[AT] A somewhat self-serving question: how to sell a pull combine?

Long story short, I need (want) to re-structure my collection.  I have an IH 856 that needs injector pump work, I have four Super A's that are in various stages of mechanical health, and Mrs. Jones and I will hopefully be moving into our new house in June/July and I would like to throw a tractor shop up in the back but that shop probably won't be big enough for TWO pull combines. IN short, too many projects, not enough time or $$. Anyhow I have a '44 model 52R McCormick-Deering combine with a Continental power unit that I need to find a good home.  I hate to get rid of it but I have a late model 52R tanker with Cub engine that I really like better.  Combines eat up a lot of space.

What's the best way to market this?  I haven't tried Craigslist because I am a little scared of a scrapper going after it.  I've posted it on YT a few times but no takers.  I wish I could connect with an old iron club or other collector(s) that would want it for display or exhibition, it's too nice not to go to a good, loving home.

What would you do?

Al
