Mr Eather said the shed’s visitors enjoyed viewing the displays.
“There was a lot of interest on the day,” he said.
“Of great interest to everyone was the 1934 McCormick Deering tractor which has been in the Eather family for more than 50 years.”
Mr Eather said the tractor shed was always looking for new members and displays.
“The committee is keen to hear from anyone with a passion for old tractors to add to the collection and to display their pride and joy,” he said.
“Our meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month at the Boggabri Tractor Shed from 7.30pm.
“Anyone interested can call me on 0448 011 940.”
