 The
2021-2023 Lincoln Ag Engineering students started the two-year-long
process of restoring the tractor. This current 2023-2024 school year
the students in agriculture classes all pitched in to help finish
the restoration of this tractor.
A common
student seen with the tractor is LCHS freshman Oliver White. He had
some great things to say about his experience with the tractor and
how it benefited him and his classmates. “When I would work on it,
it helped me decompress from all the other things I was thinking
about, and I was able to just have one thought which was the tractor
and what I was doing and needed to do. My favorite moments were when
the whole class was working on the tractor because I feel that it
gave all the other students a new experience to work with something
that was like treasure.”
The
tractor restoration was the work of many students, but Oliver was
one that put in so much time during class and after school.
After the long three years of hard work and teamwork, the tractor
was finally completed towards the end of the 2023-2024 school under
the direction of LCHS Agriculture Educator and FFA Sponsor Molly
Schempp.

The
tractor is to be sent off to Heartland Community College in
Bloomington-Normal to be displayed on the campus. The completion of
such an amazing project would not have been possible without Jay
Akers, Jon Graber, and Darin Schempp. The Lincoln FFA chapter thanks
them for helping with the restoration throughout the year.
Be sure
to visit Heartland Community College’s Agriculture Department to see
the tractor this summer.
