A restoration with a purpose: Central junior honors late great uncle


Central junior Keaton Klingman is restoring a 1953 John Deere 40 in honor of his late great uncle, Lyle Klingman, who he considered a “second grandpa.” He began the project in December and hopes to have it completed by August, in time for the county and state fairs.

While it took Keaton Klingman just six days to tear the tractor apart, putting it back together again has been a bit more challenging. One reason is due to the amount of work necessary to fix the tractor and everything that’s wrong with it, an extensive list including a cracked engine block, replacing bearings, the lower end of the engine, transmission and cracked final drive housings, among other things.

Keaton Klingman has learned a lot working alongside his dad and friends over the years, but this was his first solo project. He’s “never worked this deeply with a tractor before.”
