To help settle the Estate of the late Loren & Elaine Peterson a Live On-site Public Auction will be held on the farm just north of Sparta, MI

The Peterson family would like to thank each of you for your time, consideration and support.

NOTE: After nearly 35 years of successful dairy farming, Loren & Elaine retired, sold the farm and moved just up the road to this location. After retiring from the farm, they traveled the country seeking out Farmall tractors for restoration. Many hours were spent in Loren’s workshop, restoring these tractors back to their original condition, new paint, new tires and anything else that needed to be done. 1000’s of miles were put on the trucks going to tractor shows all over the US. The Petersons were members of several antique tractor clubs and were well known for their outstanding line of Farmall tractors, several featured in Farmall books & calendars. Now, with their passing and according to their wishes, all will be sold at Live Public Auction. Along with the tractor collection, complete workshop, trucks, trailers and large farmhouse full of 60 years of farm living, collectibles and farm primitives, a nice collection of toy tractors, guns and tractor parts make this an Auction worthy of your special attention.

Be sure to make plans to be just North of Sparta, MI on Saturday May 17 @ 10:00AM for the start of this country Auction.

For your convenience we will have ALL off-street field parking, lunch trailer, wash-up station and porta-a-jons, also a large pole barn in case of inclement weather.
