Offered with No Reserve, this 1947 B.F. Avery Model V tractor represents a classic piece of post-World War II American agricultural history.

This example is an older restoration that continues to present well and comes from a serious collector who is downsizing his collection. Power comes from a Hercules 65ci ZXB3 four-cylinder engine paired with a durable 3-speed manual transmission. Designed as a rugged and capable small-to-medium farm tractor, the Model V featured a full frame design and drawbar setup that contributed to its reputation for durability and utility in everyday agricultural work. The tractor is described as a solid-running example that reflects the straightforward engineering and dependable nature that made these tractors popular among American farmers. The older restoration has held up nicely over the years, with the tractor maintaining a strong vintage presentation appropriate for shows, displays, or collector use. The overall appearance reflects the character and charm of an authentic working tractor from the late 1940s, while retaining the mechanical simplicity enthusiasts appreciate in early postwar farm equipment. Manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, B.F. Avery tractors were especially popular throughout the Midwestern United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1951, the company was acquired by Minneapolis-Moline, further cementing Avery's place in the history of American agricultural machinery. Today, surviving examples such as this Model V remain sought after by tractor collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate their historical significance and distinctive styling. This 1947 B.F. Avery Model V presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of an increasingly collectible postwar American tractor.
