[AT] Antique Tractor & Hit & Miss Engines Sale

[Will Powell]

Chuck and Herb, you're right, it was Beilers. I heard they got into some kind of trouble with taxes? That was quite a show. A good remedy for cabin fever. 



The scrap man was always there to gobble up the no-sale items. I remember a Large Oliver crawler that was so far gone that after the scrap man won the bid the auctioneer said it found the right home. 



I picked up some good parts there. Wish I had know about it before I bought some of my basket cases. Some tractors sold for a song and others didn't meet reserve. 



Sure was cold some years. That auction made me buy my first full CarHart farmer suit. I fit right in with that. When it wasn't cold it was a mud fest. 


I'll keep an eye out for the "Mudfest" auction. 



Regards, 


Will

Will, 
You probably are remembering the Beilers Auction. Yes, it has been a long 
time.   Last time I was there (1990's), Cecil Monson was having a ball; 
bought a truckload of equipment, etc.  Weather was decent; I was told that 
some years it was mud, some years snow.  A couple months before then I 
bought a G with endloader approx twenty miles from Beilers, sold the G at 
Beilers auction, and still have the endloader. It was windy,  my G was five 
tractors downwind of a Rumely.  The Rumely was started several times during 
the day, my G was well speckled with oil before the auction ended. Nearby 
was a huge collection (20'x40'x100') of old farm implements, etc. that did 
not sell or were never picked up.  Couple years later Beilers closed.

Auctions are a huge part of tractor collecting. 

What was that large auction topic that was bombarding the list a month or 
two ago? I can't remember anyone getting slapped down over that topic? 

Perhaps Raquel should have said something like "Has anyone seen the three 
wheeled G at WV auction?" 

Or "Anyone going to the Lapp Auction in Lancaster this Sunday?" 

Come to think of it,   what is the large tractor auction in Lancaster? It's 
usually in February? My father and I would always go. Bergeys? Was that it? 
It's been so long since I've been to an auction... I've been paying tuition 
now for 8 years with two more years to go... I can't wait for my youngest to 
graduate so I can be a consumer again... 

Maybe new posters should be given a little more slack? 

Regards, 
Will

You guys sure are a grumpy bunch.  It's those kind of mean spirited posts 
that will kill this list once and for all.  At this point and time, any post 
is better than none at all.   At least she wasn't pushing male enhancement 
pills, I've got enough of those to last several lifetimes! 

Enjoy, Joe

the big distraction then.  Not like there has been a lot of traffic lately 
and my computer has a delete key.
