You didn't take it home with you?

That's a really cool little tractor!

I left before they started on the tractors. Spent $2 on a long-handled lug wrench that I don’t need. I may modify the end into something I can use. Two seed cans, I don’t know what you call them but they go on a planter, fetched almost $350 each and the bidder looked like he didn’t care what they cost. He had to have them. They looked like junk to me.

I know McCormick seed cans can bring a pretty penny. I'd wager Deere & AC would be the same.

It was rapid-fire bidding on the cans. He just kept his hand up because he had to have them no matter the price. Probably has some piece he’s restoring. Or knows someone who will pay even more.

Nice tractor..

McCormick is still building tractors in France.

I wonder if that's the same tractor that was advertised on Facebook Marketplace for months. It was located in Springville NY, and I believe at one time it belonged to the owner of the IH dealership located there.

Just saw the ad yesterday. Now I can't find it.

Looks like faded gold paint. Wonder if it's a demonstrator ?

Someone told me it sold for around three grand, looked to be in excellent condition.
