There are collectors out there that would probably love to have a couple of those to restore. I catch a tractor auction every now and then on the "RFDTV" channel. Some of these farmers have big bucks tied up in their collections.

Great images. Slightly overexposed, drop exposure about 1 - 1ΒΌ stops and see if there is a difference. Also, rusty metal like this looks really nice with the software HDR effect applied as long as you dont' overcook. Try Topaz Adjust or NiX HDR (or whatever they call it).

Very nice photos of old tractors. I am into photographing antique tractors myself. Try to do at least two shows a year. Since I grew up on a farm in the 50s, I am always interested in old farm machinery and antique tractors. Keep up the good work, have fun and have a GREAT DAY!

The last image is a Caterpillar 977 that would be in the 20A------- serial number range.

Very nice. I may have drove one of those back in the 50s.

Nice old tractors. I used to live in Fallbrook, not too far from Vista. How come I never heard of this place before I left in 2005?Done a lot of work in their lifetimes, now retired. At the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum in Vista, CA.

Interesting and nice photos. They do look a little over-exposed.
