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

[Herb Metz]

Al & Others,
How about the Red Power clubs, regional shows, magazines, featured shows in 
your area, or publication similar to GA Farmers and Consumers Market 
Bulletin. Also, more description on the two model 52R pull type 
combines;width of cut,  year of late model, model no. or size of Continental 
engine, one is a tanker and the other is a sacker(?), size and condition of 
tires, condition of two engines, years last used, and crops last harvested 
gor each, approx weights of each, general appearance, always shedded,  etc.
Yes, we all are with you in that we hope the scrapper does not get them.
Herb

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
