amazing collection of cool OLD tractors - thank you Jack! In 1998 J. R. Simplot attended the tractor auction of Oscar’s Dreamland. (I just posted about it last month) The auction was billed as the largest private tractor sale in the world, J. R. purchased around 110 antique tractors

Jacks' Urban Meeting Place showcases 50 of those vintage steam engines and tractors to showcase the agricultural roots of Idaho, in downtown Boise.

the fastest ways to see the tractors online, is this page  http://jumpboise.org/vintage-tractors  which has a PDF for each tractor, so you can focus on the ones that you are interested in

or this video:

of course, I did both, and then read articles about the collection
