Thanks as well! I much prefer the patina look over repainted, but that's just me. Gotta love the lichens growing all over the H.
As for auctions, it did not come from any auction. Everything that belonged to the collector that was for sale was, quite simply listed on Marketplace. This H was the last machine to be sold. People seem to get scared off by the front end loaders. When my father bought a Farmall M with loader, the seller told him that he got multiple offers to buy the tractor without the loader but refused to sell it without. Best guess is that people don't want to deal with the hydraulics. I, on the other hand, think its unique and kinda cool.
This is where it was sitting before I bought it:
