Worldwide Veteran Tractor Register

[David Parfitt]

Some of you may know that I’ve been maintaining a register of early tractors surviving in Europe. Well now, due to popular demand (ok, one or two people ), I’ve extended it worldwide:

http://www.steel-wheels.net/register.html

Basically I’m including all makes and models of tractor introduced before 1930, but I’ve had to exclude some of the more common ones such as the Fordson F, John Deere D (solid flywheel), Case C & L, etc. due to the number of surviving examples to keep track of.

If you’d like to add your tractor to the register, or you can add some info about a tractor already listed in there, then please me know, either here or via email (david@steel-wheels.net). Or, if you’ve recorded the details of a tractor at a show or museum, or in a magazine, then please also let me know. Hopefully, those people who are currently maintaining registers for particular makes of tractor can be persuaded to add them to the list to make it as comprehensive as possible.

To deal with the privacy side of things, I’m not including the owner’s name or exact location in the listing unless they’ve given permission to do so - just the US state or the European country for example. If you’re submitting information about your tractor, perhaps you could let me know how much detail you would like displayed.

Ambitious project, I hope it continues to grow. I will try to add some more details from here some time in the not to distant future.

Thanks very much, Randy - I've added a few tractors from the RAM that were mentioned previously on the forum, but it would be great to have a more comprehensive list.

All the best

and click on 'Bulletin Board' in the black line about 2/3 of the way up the page. Select 'Discussion' on the next page that opens. You will need to register to post there

Here is a link to the actual thread:

Hope this helps.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Thanks Deas. I've been in touch with Erik in the past, and he has used some of my photos within his register. I really need to update my own list though with some of the new information he has gathered.

All the best

Hi, David Parfitt.
I also have a fair collection of photos of various tractors that include the serial numbers where I could find them. Trouble is, I don't know who the owners of many of these machines are/were when and where I took the photos.

A lot of them were taken at the Best Show On Tracks at Woodland, California, in June, 2008, and quite a few more were taken at the Best Of The West show at Santa Margarita, California, in June this year. How-wevver, a pretty high percentage of the exhibitors were so proud of their machines and/or their handywork on those machines that they didn't even bother to put their names on them.

I made an effort to cover all makes and models at both shows and include serial number plates where I could find them. Since the BSOT, I have also made the effort to try to find and photograph the serial number plates of all the tractors that I photograph for the record.

I have not had time to catalogue and name all these photos and doubt I ever will but you are welcome to them if you think they may be of any use to you. All I would need would be a snail mail address to send them to you on DVD's. I have also made this same offer to Erik for his register.
