[SEL] Tractor on Ebay

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Thanks John.  I noticed the front end looked real strange and the
ability to reconfigure it for the operation needed would be unique.  I
had never thought about the significance of the historical progression
of Avery.  Pretty neat to consider all those changes in a short period
of time.

 According to the seller there are only 12 of them known to exist. Not
all 
tractor collectors are so boring as to be content with a Farmall M or a
John 
Deere A. It may be an ugly duckling but to those who know what they are 
looking at, it would be an attention getter. Also I believe it had some 
features not found on any other models that allowed the front end to be 
configured differently. That alone is a conversation piece. Also look at
the 
name, Avery. They were building huge steamers and big gas tractors just
20 
years prior to when this one is built. To me that downsizing is an
important 
step in agricultural history.
