c-series don 9,727 #1 Posted Tuesday at 10:33 PM This is part of a collection that belongs to my friend and his son. They are a hard working farming family that has been very successful. I mean these people work nonstop, whatever they have they deserve. I’m not sure how many they have but I know this is not the whole collection. Then they have the tractors that they work with. 99% of them are IH’s too. I think they have around fifty in total. Today I was driving down the road and came across this at one of his locations. Immediately I pulled over and took pictures, to the best of my knowledge this is the first time they have put some out for display. After taking pictures I called him to say thanks for putting them out, it made me happy!! Of course he didn’t answer the phone, probably because he was working! Hope you guys enjoy…….. 6 6 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 9,727 #6 Posted Tuesday at 11:33 PM @nylyon Yes this is out on the South Fork of eastern Long Island. They are one of the last family farms out here. @Brockport Bill You are correct! It’s hard not to love him, he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. The whole family in fact is very nice. Even though he works his ass off he’s always got a minute to stop and shoot the breeze, and then back to work. Glad you guys enjoyed the photos. ‘Merica!! 🇺🇸 4 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,579 #11 Posted yesterday at 10:44 AM Quite a few of gold demonstrators. Looks like the oldest in that line up is the one on the end to the right. Looks to be a H or M, can't tell, so maybe late 40s or early 50s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 8,128 #12 Posted yesterday at 10:46 AM Real nice! Museum grade to boot. IH machines are pretty Iconic in the American farm landscape. Wonder if he has 1 battery and 14 tractors? Seems like a constant problem for collectors. I found good tenders help a lot and taking the machines out for a spin every 5-6 weeks keeps things fresh. He might have caretaker? Judging by the small fortune in suit case weights, I figure 14 batteries and 14 tractors! and a caretaker! Hmmm.....that's what I need, caretaker......nope lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
