John Deere 60

This John Deere 60 pedal tractor came from great grandpa Leo Ochsner, who farmed in Sutton, Nebraska. It came from the tractor dealer in the early 1950s when grandpa bought his first John Deere 60.

Ezra's grandpa Lauren rode it, and then Brian rode it...then tore off one of the wheels in the 1980's (he claims he was trying to fix it). We recently brought it to a repair man in Pella who was able to restore the back end well enough to ride it.

He also gave us the advice that we shouldn't leave it outside, as they are pretty special to have.
