[Farmall] July 9 auction

[Arthur Umland]

On Saturday July 9th I attended the Rex Balcom auction near Mitchell, 
SD. Rex is a mechanic and very particular with his painting abilities 
as well. All tractors and related items were of excellent quality, with 
restored tractors better then new. The following is a partial list of 
some items and their sale price.

Quite a few of our IHC SD Chapter 21 members were present at the 
auction, but so were a number of out-of-state bidders who had much 
deeper pockets. A lot of these tractors went to a home outside of SD. 
Bidders were there from PA, IL, MO, WY, AZ that I know of.
