1947 Minneapolis-Moline RTI restored by William E. Schultz and his son, Bill Jr., of Grand Island, New York. “The tractor belonged to a farmer my son works for during the summer,” says Bill Sr. “We literally dragged the rust bucket home. The cost increased beyond what I wanted to spend, but it proved to be well worth the money.”
1916 Buffalo Springfield Steam Roller owned by dairy farmer Randy Floyd Sr. of Owego, New York. Sons Randy Jr. and Steven take this former road roller to shows and demonstrations throughout the year.
1953 John Deere 70 owned by Jim Sandstrom of Columbus, Pennsylvania. “I bought this tractor from a good friend of mine because I wanted to join a tractor club,” says Jim. “I enjoy showing the tractor and driving it in parades. I have taken three firsts pulling in the 7000 class at tractor pulls.”
