Getting Started on your Antique Tractor restoration project.

Isn’t it amazing how quickly something you see, hear or read can trigger a response? Today as I read the thought for the day “A candle looses nothing by lighting another candle,” that is just what happened.

Antique Tractors needed for another edition of Iron Memories

Another year is almost over and I can hardly wait to see the entries for the next edition of the Iron Memories storybook.

As you may already know every year we gather information from our antique tractor friends and put them together a full color book filled with pictures and 45-50 tractor restoration stories to mail out in the spring.

Antique Tractors, Big Draw at Auctions

Antique tractors and Equipment is a Valuable Commodity...and growing.

Antique tractors and combines are currently in high demand at auctions. An un-restored 1961 International Harvester Farmall 460 brought $2,800 at a September 11 retirement sale in Texas. Earlier in the year another 460 of the same year sold for $1,400. Also at the Texas sale a 1975 John Deere 4240 was sold for $12,600, nearly $1,000 over the average auction price for this model. Once again confirming that good used equipment is a valuable commodity.

Antique Tractors are a good investment
