Rare tractors go south

Some local rare tractors are heading south of the boarder -- keep in mind these prices are in
Canadian dollars (I believe). Last I looked the Canadian dollar was around .78cents

money/
 
A little more detail here -- but not much. Some body out in yt land must have knowledge as to why they would spent that kind of money --- just what makes them so different other than the numbers on the hood .

I'm the "son" of Al McIntosh who is having his farm auction on August 16, 2017.

Here's the scoop, plain and simple.



Dad negotiated a deal for the 73 and 77 with "Jim Healy", Sales Manager for IH US.



Dad personally bought and paid for, DIRECT, International Harvester for the 7388 and 7788, both SN 501 - IH did not want these tractors in dealer possession.



These tractors are all original equipment and HOURS.



Both tractors were delivered to the Yorkton Farm Equipment dealership at the same time - from there they were trucked direct to the "farm", where the auction is being held.



If anybody's interested, call dad at 204-733-2321, at lunch time or after hours - he's usually busy in the yard.



I had the pleasure to command the 7788 in field work - I'm proud of that!

For some reason the link didn't work for me, but I found the article and I'll post this for anybody that the link won't work for. The 7788 went for 177,500 Canadian and the 7388 went for 120,000 Canadian. Same buyer took both.
 

While at the NY Expo auction the owner of the 520 claimed it was a rare tractor . When questioned he said there were lots of B's manufactured for 17 years and the 520 was only built for 2 years.
