Hello all: Yes there is a huge collection just SW of Lake Wilson MN. (about 9 miles from me) They built 4 or 5 huge buildings to put them in. I think the one brother was the most active and he started about 1980. They have the buildings packed tight in places with tractors. So close together that one can't walk around them in places. Most are IHC tractors. I think they said they have 40 plus of just the "F" series tractors. F-12, 14, 20 and 30's etc.. Many are the letter and number series. My personal takes is that many tractors have not been run or even moved for such a long time that their wheels have settled down into the dirt. These buildings are newer but there is no concrete floor. I'll guess the buildings are maybe 60 X 120..I see he opens all doors on real nice dry days to air everything out.. Most tractors seem to be just as they were the day they were purchased. I didn't see much to indicate long term storage prep applied but it would be hard to detect the simple act of "fogging" an engine the very last time it was shut down. I'll look for some pictures as I took a few when they hosted the Minn IHC chapter meeting in 2006 and all were welcome to look. agpilot

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
