MORE SCENES FROM THE SALE ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2000

 4010

A 4010 Diesel High-Crop stands guard on the edge of the parking lot outside the Collectors Center inaugural auction in Moline.

 Crawler

What was up for sale included tractors in mint condition as well as a few rust-buckets in need of some restoration TLC.

 Orchard

A variety of sizes, shapes, and styles could be found. From the earlier unstyled models to the specialty "Orchard" models (as shown in foreground), the auction had something for everyone!

 Steel wheel rear

A large display of old and new tractors, including a special tribute to the New Generation tractors in honor of their 30th anniversary, filled the parking lot next to the Collectors Center in Moline.

 More steel wheels

The older tractors with steel wheels may not make for a smooth ride, but they sure attracted a lot of attention from collectors and curiosity-seekers!

 Steel wheel shadow

Only people who "bleed green" would call this a "sexy" shot of a shiny yellow steel wheel and its shadow.

See the STAR of the show...a tractor that sold for a record price!
