There"s very little on the ouside that gives any indication of what it once was but inside there is a main aisle along the South Wall and there are large murals painted of all the different models of tractors going clear back to the early McCormick-Deerings. Each mural is about 8 X 10 feet. Many of us have tried to photograph these over the years but the lighting is very poor and the aisle isn"t wide enough to get each mural properly focused. It"s a real shame because this is in the part to be demolished and these will be lost forever.

This area was once home to Farmall, Case and Minneapolis Moline tractor plants and the IH combine plant in addition of course to being John Deere"s corporate HQ, now the only thing left is JD unless you count the fact that my employer builds certain models of CNH tractor cab frames. It seems appropriate that they are built in the old Farmall building.
