The restored antique Farmall sits next to the Gold Signature Edition Farmall tractor at the Case IH display in Progress City, IL to commemorate the company’s 60th year as an FFA sponsor. Case IH is auctioning the Gold Edition Farmall on ebay and all proceeds will go toward charity. The auction ends at the close of this week. Senior Marketing Director John Koetz says the 18-hp, sub-compact tractor customized with distinctive red-and-gold paint is a commemorative nod to the International Harvester heritage of Case IH. He says International Harvester manufactured special “Gold Demonstrator” tractors in the late 1960s and 1970s. John says Case IH is proud of its long-standing relationship and says the youth involved in FFA represent the future of agriculture. The local FFA chapter is auctioning off the restored antique Farmall as well to help raise chapter funds.

John also points out the commemorative Gold Edition Farmall is a smaller version of the limited edition Gold Signature Edition Magnum® and Steiger® tractors Case IH is selling to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Magnum tractor and 50th anniversary of Steiger.
