My Story | Auction | Photos | Videos | Back to garyfisk.com
I grew up driving International Harvester and Allis Chalmers tractors on a farm in northwestern Wisconsin. In the 1960s, I worked for International Harvester as a sales representative. This job included demonstrating Farmall tractors at the Minnesota State fair. My passion for IH Farmall tractors has never waned. During retirement, I've restored the tractors seen below to near original condition. Most of these are IH Farmalls, but the collection also includes John Deere, Allis-Chalmers, Ford, McCormick-Deering, and BF Avery. The lawn and garden tractors are four Cub Cadets, a Wheel Horse, and a Ford. The photos and videos below are a few examples from my collection. Please enjoy these photos from the collection.
Sadly, the tractor collection was sold at auction in June, 2025 due to health issues. Another reason for selling was to pass on a love of these iconic tractors to a younger generation. Here is an announcement that includes praise from a former student.
The hope is that the new owners will enjoy and treasure these machines. Doug and his family greatly appreciate all of the family, friends, and neighbors who helped to make this event possible.
Aaron Gierok from Gierok Farms interviewed Douglas about the collection in the fall of 2023. This two part video showcases the collection and includes many tractor stories. The first part had 29k views in a little over one year with very positive comments.
