My buddy from Dubuque, Dale Leslein, sent me an email link to an upcoming Barrett-Jackson Auction (yep, the car guys auction company you see on cable TV). Very interesting.....a 1959 Porsche tractor up for sale on January 18th down in Scottsdale, AZ. It's a diesel, 3 cylinder, red, with rebuilt clutch and new European tires in front. Copy this link into your brower and have a look for yourself:
