Picked this sign up recently it's 8ft. Have any of you seen this sign before? All I can find are the smaller ones with the tractor attached to the bottom. Also would this have been a single or double sided sign? Any one know a good neon and can guy out here in the west?

Saw one sell at at auction nearby about 10 years ago. Double sided.

How about a bigger one with the Tractor attachment?

Isn't the ford and tractor one piece? Or are they 2 separate signs?

The signs that have the tractor attached are only 72" mine is 96" and the ones with the tractor only have 4 neon holes around the perimeter, mine has 8.

These were mounted back to back in a can, they never had the tractor below. Signs were made by Mulholland sign co. I was told they had these at bigger dealerships. Later found a picture of one on a pole in service. If I can find it I will post a picture. Nice condition on your sign!

Northern lights neon in Monroe Washington probably has a pattern and is VERY good. If you are up this way or can call for a reference down there it would be very helpful. Very nice sign. White porcelain housings would be the way to go though for sure. Limited supply left, what really makes the sign.
Good luck

Thank you Anthony and Craig. I'd love to see that photo of it mounted to the pole. I hope you find it.
Thanks guys

Beautiful sign, didn't know they came without tractor underneath. Like it better without, this sign is number one on my dream wish list! Someday....

If I were you I'd make my own can, put in the insulators, transformer, and wiring. Then bring it to a neon place, save you some cash! Cans aren't hard to make, just an angle iron frame riveted to sheet metal. An air nibbler makes cutting the back side sheet easy. Cans are fun to make IMO.
