Welcome....
Organized in May 1971 at Brooks, Or, Branch 15 is one of many branches of the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association spread across the USA. (see link below) The object and purpose is to stimulate interest in collecting, restoring, preserving and exhibition of gasoline and oil engines; gas and steam tractors, power driven farm machinery and antique farm related items.
Branch 15 is a non-profit organization, dedicated to provide a membership- based supportive organization to meet, share and exchange information and interests, conduct swap meets, carry our educational classes and activities for the benefit of both members and the general public as related to collection, preservation, restoration, exchange, demonstration and display of antique stationary engines, tractors, associated equipment and implements. Other interests may include garden tractors, drag saws, feed grinders, governors, water pumps, implement seats, whistles, shop tools, literature, photographs, farm toys and kitchen gadgets - anything of historic value.
We welcome anyone who is interested in the preservation of antique power or the machinery it was used to drive.
Our Board Members are elected during our annual meeting held in December. The organization has no paid officers and depends solely on volunteers from the membership. We encourage both new and current members to volunteer to assist on committees to retain the enthusiasm, growth and stability of the club.
