The purpose of this club is to preserve, restore and work antique farm and garden tractors, farm machinery, tools, automobiles and construction equipment and to display what our parents and grandparents had to work with to feed their families and our nation in the beginning of the twentieth century. Showing the transition from horse, mule and oxen power soure on our agricultural land to the steam engine and then the internal combustion engine.
From there we have advanced to the use of our equipment in demonstrating how our forefathers made their living and to the advancement of garden tractors and their pulling events.

Everyone would always ask Charlie Ross when he was going to retire. He would always say when they wheel me out of here. Charlie retired in the early morning hours of April 3, 2020 at his home with his family by his side. It is with heartfelt sympathy that we say good bye to our long time friend and faithful member. Charlie will be sadly missed by all who knew him. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. Burial will take place in Williams Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Mount Olive Church, 1705 County Line Road, Hopewell, OH 43746.
