Due to a change in interest, i.e. 22 Grand Children! We have decided on a major downsizing and have commissioned Art Smith Auctioneers to conduct a Live Public Auction to sell our tractor collection, toys, farm equipment, antiques & farm primitives. We would like to invite you to our Auction and thank you for your time, consideration & support.
Very best regards, Bill & Sharon DeVries
NOTE: For over 30 years Bill & Sharon have traveled the USA in search of quality tractors to complete their collection. They had a passion for the John Deere & Farmall lines which began when Bill worked on the farm as a youth on those tractors. Some of their tractors have been across the Mackinaw Bridge on several occasions & most are parade ready. The vast majority have new paint, seats & tires. The tractors have been kept in a huge pole barn that was built for that purpose and will be available in case of bad weather. The tractors, toys, farm equipment & collectibles will make this an auction worthy of your attendance.
For your convenience we will have 100% off street parking, lunch trailer, port-a-jons, wash-up station and loader tractor.
