About Us
This is a photo of my dad's 1937 D John Deere tractor loaded up and ready for plow days. Every year a group of buddies get together and play in the dirt.
Hello this is John Banka the founder and creator of Tractor Treasures. Antique tractors and stationary engines are a hobby of mine. I enjoy to travel around to shows and see what's new. You never know what your going to see at these shows.
We have met lots of great people across the U.S. that enjoy the same hobbies as us. Most people have their preference on what brand of tractors or stationary engines they like. We like them all and this website will show it. I built Tractor Treasures for several reasons. First off I want to have a place where the people in the antique farm equipment community can keep in touch with each other after meeting at various shows or meet online and take parts to shows for others. Next I wanted a place where this community can go to find the parts and information needed to help make these hobbies continue to increase in popularity. I also wanted a better place for people to be able to chat and share photos of projects because lets face it some are so rare that books can be few and far between.
