My Story

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.

The Auction

Sadly, the tractor collection needs to be downsized due to health issues. Another reason for selling is to pass on a love of these iconic tractors to a younger generation. The sale items will include tractors from the 1930s to 1970s, antique lawn and garden tractors, and tractor attachments. Related items include old time creamery equipment and single-cylinder engines. This is an event that antique tractor enthusiasts won't want to miss.

The auction is being conducted both live and online by ProCountry Auction in Mondovi, WI on June 21, 2025. Photos of the items can be seen at the ProCountry page for DOUG FISK VINTAGE TRACTOR COLLECTION & MACHINERY. There are also promotional photos and videos below for more views of the equipment being sold.

Questions about the auction should go to ProCountry Auction by phone (715-495-0814) or email (info@procountryauction.com). For other correspondence, send email to oakridgefarm@garyfisk.mozmail.com.
