In the months of Feburary, May, August and November, the American Tractor Museum features a restored tractor that is privately owned. It is our privilege to share their story with the visitors to the museum. In order to get the story of the tractor out to visitors, we ask that you agree to a few things before considering the tractor for the “Featured Tractor” exhibit. We do our best to utilize our marketing capabilities to promote the tractor. Some things need to be scheduled in advance to allow us to create signage, promotional material and videos capturing the unique story behind your tractor.

Tractor displayed in our dedicated “Featured Tractor” area. Exposure to 300 visitors monthly both regionally and nationally.
A poster with photos, short write up on tractor and ATM logo – photos can include before and after restoration, family photos and documents of tractor.

Earl

What is your story? : My Dad purchase one of the original Farmalls back when they first came out. He decided to stop using horses to cultivate on his 40 acre farm in Schulenburg, TX. I love Farmall Tractors. I have been collecting them all my life. I now have over 50 in my barn in Sealy TX. I have almost the entire series A thru 100. The photo I am sending is of the newest one that I recently purchased. I got it running after a few repairs.

Lisa

What is your story? : My family and I was exploring the area and we were told that the tractor museum was worth seeing. Boy, was they right! We really enjoyed all of the displays and even knew the gentleman that had a featured Ford tractor displayed. My son really enjoyed pretending he was plowing fields and being a real farmer. We all enjoyed the tractor museum very much and plan to visit again in the future.

Leigh

What is your story? : It was about 1949, eastern Nebraska. During the summer months, the father of my only classmate had a heart attack and died. Shortly after school started, neighbors from a 5-mile radius came to their place. They brought tractors with mounted corn pickers, wagons, extra tractors to tow full wagons in and the empty ones back to the field. This was ear corn, not shelled yet. No combines. The neighborhood women prepared a feast for lunch. The local fuel supply company sent out a truck load to keep everyone going. There were Oliver 88's, Farmall M's, John Deere G's, a Massey-Harris 44. The permanent corn crib was filled, then some temporary ones made of wire mesh. Just neighbors being neighbors.

Danny

What is your story? : As part of The River City Rodders Car Club's Fall Colors Road Trip Caravan in early November 2020 we visited The American Tractor Museum. I was very impressed with both the quality and the content of the museum. Everything, from the building itself to the reader boards reminded me of a high-end public museum. I was particularly impressed with the variety of tractors that were on display and saw several unique and unusual models that I nave never seen at any of the local tractor shows. I also enjoyed the historical information provided about the Buchheit family and the Apple Creek Community. Very well done indeed!

Rick

What is your story? : Members of the River City Rodders Car Club out of Cape Girardeau included a tour of The American Tractor Museum and The Missouri National Veterans Memorial Wall in conjunction with our Fall Colors Road Trip Caravan in November 2020. The American Tractor Museum is one of the best kept secrets in this part of the country. The view from the outside belies the size of the collection, so plan to spend a few hours checking it all out. The refurbished commercial/industrial building is the perfect setting for such a fine collection of antique tractors, implements and farming memorabilia.

Randall

What is your story? : The picture attached is around 1945 of LeRoy Conrad, Lynn Conrad and Loy Conrad. LeRoy is my father (now 87) and Loy was my grandfather. As a teenager, I would spend my summers on grandpa Loy’s farm. We would travel to Buchheit’s in Biehle for supplies etc. Grandpa Loy would buy me a Dr Pepper and a bag of Tom’s Peanuts as treat when our business was done. I thought it was good enough to have a pop and peanuts. However, I learned that grandpa Loy enjoyed his snack best by pouring the peanuts into his Dr Pepper pop bottle. Of course I had to follow that lead and pour my peanuts in my Dr Pepper as well. It was a great treat! I cannot see a Dr Pepper without thinking of my grandpa Loy and the trips to Buchheit’s. Kenny often times waited on us at the counter as we finished our pops. Those are wonderful cherished memories! Randall (Randy) Conrad Fort Worth, TX 11/9/20
