In the search box you can type any particular tractor you want. In the next box (the category box) click on Business and Industrial.
When the page loads you can further narrow your results by going to the left side and select the category of tractor you want.
When you finally narrow it down the the filtered search you want, save the search and you will not have to do it again.
Just put your mouse on the My Ebay link at the top of the page and click "Favorites" and you can follow any of the favorite searches you have stored.

Unfortunately, those folks that are selling the tee-shirts, signs, etc., are placing those ads in the category that is supposed to be just for tractors in the hopes that the increased exposure will bring more sales. There really is nothing you can do but just wade through and ignore everything that is not relevant.

just use the - sign to eliminate the others
like so

Just click it so the highest priced items are listed first. That will help a lot.

Just click on tractors and that will be the most items although there will be some other items that sneak thru.

thanks for the good advice in the responces. i'll try the suggestions in your replies. altho jacks reply may take me a little longer to try. have a great day on sunday.thanks again

Set the price limit at say $500 that should keep the T-shirts, ashtrays, tin signs and toys etc out of your results

business and industrial. I don't know why just tractor's won't work

 

[Andy Motteberg]

Search your tractor (example: Farmall H) and on the left side of the page, click on the category Business & Industrial.

my honest advice is to go local. Dont buy a tractor you cant see, hear, and drive first.

Its not the T-shirts and signs that bug me as much as all the tractor parts. I don't usually search for any particular brand or model, I just search for antique tractors within a certain distance from my house. I get a few whole tractors and hundreds of parts. There is a separate category for parts, and it would sure make it easier if some of the sellers could list their parts there.

Click on advance search and from there you can eliminate things that you don't want. also put in a price range and all sorts of little things like that.

One of the choices in Advanced Search is the distance from your zipcode. If you want to check the item out first, limit your search to as far as you're willing to drive (or as far as you want to ship the item).
