Auctioneer’s Note:
Bob Ryffel collected and restored tractors and crawlers for many years. He was primarily a John Deere Man. He has passed away and his daughters are selling this outstanding collection. About half of the tractors have been shedded. None are running and haven’t been for several years. The tractors may not be running on Auction Day. They are truly “barn finds”. The descriptions of each tractor are Bob’s own details that he kept in his tractor log book. Join us Thursday, Sept. 30th near Raynesford, MT and enjoy the day as we sell Bob’s collection.
