Back in 1964, the Yakamook family got a new Oliver tractor. 🚜 It was a beaut and the kids would all fight over the steering wheel. 🛞 Pappy sold the tractor in 1972.
Over the years, the tractor has been talked about, reminisced over, and missed.
Fast forward to 2026, when Steves grandson, Aiden, just so happened to come across an old Oliver for sale. The Oliver’s new home had been south Jersey and after years of no use, didn’t really run. It was run down and left go. Steve knew that it was the original, so he bought it. Aiden, his grandson, has a very precise eye for detail. He spent a lot of time giving this ole’ piece a makeover.
Rebuilt. Repainted. Redone. 🙌🏻
It looks amazing!!!!
Sunday we gathered at the farm to recreate the original photo from years ago… the one where 4 siblings were perched, proud as peacocks, on this fancy Oliver, back in the 60s. Yesterday, those 4 siblings, took their positions, proud as peacocks, on this “new” to them, ole’ antique tractor that belonged to their farm so long ago!
It was beautiful! And it’s a story worth sharing!
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed being there to be a part of this special time.
The stories being told and the memories being shared were some that I will forever cherish!
