 The New York FFA Foundation is seeking an FFA Chapter to take on our eighth tractor restoration project to raise money for the NY FFA. Seven tractors have been restored over the past 10 years and over $80,000 has been raised to support NY FFA member projects. The 6th tractor, a 1925 Fordson F was fully restored by students majoring in Agricultural Engineering at Morrisville State College under the direction of Asst Professor Charles Ax. The 7th tractor is an Allis U that was restored by FFA members from Southern Cayuga. This raffle will be kicked off at the Empire Farm Days this summer.
The D-14 is currently being stored at Oswegatchie Camp. The tractor does run, however the restoration will be extensive. The FFA Foundation provides a budget of up to $2,000. We also seek to find volunteers and donors to help with various components of the project. If your FFA Chapter is interested in this project, please contact Todd Lighthall, at this email or by calling 315-346-1222. The projects make a great learning experience for your students. Additionally a great deal of money is raised to support FFA member activities. Tractors restored in the past include: Ford 8N- Pioneer Central Ford 8N- Pioneer Central Allis Chalmers WC- Penn Yan John Deere BR- Restored by Daryle Foster and Don Farrand Ford 2N- Restored by Pioneer Central Fordson- Restored by Morrisville State College Allis U- Restored by Southern Cayuga I look forward to finding a home for this next project.
