Before Bud Meyer of Stendal earned his driver's license or owned a car, he drove a Farmall B tractor, to and from school. Meyer purchased his first Farmall B, pictured in photo, when he was 8 years old. Now Meyer, right, continues to collect Farmall tractors and with help from his grandson Owen Kinker of Stendal, 15, restored many of the antique tractors. It took the pair two days to move 74 antique tractors out onto Meyer's lawn. The last time Meyer showed all of his tractors was August 1, 2014. "I'll probably get them out again if I live long enough," Meyer said.170715_Tractors02_BL.jpg

Before Bud Meyer of Stendal earned his driver's license or owned a car, he drove a Farmall B tractor to and from school. Now Meyer has collected more than 70 antique tractors, 40 of which are Farmall, and pulled them out for people to view Saturday in Stendal. Meyer's nephew Kent Butke of Huntingburg photographed the tractors for Meyer. "I was out here 3 years ago and I think he's added to the collection," Butke said. The last time Meyer showed all of his tractors was August 1, 2014.170715_Tractors03_BL.jpg

Before Bud Meyer of Stendal earned his driver's license or owned a car, he drove a Farmall B tractor, to and from school. Meyer purchased his first Farmall B when he was 8 years old. Along with collecting and restoring Farmall tractors, Meyer also collects parts which he uses to repair the old tractors. "A lot of people would call this all 'junk'," Meyer said inside his workshop. "But for me, it's all spare parts." Now Meyer has collected more than 70 antique tractors, 40 of which are Farmall, and pulled them out for people to view Saturday in Stendal.170719_4Hfair21_SJ.jpg
