THE CHOSEN FEW

Tractor collectors are devoted time keepers of agriculture equipment.  Preservers of tractors that without them, would be destined for the scrap heap.  Only their keen eyes can see the beauty that most have overlooked, and only they have acted on their emotions to restore old tractors.  They go without meals, lose plenty of sleep and spend endless hours searching, scraping, and scouring.  They work in the dirt, the grease, and their problems are sometimes almost impossible to solve, but somehow they find a way, and through their devotion, their hard work, their sheer determination, we now have a whole archive of farm tractors for future generations to enjoy.  So, visit a farm show and experience the excitement with THE CHOSEN FEW.
