About Our Club/History
Pioneer Power was formed in 2002 by a group interested in antique tractors and the fellowship of others with the same interests. A nine member steering committee was formed in August 2001 to explore the interest in forming a club. The steering committee members included John Brown, Joe Comerford, Don Dewald, Dr. Carl Humbarger, Gene Layman, John Mays, Jodie Schmitt, Chuck Smith, Jeff Smith. The group met for several months and
Pioneer Power of North Central Indiana is dedicated to preserving our agricultural heritage by preserving and restoring antique tractors and farm equipment. We are located in North Central Indiana and the club membership has grown each year. The club is open to anyone who enjoys antique tractors or farm equipment, garden tractors, or gas engines.
The club is governed by a nine member Board of Directors. The Directors serve three year terms staggered so three members are elected each year. Elections take place at the Annual Meeting held each winter.
