The 40-70 Imperial is the pinnacle in the world of antique tractors! It was the "Cadillac" of tractors in 1911 and it remains the same today. We're proud to represent the finest Imperial tractor in existence, one of 3 remaining complete tractors and one project. Not only is it rare, it's unique engineering and striking appearance sets it apart from all other tractors. The amount of moving parts on the tractor makes it quite the engineering feat. It has a 4 cylinder horizontally opposed engine with four exhaust pipes which gives it a very unique sound. The heavy steel fabricated box frame was very unique for the era, along with the elaborate overhead valve train mechanism. The 8' rear wheels gives it a huge, imposing stance. It was very expensive in it's day costing nearly twice as much as comparable tractors. This tractor underwent a restoration while in the ownership of the Schaff Collection and was purchased by the present owner from them. It has underwent a repair to the flywheel key since ownership and has been used at shows on the east coast. If you are into "the best", this is about as good as it gets in the antique tractor world!
Little is known of this elusive tractor! Pennsylvania built by Geiser Manufacturing from 1917 into the early twenties. They are extremely rare, this being one of just 2 known, the other in a long term museum. It has many very unique designs that include the rear wheels similar to Geiser steam engines, an enclosed transmission and gearing, crossmotor design, an exposed flyball governor and even a fancy fringed canopy. The water pump and governor and driven from the same shaft so it comes with the Geiser company recommendation of running water soluble oil in the cooling system, unique in the day! This tractor has spent many years running at the Divide County Threshing Bee as part of the Tysse Collection. It was always a main attraction due to its rarity and construction. More than likely your only chance to own a Geiser gas tractor!
The Titan Type D, line was introduced in 1910 and was one of the significant models designed by IH to meet the growing demand for more robust tractors capable of handling large-scale farming operations. The big single cylinder is surprisingly smooth and easy to run. The Titan Type D was designed as a general-purpose farm tractor, capable of working on a wide range of tasks, including plowing, hauling, and belt work. This is an excellent example of a Type D Titan. The tractor started life in the state of Washington and was restored sometime in the early 80’s before coming to its current owner. He then undertook a professional restoration performed by Wendell Kelch of Ohio. The tractor was mechanically and cosmetically gone through. Here’s one that you don't have to do a thing to except enjoy it! Excellent runner and well maintained and kept!
An iconic International Harvester tractor is this 15 hp Type A. Manufactured from 1908 to 1913, it helped International get a foothold into the "new" gasoline tractor market. International was different than many of the manufactures of the time like Rumely, Case and Minneapolis. They all had established lines of steam engines and ventured into gasoline tractors. Not International - they never produced a steam engine and began their mechanized power journey with gas tractors. This new line was not a whole lot more than their portable gasoline engines mounted on a wheeled frame with very rudimentary transmissions. While that may sound overly simplistic, they were rugged and reliable sources of power and led to greater things for the International line. We're proud to represent one of these early tractors! This tractor has been part of the Tysse Collection and has new friction reverse wood shoes, new gear tower, and a new reverse idler gear. It is 1 of only 9 known. Other notes include: front bolster cup has been welded, cam gear housing has old repair, rocker arm has been repaired,
This Sawyer Massey prairie tractor was regularly seen on the Canadian landscape in the early days of breaking sod. The design borrowed many traits from the Sawyer Massey line of steam engines including the wheels, drive gears and steering components. These tractors are imposing and the engines were proprietary to Sawyer Massey and they are a something to behold. A lot of moving parts and the engine is upfront and a focal point of the tractor. Really nice running units with their own identity and sound - not much else like them! This tractor has been shown extensively at the Divide County Threshing Bee as part of the Tysse Collection. An older restoration and it will need some clutch work but a good solid tractor.
Regarded by many old time thresherman as the best prairie tractor of it's day for ease of operation. The 30-60 Aultman Taylor is probably the most recognizable prairie tractors. It's huge rear wheels, big round radiator and deck sized canopy gives it a monster stance. They were known for being a smooth running, easy operating tractor. This is an excellent original paint 30-60 Aultman that just underwent a recent refresh. Excellent running and driving tractor. Please see our catalog description on the website for a complete list of all of the improvements to this no apologies tractor! This would be one to trade up to if you like original patina!

This is the last designed engine built by Case from 1916 to 1924 and known as being the workhorse of the line.
The Bower Manufacturing Company was founded by M.L. Bower and Bower City, Kansas, in the early 1900s. Initially, the company focused on manufacturing agricultural machinery such as plows and grain drills. The Bower City Tractor 12-25 was introduced around 1919. The tractor is a 2 cylinder built by Townsend. It was rebadged and sold by Bower City. Exceptionally rare and hard to find, one of only 3 known! This tractor is nearly all original and comes from the John Tysse Collection. It’s been used at the show for several years.
The Flaming Four as it was well known for is a distinctive tractor with it's four carburetors and unique fuel system. They are very hard to "get right" and when you have one that is, there is not much else like it! This is an awesome example of a 15-30 that underwent a Wendel Kelch restoration. It was a Texas tractor and has had a tremendous amount of the hard to fix kind of work done to it. The engine was bored and sleeved, new pistons and heads done. All of the transmission bearings were redone and bronze bushed. Several roller bearings that couldn't be obtained were custom built. The transmission is like new! The wheel bearings were replaced which made it a pleasure to plow with.
Fantastic restoration on a very late Model N Waterloo Boy! This tractor comes to us from a very good customer in England and is the last tractor in his collection to sell. During restoration of the tractor he found a factory photograph of an original canopy. He painstakingly recreated that canopy on this restoration! It certainly sets it apart from nearly every other Waterloo Boy. Beautiful tractor! **** Note: Our good friend and consignor from England has honored us by putting Aumann Farms on the privilege panel on the canopy. We are humbled by his kind gesture but also want to make sure you know we have no ownership interest in the tractor of any kind. If you would like your own name on the tractor, we'd be happy to get that done for you if we can keep the Aumann Farms panels. If not, we'll load you up with some Aumann gear to wear while you're driving it! List of restoration items include: new canopy, new fenders, new gear oil tanks, radiator was totally redone, cylinders were removed and checked, new gas tank, new wood platform, rebuilt magneto, new steering shaft, and new gear guards.
The 25-50 was introduced as early as 1914 with a round radiator. It was such a popular tractor that it went through several iterations and upgrades throughout the years. This late automotive style radiator 25-50 Avery makes it look like a locomotive in the field! It gives you a big prairie tractor feel but is small enough it's easy to haul. This is a great example from an Ohio collection that has had a lot of work done to it. It's actually an Avery Power Machinery tractor which was the name of the company after it was reorganized in 1924. It was restored some years ago and still presents well. The seller has quite the history on it so we'll make sure to connect the buyer with him. He has information on the original family and the life of the tractor including that this tractor threshed 5000 in 1955 in Devils Lake, ND! It's been used at shows and is ready to play with!
This 25 hp Type D Titan came to us from Australia! It had been dissassembled in the container and our team here has put it back together and have it running and moving for the Pre-30 Auction. This is a last minute consignment so get in and bid! A really good start to restoration has been completed and only needs to go to a great home to have that finished.
Just a few of the things done are a new front frame and bolster and a totally new cooler on the front that was well done. The governor weights have been repaired and it would certainly benefit of a new cast pair that are out there. There will also be some gear repair from some wore and chipped transmission gears. All in all, there are good bones and this tractor could be made into a really nice one.
Please review the photos and see the video of the tractor running. Give Alex a call with questions as he was involved in putting the tractor back together and can give you a lot of insight. Special thanks to Steve MacIntosh, K.R. Hough and the Aumann crew for the extra effort for our consignor getting this tractor back together for the auction!
Westinghouse engines were produced from 1886 to 1917 when larger, standard farm engines superseded them. Early Westinghouse farm steam engines were built with several notable features that made them ideal for agricultural work. They were often smaller, more mobile, and had the distinctive upright boiler. This engine had a new Lund boiler in 2015 and has been very well maintained. The latest inspection on 5/24 has the pressure allowed at 200lbs with the safety valve set at 125lbs
The Advance Rumely Company built a total of 245 of these tractors with only 120 tractors being factory built Model Y's and the others being converted from Model R tractors. The tractor had the capabilities of pulling 5-6 14" plows and could power up to a 36x60" thresher. The engine featured a bore and stroke of 7.8125" x 9.5" and featured three forward speeds.

The Bull Tractor Company was founded in 1913 by financier Patrick J. Lyons and engineer D.M. Hartsough, both veterans of the tractor industry. Their vision was to create a compact, cost-effective tractor suitable for smaller farms. The result was the three-wheeled "Little Bull," featuring a two-cylinder, 12-horsepower engine delivering 5 horsepower at the drawbar. Its design included a single large rear drive wheel and a small front wheel, allowing for maneuverability and stability during plowing.
This tractor is a very early example that has an older restoration, KW magneto (broken cover), includes starting crank, Kingston 5 ball carburetor, both jugs have been repaired, Madison Kipp lubricator and has the drawbar. The pulley has been repaired. Please note: camshaft and cam gear have been installed.

See our website for more of the story and photos. 4/24 Update - North Dakota boiler certificate now posted!
Stanley Steam cars are in a class of their own. The "mystery" of a steam car is part of their persona and what makes them so special. A quick and powerful - silent engine! It's quite the experience racing down the road with no engine noise. The Model 735, produced from 1918 through 1922, was one of the most successful late Stanley models, with an estimated 1,100 built, constituting more than 10% of the company’s total output. It used the same 20-horsepower power plant that remained fundamentally unchanged from 1915 through 1924. This is an excellent example that has been toured and maintained by one of the hobby's best practitioners. Comes with new pilot burner that will need installed. Comes with title!
Minneapolis, Rumely, American Able, and Universal were a few of the brands that sold this tractor. It was initially marketed as a 20-40 but was later re-rated to 15-30.

The Moline Universal was one of the earliest commercially successful attempts to create a lightweight, general-purpose tractor for small farms. It was quite different in design from the heavy steam traction engines and early gasoline tractors of its time.
The Universal models built by Moline had a great amount of commercial success, but the litte two cylinder tractor was the early entry in that line. There is probably only 1 two cylinder for every 10 or 20 four cylinder tractors. Super unique and hard to find! Note: older restoration, has rear sulky, good pinions with ok gearing, has hitch, cast moline seat, embossed Moline Plow Co. fuel tank, mechanical lubricator, Dixie magneto, belt pulley assembly, front cylinder has older repair(leaks), rear cylinder leaks at headgasket
The Moline Universal was not a typical tractor of its day. It featured a modular design where the tractor engine unit could be hitched directly to a wide variety of implements like planters, cultivators, and harvesters. The operator actually sat on the implement, not the tractor. This design reduced weight and gave a more direct line of sight to the fieldwork being done.
It was powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, it had enough horsepower to do the work of a small team of horses, making it ideal for small to medium farms. It was a very successful line for Moline Plow company but the design was soon outdated in the fast moving development of the farm tractor.
This tractor features a hard to find mounted plow.

Custom wheels, early F-12 engine and frame, belt pulley, redone IHC magneto, drawbar. It has new castings for the top of the transmission housing, shifter top, radiator, steering box, and gas tank brackets. Runs and drives
This is a TON of fun and has been a crowd favorite everywhere it's been. If you want to be the ultimate hero for your grandkids, we can make it happen! This is all homebuilt and uses lawn tractor final drives and transmissions to make it go! **Please note the transmission appears to be stuck in between gears after the open house.
BMB stands for Brockhouse Motor Bodies, a British company based in Southport, England. The company was involved in manufacturing various engineering products, including trailers and industrial equipment. Post-WWII, they ventured into agricultural machinery to meet the growing demand from farmers modernizing their operations.
The BMB President was the flagship model in the line of tractors produced by Brockhouse, introduced around the late 1940s to early 1950s. It was designed as a small general-purpose tractor, aimed at smallholdings and market gardeners—affordable, lightweight, and easy to operate.

The Jewett was an automobile built in Detroit, MI by the Paige Motor Company from March 1922 through December 1926. The Jewett was named after Harry M. Jewett, president of Paige-Detroit. After the first 17 months of production, approx. 40,000 vehicles were sold. The car was marketed as a Jewett 'Six' — a companion to the Paige, the primary product of Paige-Detroit. The 1922-24 cars had a 50 h.p. Jewett motor, the 1925 cars had a 55 h.p. Jewett motor and the 1926 cars had a 40-hp Continental motor.
For several years, Jewett cars featured a powerful straight six motor that could climb mountains. The last of the vehicles were available with hydraulic brakes. The company was purchased by the Graham Brothers on January 3, 1927, and the Jewett became a Paige, for that year only. The car was then rebranded as a Graham Paige for 1928 only. This is a solid car that hasn't ran in a few years, but should. Older restoration that would make a great parade/play with car!
The White Motor Company, founded in the early 1900s in Cleveland, Ohio, was a key player in America’s early automotive industry. Best known initially for their steam-powered vehicles, White gained prominence with their stylish and durable touring cars—open-air automobiles that blended rugged performance with upscale design.
White touring cars were especially popular during the 1910s and 1920s. They featured elegant bodywork, brass or nickel trim, and spacious interiors that could comfortably seat five to seven passengers. While early models relied on steam propulsion, the company eventually transitioned to gasoline-powered engines, offering improved range and reliability.
These vehicles were prized for their quality craftsmanship, smooth ride, and refined mechanical engineering. They were favored by wealthy motorists and even used by the U.S. military and government officials, including President William Howard Taft, who famously commissioned a White steamer for the White House fleet.
Today, surviving White touring cars are rare and highly sought after by collectors and vintage car enthusiasts. They stand as lasting symbols of a time when American cars were as much about prestige and adventure as they were about transportation.
This car is serial number 31599.

The Montgomery Ward tractor conversion kit was manufactured by the Peru plow works in Peru, Illinois and appeared in the Montgomery Ward catalogs in the early 1930s.
In order for the tractor wheels to turn the correct direction, it was necessary that the model 't' (rear end) be rotated 180 degrees so that the axle pinion gears would drive the wheel bull gears the proper direction. This puts the model 't' (rear end) in an upside down position. 'it works,' the (rear end) has been completely rebuilt.
The 9 tooth pinion gear to the 120 tooth bull gear ratio gives the tractor the torque needed to pull a heavy load such as a plow but, the model 't' ford automobile (rear end) was not designed to endure that much torque for a sustained period of time.
The 1925, 4 cylinder, 20 horsepower model't ford engine comes with a 6 volt starter motor and generator as original. The engine has been rebuilt and runs well. The radiator is a new replacement with a new water pump attached.
The engine number is 12636535 and is stamped on the engine block behind the water pump. The engine was manufactured on November 3, 1925.
The conversion kit is embossed with 'mw' making it a Montgomery ward product produced somewhere between 1931 and 1936.
The wheel cleats have been removed but not discarded. Rubber treads have been installed on the wheels for driving on pavement. The rubber treads can be removed and the cleats can be re-installed onto the tractor wheels as original. Front steel wheels and hubs are provided if they might be desired on the front of the tractor.
The plow and belly drawbar with brace are provided if desired to be installed onto the tractor. Sells with bill of sale.
The Moline Universal was not a typical tractor of its day. It featured a modular design where the tractor engine unit could be hitched directly to a wide variety of implements like planters, cultivators, and harvesters. The operator actually sat on the implement, not the tractor. This design reduced weight and gave a more direct line of sight to the fieldwork being done.
It was powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, it had enough horsepower to do the work of a small team of horses, making it ideal for small to medium farms. It was a very successful line for Moline Plow company but the design was soon outdated in the fast moving development of the farm tractor.
This tractor features a factory sulky and the factory Moline concrete wheel weight. Nice old original tractor! Engine is loose
