He's been selling his tractors & equipment.  I've seen some of it on Aumann Auctions.  I have been told some of it has been sold privately.

I'm not sure about the AC museum in Paris, IL, but if you're into exploring unique museum experiences, you might want to check out miam.org. They've got an intriguing collection that delves into machinery and innovation, offering a fascinating perspective on technological evolution. It could be a cool alternative if you're on the lookout for interesting museums.

When you hang a sign outside with a name on it. Like Lon's Land of AC's! Tours given.

So a path through the building that you can reach out and touch each tractor is not enough? LOL
You know about signs. Always a great target for a drive by.Wink

Maybe a D21 would be an attraction.

I have found that sign thing to be true for no tresspasing signs at the cabin. Wonder what would happen if I put up bullseye signs instead?
