It’s a closed-cab farm tractor equipped with automotive features such as an electric starter, a dashboard with a speedometer, heat, windshield wipers, a cigarette lighter and a radio.

“We have the first electric-start tractor, first front-wheel drive tractor and several sought-after tractors.” A bright orange-yellow 1938 Minneapolis-Moline UDLX Comfortractor sits near the front of one row. “We have a lot of unique tractors,” he said. Stone said all but four of the tractors were driven onto the showroom floor, and most of them run. The rows of tractors are organized by make, model and year. Guests can take a self-guided tour of the museum, following informational signs at each tractor, truck or car. In addition to the exhibit space, it has a gift shop, and a restaurant opened this year. “The museum is a work in progress, and we’re always adding something so there’s always something new to see.” “There’s a little something for everyone,” said Alan “Bones” Stone, the museum’s curator. Off the main room are two smaller rooms-one filled with antique trucks and the other housing antique cars and a meeting space. The 70,000-square-foot museum has 160 antique tractors in its main showroom, along with an antique tobacco exhibit, antique gas pumps and displays of vintage tools, toy trucks and soda bottles.
