Farmall Tractor
****PART OF THE JAY CIMINO COLLECTION, THIS TRACTOR IS SELLING NO RESERVE****
The Farmall Cub, conceived and developed as the Farmall X or Baby Farmall, was introduced by International Harvester in 1947. The sales division had concluded that southeastern cotton and tobacco farmers could use a machine that was smaller than the Farmall A. More than a garden tractor, the compact Cub was conceived as a real working machine for small acreage farmers. Of course, this philosophy made it the perfect tractor for large-acreage estates with lush gardens as well. Production began in Louisville, Kentucky, late in 1947. Nearly 135,000 rolled out over the next four years. Half the purchasers were first-time tractor buyers replacing horses or mules on farms where the Cub was the only tractor.
The Farmall Cub presented at auction is a nice, restored example. Having lived in climate controlled garage for some time, the tractor is reported to run. No attempt was made to start the tractor prior to the auction. Jay Cimino was a Business Icon in the automotive industry in Colorado, a renowned philanthropist and an avid collector of cars. Please note that all of the cars in the Jay Cimino Collection have been stored in a climate-controlled environment for many years, with only limited driving. The Jay Cimino team has confirmed that the vehicles start and run. Please note, however, as a result of their extended storage and static display, all the cars will benefit from additional mechanical attention before being driven.
