Mecum Expands Second Annual Vintage Tractor Auction to Friday and Saturday
Mecum's second annual Gone Farmin' Tractor auction will be hosted Aug. 5-6 in Walworth, Wis. Up for bid will be 300 tractors, including Lot S55 a 1958 John Deere 720 High Crop which was one of nine produced with electric start.
Also headlining the event is the collection of John Deere expert, Estel Theis. The 31 tractors in the collection have undergone textbook restorations over the last decade. The group consists entirely of John Deere tractors and will cross the auction block at No Reserve on Saturday.
"We are proud to offer the John Deere collection of Mr. Theis at our second annual tractor auction," said Dan Mecum, "Momentum has been building since our successful Spring Tractor Auction in March, and we hope to see everyone in Walworth the first weekend of August."
