Glacier FarmMedia – If you have a favourite brand of vintage equipment, no matter what colour it might be, there is likely an active collectors’ club out there with like-minded people you can network with.
For Prairie fans of IH equipment, there is the Western Canada International Harvester Club, chapter 38, which holds annual get-togethers as well as other club events.
In July, the club made an appearance at Ag in Motion 2025 to promote itself and recruit new members.

“We would like more people to join,” says club president Colleen Urich from Perdue, Sask.
“We have an annual show. This year it’s in Neilburg, Sask. Last year was Vermillion, Alta. We like to go to a different province every year.”
This year’s event in Neilburg will be held Aug. 16-17.
Because IH produced such a wide range of products aside from ag machinery and trucks, Urich says collectors of any of those other IH items are welcome to join and participate, too.
“All the chapter members get a chance to bring their equipment and trucks or whatever to show,” she says.
“Everything you have, even tools.”
The club publishes a quarterly newsletter, which members can contribute to, highlighting their collection or restoration projects. The newsletter and website also feature a marketplace section where restorers and enthusiasts can shop for or sell parts or anything IH.
The club also sells IH branded hats, shirts, signs and other swag, which would make ideal Christmas gifts for the tractor enthusiast.
Anyone interested in joining or just finding out more about the club can visit its website at IHC38.com. The club also has a presence on Facebook, X (Twitter) and Instagram.
