Hi, my name is Mark Jackson, welcome to my website! I have
been collecting tractors, both big and small for well over 20 years. My dad
always collected old Ford Model A's years ago which is what led me to my fascination
of this old equipment. Up until recently, I have worked concrete/excavation
all my life so I have always had an excuse to be around equipment in one form
or another. I have a terrific wife and three super fantastic kids that love
these old tractors as much as I do! No matter how bad a day you can have sometimes,
you come home, jump on a tractor and take a ride with the kids and forget about
everything else! Things never get boring as there is always something to do
with them!
We live in the Northwestern corner of Illinois where the rolling hills meet the
Mississippi river pretty close to Dubuque, Iowa. Gods Country! Great place to
raise kids and collect tractors! Somewhere along the way I started making or
having made a few parts for old tractors, in part to help with the kids college
fund, and in part because I have such an appreciation for what some modern day
craftsmen can do with metal. Be sure and check out my "parts for sale" link
as I just may have something you're looking for! Also, be sure to check out the
other links for many great photo's. I have bought and sold tons of tractors over
the years but almost all of what you'll see on this site is currently in my collection.
The one main thing that sticks with me throughout all my years of collecting
is how many great folks and longtime friends I have met through collecting this
old iron. Please be sure to check back often as we'll be updating the site on
a regular basis. I hope you enjoy paging through the site as much as I enjoyed
it when we were putting it together! Anytime at all you want to "talk tractors" just
send an email to me at mjaxn82361@aol.com and
I'll get back to you shortly! Have a great day!
