Arizona Old Iron FFA Tractor Donation Program

One of the most rewarding ways Arizona Old Iron gives back to the agricultural community is through our annual FFA Tractor Donation Program.

Each year, our organization selects one Arizona FFA chapter to receive a donated antique tractor. These tractors are more than just pieces of equipment—they are valuable educational tools that provide students with hands-on learning opportunities in agricultural mechanics, restoration, maintenance, and the history of American agriculture.

Our goal is to preserve agricultural heritage while investing in the next generation of farmers, mechanics, educators, and industry leaders. By placing these tractors into the hands of FFA students, we hope to inspire teamwork, develop technical skills, and encourage an appreciation for the machinery that helped build Arizona agriculture.

The tractors donated through this program may be used in a variety of ways, including restoration projects, agricultural mechanics instruction, community events, parades, educational displays, and fundraising efforts that directly benefit the local FFA chapter.

Each recipient chapter is selected through an application process based on their proposed use for the tractor, educational value, and commitment to maintaining and utilizing the equipment for the benefit of their students.

This page celebrates the chapters that have been selected and documents the journey of each donated tractor. In the following page, you'll find information about each year's recipient, photos of the tractor, updates on restoration progress, and stories highlighting the impact these donations continue to make across Arizona.

Together, we are preserving our agricultural heritage while helping cultivate the future of agriculture—one tractor at a time.
