NOTE: After nearly 35 years of successful dairy farming, Loren & Elaine retired, sold the farm and moved just up the road to this location. After retiring from the farm, they traveled the country seeking out Farmall tractors for restoration. Many hours were spent in Loren’s workshop, restoring these tractors back to their original condition, new paint, new tires and anything else that needed to be done. 1000’s of miles were put on the trucks going to tractor shows all over the US. The Petersons were members of several antique tractor clubs and were well known for their outstanding line of Farmall tractors, several featured in Farmall books & calendars. Now, with their passing and according to their wishes, all will be sold at Live Public Auction. Along with the tractor collection, complete workshop, trucks, trailers and large farmhouse full of 60 years of farm living, collectibles and farm primitives, a nice collection of toy tractors, guns and tractor parts make this an Auction worthy of your special attention.
