The models built in the 50's tend to fetch more money, mostly because they have larger motors. To my knowledge, unlike some wheel tractors,there is no particular serial number or series of numbers that is more collectible than others (maybe the very first or last produced??)
If they are collectible at all kind of depends on the definition of a collector. In my view, they aren't as collectible as wheel tractors. One of the reasons I am told is that they are more difficult to transport to shows and they often can't be used in parades because of the damage from the tracks. You will see a few at shows and as Sheldon can tell you, there is a whole community of red tracked machine owners over at redpower.com. Most of them, like myself, use our crawlers for regular work. They are a nice machine for specialized uses and typically more affordable than some other dozers or crawlers.
