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 FFA members 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 are 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
2010 entries were narrowed down to twelve finalists. These finalists were invited to the National
FFA Convention in Indianapolis 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.
