Lenk Restorations located in Dupree, South
Dakota, is a father and son owned collection of vintage farm
tractors, stationary engines and farm collectibles. Lenk
Restorations is dedicated to Preserving The Past, For The
Future.
 
Lenk Restorations offers visitors the opportunity to view the
vintage items of the past and watch demonstrations of many of
the items. Each year, on the third Sunday of September, Lenk
Restorations, along with other local collectors, sponsor the
Dupree Threshing Day. This event is free to the public and
offers something for everyone. Events include: threshing with a
Belle City separator powered by a Rumley Oilpull, stationary
engine displays and demonstrations, tractor and implement
displays, dynamometer testing of horsepower, corn planter lid
and cast iron seat displays, and having a dish of homemade ice
cream. In keeping with the theme of Preserving The Past For The
Future, hands-on activities for kids are a large part of the
Dupree Threshing Day. Kids operate hand corn shellers, churn
butter, use a hand crank ice cream freezer, make their own rope,
operate a cream separator, use different types of washing
machines, and much more. A lunch stand is available with
barbequed pork sandwiches being the specialty. This is an event
where you can bring the entire family and relive the days of the
past.

This extraordinary collection may be viewed at any time by
contacting Ray or Quinn Lenk at (605) 365-5337 or (605)
365-5426.
