Ohio Chapter 6 is a vibrant organization of more than 275 active members, dedicated to international harvester collectors. Throughout the year, this chapter 6 club hosts a variety of events, including a winter convention, a recognition banquet, a state show, an exhibit at the Farm Science Review, a plow day, and a spring meeting—often held alongside another major event. Members also have the opportunity to participate in national gatherings for international harvester collectors.
Ohio Chapter 6 has proudly hosted several significant national events, including the National Auction in 2017 and the Red Power Round-Up in 2006, 2013, and 2022. Members receive a quarterly newsletter, The Buckeye Binder, which is filled with updates and club news specifically for international harvester collectors.
But perhaps the greatest benefit of all? The fun, food, and fellowship shared with fellow collectors in the international harvester collectors club.

The National IH Collectors Club, which was established in July 1990, has grown to include over 7,000 members from 49 states and several countries. Among its many initiatives, the Ohio Chapter 6 plays a vital role in promoting local involvement through its 36 active chapters sanctioned by the International Harvester Collectors Club. New state chapters are continually being chartered to enhance the community of International Harvester collectors. For more information about the National IH Collectors Club, visit the website.

The purpose of the International Harvester Collectors Club, particularly Ohio Chapter 6, is to create a strong identity for IH collectors that resonates with enthusiasts of IH products. We aim to promote the joy of IH collecting, restoration, and showcase displays through effective communication among our members. Additionally, we are dedicated to preserving, researching, and completing the rich history of the IH company while assisting shows that feature IH exhibits with a collection of our member's show pieces. One of our highlights is the large annual event known as the Red Power Round-Up, which showcases IH and rotates among different host chapter locations across the United States.

Membership in the Ohio Chapter 6 of the International Harvester Collectors Club includes 4 issues of Harvester Highlights and 4 editions of The Buckeye Binder newsletter. Dues for chapter 6 are $35 per year ($20 for National and $15 for State), payable by June each year.
