About Us

The Rainier Two-Cylinder Club was founded in March 1992, in the central Puget Sound area of Washington.  It started with 29 members; many of the charter members are still active members of the club today.  With the interest of younger members and their enthusiasm, the club will hopefully continue to grow.
 
The goal of our club is to keep old John Deere tractors running and in the public eye so that the history of many of our forefathers is not forgotten.  New members are always welcome and it is not a requirement to own a tractor, John Deere or otherwise, to join the club.  If you would like more information about the club, please call Phil Wall, 360-825-5453 or Mark Loken, 425-255-3040.
 
The club meets every other month for a general meeting, which focuses on club activities, tractor problems or questions from club members and many times a guest speaker. It culminates with door prizes, raffle drawings and a potluck lunch. The general meeting is well attended with 65 - 80 members in attendance. On the opposite months the board members meet and discuss ideas for events and activities that are of interest to all members.
 
The club has a library of books and videos for club members to check out that contain helpful "how to" information regarding restoring and working on our tractors.
 
The club participates in many parades throughout the year and usually has a display of over twenty tractors at the King County Fair in July. Tractor pulls throughout Washington and Oregon draw many of our members. At the Antique Farm Engine & Tractor Assn. Show in Elma (formerly at Shelton) the club provides a dyno to check the horsepower of tractors. This year members of the club planted a field of com in the Puyallup Valley that will be used for a com maze in October.
