    Rock Island and Heider Tractor collection video tour

    A little video I put together about our collection of Rock islands and Heiders and a bit of a promotion for our Geneseo IL show, second weekend after labor day featuring lessor knowns. Should be a good turnout of some rare equipment and local to the Quad Cities region built items.

    Old Iron On The Farm

    Rusty, even that's useful to me. Since so many heiders are missing their tractor tags, any surviving serial info helps narrow down tractor serials and cross reference with engine serials. I've also found a few lately that have added as many questions as answers so anything helps. Only our motor...

    George Schaaf Collection Auction

    it was an interesting sale. George really seems to like exceptional restorations and large operator platforms he can ride on due to his health. The mogul, although a fine machine, did not really seam to fit where he wanted the collection to go. A big part of the prices is the limited number of...

    Albert City Show anybody going

    Bob, would this be the Carroll Co Historical Society Heider? If it isn't, could I trouble you for the tag numbers and maybe some pictures? I am trying to assemble a list of surviving Heiders and don't have many pre 1916's on the list so any information is useful.

    Finally got burnt on Ebay

    I bought manuals from one of the big well known manual reproduction places through amazon. turned out they had the right cover but were reprints of a totally different engine. I got my money back but was out shipping both ways, but it was flat fraud.

    Old websites

    Its hit and miss how much of a site is archived, but you can try running it through https://archive.org/index.php if you know the old URL. I have recovered info from a lot of sites that way.

    Hession/Wheat

    That is a difficult question, heres why. Its a very rare tractor, the last one that sold was fully restored and very nice, on a very high end sale that set all sorts of records. yours will be worth a fraction of what that one brought. How much that fraction is, is going to depend just how much...
