About Our Club
Waterloo BoyThe Waterloo Boys of Southeast Pennsylvania, is a non-profit, chartered club dedicated to the preservation, historical education and usage of pre 1965 John Deere farm equipment. Deeply rooted in the richness of our rural heritage, the organization consists of over 200 active members and their families. In November 1990 The Waterloo Boys of Southeast Pennsylvania official received charter status. Thirty Five people sitting around a table at Rough and Tumble Engineers drew up a charter setting the ground work for this outstanding club.
 
Throughout the past 12 years our club has managed to purchase a 1920 "California Clarifier" Waterloo Boy Tractor (shown here), tents for our shows, training equipment and materials for educational seminars along with 14 John Deere antique tractors that were restored and raffled off.
 
Plow DaysMembers and their families enjoy club functions including a Spring Banquet and Auction, Plow Days, Summer John Deere Show, Summer Picnic, and Christmas Banquet. More recently The Waterloo Boy Club has appeared at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show. Our mission there is to educate the public on the richness of our rural farm heritage and the role our antique farm equipment has played in the past .
