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.

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.

Very cool....... Driven a few of those beasts in years gone by..... My grandpa used to own a massey harris dealership, and always took in used trades.... Was always a wonderful time when we went to grandma and grandpas.......
