About The Delo Tractor Restoration Competition

Since 1995 the Delo Tractor Restoration Competition has rewarded the
determination, mechanical skills and business savvy of high school aged
FFA members from around the country. Through the restoration of an
antique tractor, participants develop skills applicable to the modern
business world. The skills needed for success in the program ? equipment
maintenance, teamwork, project management, budgeting, planning and
marketing ? help develop the participants into future leaders in the
agriculture community.

All entrants to the Delo Tractor Restoration Competition are required to
submit a workbook detailing the entire tractor restoration process, from
mechanical overhauls of the engine, transmission and auxiliary and
ancillary systems, to the external appearance of the tractors. The 12
finalists were invited to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis to
present their projects to a panel of five professional tractor
restorers. Projects were graded on restoration process, results and
documentation, as well as oral presentation and safety precautions.
