Tractor Donations
The Lester F. Larsen Tractor Test & Power Museum accepts donations of tractors for purposes of advancing its mission to be the premier steward of advancements in agricultural technology through the development of collections, exhibits and programs for public benefit.

Donations to the museum may be tax deductable. The museum is a 501(c)(3) organization. Tractors acquired for permanent display are to meet criteria set forth within the museum's collections policy.

Tractors donated that do not meet the criteria for the museum's permanent collection become of value to the museum's mission through an annual auction event held in the Fall.
Thanks to numerous donations over the years, the Lester F. Larsen Tractor Test & Power Museum has a collection of nearly 40 tractors. All tractors on display have been donated to the museum, except two that are on loan. There are 28 tractors inside the museum and five are displayed outdoors. Three of the museum's tractors are on display at the Farm And Ranch Museum in Gering, Nebraska and the remaining two are being stored at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Roger's Memorial Farm.
