2011 Classic Tractor Calendar Commemorates 9/11
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the 2011 Classic Tractor Calendar featues a Pennsylvania barn with a huge U.S. flag painted on it. The barn is located near the crash site of United Flight 93 where a National Memorial is being built.
  Proceeds from the sale of T-shirts and sweatshirts with printed pictures of the barn will be donated to help build the National Memorial
  The Classic Farm Tractors calendar has been used every year in the offices of FARM SHOW Magazine since John Harvey, creater of the calendar, first came up with the idea 22 years ago. Year after year he has continued to track down an eye-popping collection of restored tractors.
  This year John has once again put together an outstanding crop of beautifully restored, and often rare, antique tractors from across the country. In addition to the cover shot, which features three restored Farmalls, each month features a different tractor with details about the owner and the history of the tractor itself. Tractors featured this year include the following: 1911 IHC Titan 25; 1957 Massey Harris; 1937 Cletrac Model E; 1938 Huber LC; a 1962 Minneapolis Moline; and several more.
  The 2011 Classic Farm Tractor Calendar sells for $10 plus $3 S&H, or three calendars for $25 plus $7 S&H. Call 1-800-888-8979 or send a check to Classic Tractor Fever, Box 437, Rockland, DE 19732. (In Canada, please order by phone or send U.S. Funds).
   A companion 82-min. video shows all the tractors on the calendar. Professionally produced, it sells for $30 (DVD format), plus $5 S&H.
  John also recently wrote and published a first-of-its-kind book on Big Bud 747, the world’s largest tractor. It tells the story of the men who created it, featuring many great photos of the giant machine. It’s a big 12 by 9, high-quality book with 128 pages. Sells for $37.47 plus $7 S&H.
   Harvey has also produced a series of unique antique tractor videos as well as antique tractor playing cards, a Big Bud video, tractor books, and much more.
