Eric is a 28 year old collector
of old tractors and is the proud owner of the 3 wheel Silver King shown
above. It is a 1942 model, Serial Number 5382, with the Continental F162
engine. Eric and his father restored this tractor in 1993 after it had
been sitting out in the weather for 25 years. The restoration took a little
over a year to complete. The engine was stuck, all the tires rotted off
and was completely covered by a thorn bush. Only the top of the radiator
was showing. Eric says he also has an Allis Chalmers B for snow plowing
and mowing, a Ford 8N with a loader for lifting, a 1950 Allis Chalmers
G, a 1944 John Deere L (his grandfathers), a 1939 John Deere D, several
implements, and an assortment of small garden tractors. Eric says "The
old tractor bug bit me at a very early age!" If you would like
