Tractor Auction Draws Men From Far Away


Fans of antique tractors came to Middletown from as far away as Illinois and Nebraska on Saturday, to participate in an auction of part of the collection of Ron Emanuelson. Under a spectacular Autumn sky, Emanuelson (starting the tractor shown in the bottom photo) beamed with joy as people admired the 41 tractors, 2 antique farm trucks, and assorted antique tractor parts displayed on his farm.

Emanuelson frequently displays some of his favorite old tractors in front of his barn and silos at the corner of Higby and Country Club Road. He raises hay and pumpkins in Middletown and soybeans in Kansas. Fortunately for Middletown tractor enthusiasts, the 41 tractors represent only about half of his collection.
