Just tuned in to see a D17 Ser. IV sell Diesel for $13,000! Looks like super gussied up stuff that's not that common is still bringing good money even in a soft market.... What did the WD45 Diesel bring? Appeared to be the only one in the collection..... The 7040, 7050, and 7060, assuming there was nothing majorly wrong with them, did seem like steals......If I'm remember right, I think each one brought under the 5k range?

Did I see a D-17 LP sell for $1000? Maybe it was a D-19. I though they were sought after. ------------- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure. |

| Probably one of the worst auctions I've seen all year. I think a lot has to do with Mecum - nobody trusts them. watched some today and they'd pretend they had a bid then drop down and beg. The auctioneers had no idea what they were selling at all. You could tell by the way they tried talking about things. I see now all the tractors have the "no reserve" tag off of them. better watch out who you'll be bidding against tomorrow - betting it will be the auctioneers! Sad - met Mr. Nesbitt at a gathering of the orange once. |

I don't know this to be gospel truth, Creston, but here's the story I heard. As you know, all 440's are steigers painted orange, but with a few cosmetic differences. Namely a different grill. Supposedly, the last 10 440s didn't even have the cosmetic differences. They were 100 percent steiger, just painted orange. But technically, still a 440. Darrel |

Who all has gone to the auction? I have been to the Davenport auction and feel that they do a good job with the auctions. Did anyone do any bidding on the forum? I bid on a couple but onsite bidders took over where I left off! George had a few tractors we had in our collection at one time. Andy ------------- Andrew Gubbels Gubbels Restoration |

D 12 was a series 3 sold for 11,060.00 US dollars and is about what they have been bring at auctions when restored to that level. 8070 in US dollars sold for 26070.00 George had some many rare tractors. and with the sale last week 150 sold in PA. This had effect on the price of the tractors. I had not bought any tractors for about 6 months till about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have bought 10 tractors all over the place and I am done for awhile. Shipping also has to be figure in all this. From George place, it is going to be over $3000.00 for one semi load. |

We were at Georges sale and found Mecum crew to be very professional! I had my doubts from watching their sales online but was surprised when i got there. They do not have as much tractor knowledge as some other companies but very nice to work with. NO ONE can be an expert on everything they sell! Most of the descriptions that they read before selling are the details that George had on each piece with a sticker, his info not MECUM. The low prices on common tractors I believe has a lot to do with LOCATION, we were 750 Mile from home. Had those tractors been here in the Midwest i think we would have seen a lot better prices. It is hard to justify paying $6-800 freight on a $1000 tractors.
As for the 440 with the longer hood I do not buy the last 10 were different because it was serial number 1655 and i have serial 1830 and it is just a normal hood. Our opinion after looking at it was that Steiger or someone made a kit to add pto and you extended the hood to hide and mount the hydraulic pump. This was a very nice conversion but looking underneath you could still tell it was added after. Also, when we watched that same tractor sell at a Polk auction in 2014, Polk had no better info about it, nor did the previous owner...that should say something about it there. Again, it can't always be the auction company at fault for information, good or bad. Not like there are black and white records on AC's we can go look at. |

| I think Mecum is probably better at their consignment sales than somebodys collection. I went to one in michigan last year and it didn't go that good either. I also think tractor knowledge is pretty important when you are selling tractors and lets face it, they are car guys. Nothing about them not being good people, just what it is. The more common tractors wouldn't have been that good of a buy with the shipping. A lot of the other stuff sure would have been even adding $1000 to the selling price, still a lot cheaper than what you can buy them for here, some of them ALOT. I was surprised there was only one ad in Allis Connection only a couple weeks before the sale. Maybe it was too late for people to plan for it? I don't know, was kind of depressing. I sure felt bad for George had to be hard to watch. |

I was camping at George's since Wednesday afternoon and just got home late this afternoon (360 miles). Helped a lady from Mecum get a more accurate description for the parts skids etc. My first Mecum tractor auction and found them to be very professional and very nice people to work with. They tried their best for George. The descriptions were mostly supplied by George. I'm sure George lost money but he put this all together in the past 5 years or so and that too many tractors to sell in two days. Location of the sale and freight cost had a big bearing on the prices. Common tractors bring common prices. I'm sure some went back to become working tractors again. Very nice and rare tractors sold well. Yellow things were a bargain. I bought the I 600 loader tractor for $3500 cdn. I found the 220 fwd for George and it sold for $75,000 can. It was and original unrestored bare back. He made good money on that one! I didn't buy it because I already have one. Mecum used .78 exchange rate $100 can = $78US or the other way $100 US purchases $128.20 cdn. I think Mecum did a first class job and were very professional. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

Although an interesting piece it wasnt a model A farm tractor, my best guess is it was of the industrial tractors from a grader, dump buggy or maybe a Fred Cooper creation? I didn't have enough curiosity to dig out my literature to try an figure it out, LOL |

That's is called the current plow market. I had 4 field ready Allis pull type plows advertised here and YT for going on 4 years. When the price got down to scrap and still no buyers I took the shares and coulters off of them and the rest went to scrap. Sold the shares and coulters to a dealer in such. |

What an unbelievable event this auction was. The travel distance was a challenge for me as I just came back from the Honesdale auction and I really was not fully recovered. Anyway I made the trip and like I said it was AWESOME just to be a part of the auction.I had sold George several tractors over the years and just wanted to see them as he had restored. The D17 Series IV Diesel High Crop he purchased from me and he had done a first class job restoring it. It brought more money than I ever saw one of those tractor sell for and more than I could ever justify to buy it back. George is a first class Fellow and Mecum Auction did a first class job for him. Yes some of the items sold well and many of them did not. But like several others have noted, many factors effected the price of the more common tractors and parts. Met several forum members at the auction and enjoyed conversing with them. Glad I went.

Bob- You got what we thought was one of the nicest looking ones there for a real good price. Liked the rubber treads, yellow accents, the big front spoked wheels and the lettering on the rear. They did a good job on that one, it's a real eye catcher. It will definitely show well, great job! |
