Club For "Little Tractor" Collectors

Club For "Little Tractor" Collectors TRACTORS Collectors 25-2-44 Anyone interested in restoring or collecting lawn and garden tractors can get a wealth of information by joining Little G, a club for garden tractor collectors. Rick and Mary Herbers, Dyersville, Iowa, along with their son Tim, founded the club and serve as its executives. "We were restoring an old garden tractor and tried to find a club or organization where we could get information and advice," Mary Herbers tells. "When we didn't find one, we started our own. We now have members all over the U.S. Our youngest member is 12 and our oldest one is in his 80's." Little G dues are $25 a year. For that, you get a monthly newsletter chock full of information and ideas from other members, plus support from the Herbers and other members. In addition, the club sponsors an annual show for collectors, which features restored garden tractors, tractors, parts and attachments for sale, and related exhibitors. The show is held on the Herbers' 15 acres right next to the famed "Field of Dreams" movie site outside Dyersville. Their fourth annual show will be held the first weekend of August, 2001. Call or write the Herbers for more information or a complimentary copy of the Little G newsletter.
