Tragic loss "John Parker"

John Parker the founding President of the Australian Tractor Pullers Association, has died from injuries received in a tragic accident. John was life member of the ATPA and the Quambatook Tractor Pullers Assocn. He owned the Quamby Quaker and the T&I Terminator and was planning a NH pro stocker. Some in the US may remember meeting John, he had made many trips to the US and attended many pulls. I accompanied him on one trip in 93, to pulls at Macon and Bowling Green.

He had just founded the Quambatook Heritage Working Machinery Assocn and was the founding President, he was trying to preserve our cereal growing machinery before it was all lost to the scrap yards. I worked for John for 12 years but first started traveling to ATPA meeting as far back as 82, and at one time served as Vice president to him while he was President of the Australian Tractor Pullers Association, where he served 4 terms. We cannot understand what effect his death will have on our sport. He was the Major sponsor of our Australian Championships, with his Machinery dealerships T&I Centres along with New Holland they have carried naming rights to the National event for some time.

Today's funeral saw the procession travel through the Pulling complex which he was the major instigator of it being built, there was a avenue of vintage machinery which he had purchased and donated to the Association, along with his beloved Quamby Quaker and the T&I Terminator. John was a visionary and always happy to give anyone a helping hand. I think a little photo I took of him a couple of years ago and the two words on the photo would best describe John. Tractor Pulling in Australia will never be the same. I hope everyone will get together and build it to a greater status in honor of John, this would be a fitting tribute to a great man.
We will miss him so much, Kelvin
