It all started
In the late 1990’s when Jamie asked his grandfather if he could restore the Silver King tractor that Jamie’s great grandpa had purchased brand new in 1945. With a proposal to his grandfather, Jamie dove into the project, promising to handle all the labor while his grandfather funded the necessary parts.

With a proposal to his grandfather, Jamie dove into the project, promising to handle all the labor while his grandfather funded the necessary parts.
The result? A stunning restoration just in time for the Wayne County Fair in 2001, where Jamie proudly showcased the tractor in the antique section. From there, Jamie's passion for restoration only grew, with a focus on Oliver tractors for his personal collection.

To early 2024 and the beginning of Rice Hill Restorations. Inspired by his love for Oliver tractors, Jamie sought to complement his County Fair displays with refurbished metal lawn chairs powder coated the color of his beloved Oliver tractors. This would give fairgoers a nice place to sit if they wanted to relax for a bit and provide a place to sit when he and his family attended various tractor shows across the country.
Jamie was able to purchase his first four antique lawn chairs at an online auction with the expectation that he would refinish them solely for his personal use. However, what started as a personal project soon gained momentum when Jamie's wife admired the finished chairs and suggested expanding the endeavor. As he loves spacing time in his workshop and working with his hands, Jamie embraced the idea and turned his workshop hobby into a thriving business.
