I am planning a trip from Ontario Canada to visit my brother in Minneapolis. I plan on travelling through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Minn. I will be leaving March 18th. I would appreciate any tips on places or events to take in on the way that pertains to antique tractors, especially JD. I have already received some sites in Indiana.

Thank you,

BC

BC,
I agree with the tour at the factory in Waterloo. It's interesting how the new ones are manufactured.

If you're already in Waterloo, go downtown to see the factory that use to produce the Waterloo tractors. Deere still uses it, but they are going to tear down many of the old buildings fairly soon. Some of the buildings go back to the old Waterloo gasoline engine company from the turn of the century. Of course the 2-cyls were produced there too.

Kind of depends on what route you are taking. If you don't mind going a little south, you can swing through Moline and take a look at the Deere headquarters, they still have a display there, and the Deere Commons which has a nice display. Grand Detour (original Illinois location for Deere's blacksmith shop) is another nice place to visit. If you like toys, you might want to stop in Dyersville, IA and visit the National Farm Toy Museum. Much to see and do, Dubuque is not too bad either. If in Moline, you can get tours through Deere Harvester and Planter Works too.
