The Tractor

In our Sisters restaurant, we have a very special addition to the dacor: a 1953 NAA Ford Golden Jubilee Tractor that belonged to Kim's father before he passed away in 2009. Ford only made this model for one year to celebrate their 50^th anniversary. Kim's father Jake insisted that we keep the tractor in the family. Only problem was that it was in Winthrop, Maine and it wasn't running at all. Well, good reason for a road trip with Charlie for some BBQ!

In October, 2009, Roy drove from Oregon to Maine via Canada, and brought the tractor home. It was completely restored in 4 months and put in the Sisters Rodeo Parade, where it won 2^nd place! The tractor now sits, with 1 hour on its meter, in honor of Jacob Ham, a great man!
