Calling PHPaul and all other vintage tractor aficionados - Some cool pics for you...
So I pass by the area every few weeks and I keep thinking, I have to post this up for the tractor guys on the forum. So I asked Mrs. Cooker to stop so I could snap some pics. Not sure if these are “cool”, or just run of the mill old junk. If these are cool, I wouldn’t be against trying to contact the owner so I can go inside the fence and get you some pics, and possibly details to go with them.
I think they’re pretty cool. I hope you like them.

Here is the google street view. The image is old, because now the tractors are lined up on both sides of the driveway.

They’re totally out of order because of how postimage uploads them...

That's a nice collection of late 30's through late 50's tractors! Couple of the John Deeres are somewhat rare.

In pictures #3 and #6 there's a BW (Model B, Wide) which was a fairly low production option.

Picture #11 has a Hi Crop in it, also relatively low production.

#16 has one that looks like a 420 or 430. Hard to say from that angle. They're not particularly unusual, but if its a 435 with the Detroit Diesel in it, they're quite collectible.

Thanks for posting!

Nice, but I'm liking that military truck in the background better.

Great pics! I don't know where this is but I would think leaving these out in the sun and the weather would be real hard on the paint, metal and rubber. A few years of that kind of storage would certainly lower the value of them unless they are mechanically junk now.

These are in central Arizona. A town called Cornville. The sun is brutal. There isn’t much rain, but it’s right on a busy road and there is a lot of dust.

Pretty dang cool. Neat to see all those JD A & B models. Looks like an AC B (can’t figure out the tires, must have just been used on roads) and...I don’t know MMs well at all, but that looks like a great candidate for further restoration.
