Auction Company Hosts Tractor School
 ✖  |
Restoring vintage tractors is a hobby where ageless iron enthusiasts can always learn something new. And chances are, they’ll find plenty of new ideas every year at the Powers Tractor School, started in 2022 by Aumann Auctions of Nokomis, Ill. The April event, named after legendary tractor restorer Dennis Powers, features demonstrations, interactive classes, discussions and stories.
Aumann’s Marketing Director Tyson Reed says everyone who’s tackled a restoration has a story, so there’s plenty to go around with more than 250 people attending each of Aumann’s previous schools. Reed says the event is open to anyone with a strong knowledge of old iron and those interested in getting involved.
Previous events’ topics ranged from ignition mechanics to the basics of steam engine principles and functions. Presentations on collecting rare tractors and how to restore them have captivated the audience. Transporting precious restored tractors and large machinery has also been covered. Each year’s topics are different. Aumann provides a printed course manual describing each topic and some interesting literature from antique tractor books for those attending. Reed says the goal is to provide an interesting educational experience and a fun, unforgettable day.
The $25 registration fee includes the opportunity to see a large display of different tractors, engines, signs and memorabilia at the company’s Vintage Power Showroom. Aumanns also provides a hearty “Threshermans” lunch and giveaways. Tractor School is always held close to the company’s early 20th-century (pre-1930) sale of vehicles, machinery, literature and parts.
Registration for the April 25, 2025, Tractor School is available online at thepre30auction.com.
