Troy has the original steel wheels to restore this antique! Check out the pictures below of Troy's mother, grandfather and great-grandfather with this tractor in 1947.
The tractor was purchased in September of 1936 from Roy C. Thompson Co. for $865.00 with cultivators and hoes by Troy's great-grandfather Orrin Pelkey and grandfather Rodney "Bub" Pelkey. It was worked on the Pelkey farm until 1983.
Troy's great-grandfather, Orrin Pelkey is seen here on the tractor with Troy's mother Sue. The picture was taken September 24, 1947.
Troy's grandfather, Rodney and mother, Sue are shown here on the tractor that was destined for the fourth generation.
This tractor definitely holds special meaning for the family.
This is the tear-down of the tractor in progress. Sandblasting is next.
The tractor is sandblasted and Troy and his grandfather are prepping the tractor for paint.
It's hard to believe this is the same tractor now that it's restored!
