I live about 30 miles from there and had to be out of town this weekend so I went on Thursday and checked out the tractors and set up an online account. However not all the tractors were on the live online auction. The Rc wasn't and only one of the Cs. He had some nice tractors. The Moline was a nice one. Couldn't believe that Bailer on brought 225.00. I was wanting one of the WC parts tractors but online didn't show which one they were selling just WC no picture. Also wanted the fenderes but couldn't get my bid to go through. Would've like to have been there in person. ------------- 1 Corinthians 1:18 1969-190xt-III. 1966 190xt gas. 1966 190xt Cab. 1948-G. 1937-WC unstyled. 1950-B. 1951-CA. 1966-D17-IV |

The internet listings were definitely limited. The D19 was the only internet sale that I recalled. One WC parts tractor (you can see part of it in the D14 photo above) sold for $50. It was pretty rough. It had both fenders but don't know if they could have been salvaged. I'm with you. The baler was the steal of the sale, in my opinion, with the Moline and some of the restored smaller Allis tractors coming in second. |

Thanks for the pix and prices. He could have done a lot of mowing with at least three side-mount sickle bar mowers and one batwing bushhog. The last D19 photo; I could drool on that apparently beautiful steering wheel. Looks like an old truck cab approx. 100' behind the seat of that D19? Herb(GA) |

$2500 for an 8N and $200 for a NH 66 baler? I would've given $200 for the baler way before I gave $2500 for an 8N. And that's if I needed a tractor. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| The cab you saw belonged to a complete Model T truck. I don't know what it sold for. |

Thanks for the pictures. There were some nice tractors there and the prices were not that bad. The baler was a steal but I agree with Tyler - $2500 for the 8N was a lot more than I would have bid.

| This sale was sad but I got the 7060 it had a 7080 motor thus the confusion. |
