Very nice. Let me know if you are going to look into insuring them as I would like to get my 1956 80 insured and have not found anyone to appraise it. I bought mine from my Grandma after Grandpa passed away. IMG_3294.jpg

Some nice tractors.

My Dad has been restoring JD's since the late 80's, his first was a JD-D. Hoping to get the Model R restored for parade duty soon. Wish I had the space to do that at home, all I can do is help my dad when I get back home.

What number is the row crop on the back of the first trailer... 50 ??? I would like to find one to restore with my Dad as that was one of the first tractors my Grandpa and Uncle used to break our land after using teams of Belgians for years.
