saying that they should be the same colour of the tractor...how would i find out for sure....he is very proud of this tractor and wants to make sure and restore it back to original....thanks

Looking to buy a ww2 Laplant Choate scraper. These were used behind Clark Airborne tractors for clearing airfields. Any suggestions, contacts and references is very appreciated.
Thank you,

Good Morning all,
It has been a long time, but feeling better, and feels good to be back to work,if you call this work.

What about this weather? July 22,2009 and my car thermometer this morning driving to work was 54 degrees. Has been for the better part of July. Coolest July for several years. Do we have to worry yet about an early frost? That will be the next thing on our mind for Sept-Oct.

For now we can enjoy the County Fairs, and State Fairs. I enjoy the County Fairs, and look forward to the Iowa State Fair the middle of August. Just think of all the food on a stick!!!
