Collecting Ford tractors to Palmer Fossum was like an Ice Cream cone is to a six year-old. He just couldn't turn one down. Palmer Fossum a lifelong resident of the Northfield, Minnesota area passed away just shy of two years ago. Palmer was affectionately known by those around him as Mr Ford Tractor.
Anyone who has ever researched a Ford N series tractor undoubtedly has came across information provided by Palmer. This week his lifetime collection of rare Ford and Fordson tractors and implements will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The collection includes some extremely rare, even one of a kind Ford tractors. The two day auction will not only include complete tractros but many parts as well. Each buyer will take home a little piece of history.
To all Ford enthuhists this auction would be hard to top. Plan on taking some time off to attend if for nothing more than to observe and enjoy this complete collection one last time together. Each piece will live on to put a spark into the heart of a new owner as Palmers legacy lives on.
