In Lincoln, Nebraska, the Lester F. Larsen Tractor Museum preserves the history of Nebraska’s tractor test law in the original Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory, the world’s first tractor testing facility. The museum grew from Wilmot Crozier’s 1919 complaint that a Ford 8-16 tractor failed to perform as advertised, helping spur a law requiring manufacturers’ claims to be verified. Backed by Crozier and state senator Charles J. Warner, the law established tractor testing at the University of Nebraska. The site later became a museum, preserving original testing equipment and tractors, including the Waterloo Boy Model N and the Ford 8-16, that symbolize Nebraska’s role in setting standards for tractor performance and reliability.
