The Restorer

Kent Staab has been fascinated with tractors for as long as he can remember. A lifelong tinkerer and collector, he grew up around John Deere machines — his father owned tractors before him — and that early curiosity turned into a lifelong passion for preserving mechanical history.

Today, Kent takes pride in carefully restoring vintage John Deere tractors to their original glory, bringing each one back to life with patience, craftsmanship, and respect for the past. He shares that love with his grandsons, passing down the stories, skills, and satisfaction of keeping these heritage machines running for another generation.
