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 tractor restoration experts 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 were
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 Louisville 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.
