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

[charlie hill]

What I meant was,  I don't know what model my grandfather had but I bet it
might well have been a 52R

Al, have you tried NC Dept of Ag.  "Agriculture Review" publication?
It's well read by a lot of NC tractor collectors.  I used to get
the paper version but now get the online edition.  I bet your 52R is
like the one my grandfather had.

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
