About Us
Garton Tractor, Inc.'s roots began in 1953 when W.W. Cornforth purchased the Ford Tractor dealerships in Modesto and Turlock from Green and Berry. Vernon K. (Bud) Garton was assigned managerial duties in 1954.
In 1957 the two dealerships were sold to Vernon K. (Bud) Garton, Leonard Garton and Roy Nance. The partnership between the two Gartons and Nance was dissolved in 1961. In the same year, Garton Tractor Company branched out to Los Banos under Leonard Garton's management.
Garton Tractor Company met rapid growth with an expansion move to the current Golden State Boulevard location in 1960. In 1970, Leonard Garton retired; the Los Banos store was closed, and Garton Tractor Company incorporated with Ford Motor Company being major stockholder, thus creating Garton Ford Tractor, Inc. In 1975, Bud Garton repurchased Ford's stock in the dealership, returning the company to a family owned entity.
