If you ever get the chance, go to Pioneer Village in Minden Nebraska. I don't remember how many buildings full of old tractors, on two stories, they have but it is a bunch.

The gentleman who started it is Harold Warp, the founder of what I believe may now be Plexiglass corporation. At least I know he started with some type of plastic window, and spent the money on buying and buying stuff for the village. It is worth seeing.
