[AT] Stepfather's collection

If you are looking to liquidate the majority of it, auction is the way to 
go. Get a couple auctioneers to take a look at it and give you an estimate. 
Hard to say whether to go with an auctioneer that specializes in farm 
equipment or one that deals primarily in antiques and collectibles (if you 
go that route be sure they deal in farm antiques). If you have enough items, 
maybe do 2 auctions--one for modern working equipment and the other for 
antiques.

You've got some nice stuff, you've also got some things that are probably 
going to go for scrap value. A lot of old equipment is just not worth the 
investment to restore it unless you are doing it for sentimental reasons. 
Did he collect small items such as wrenches, corn shellers, cast iron seats? 
Some of those items can get pretty pricey. With all that equipment, did he 
have a decent shop? Shop equipment sells pretty darn well also.

John,
Thanks for the reply.We're trying to figure out what to do with it all.  We 
may end up doing an auction.  At this point, we'd like to just get it all 
identified.
He was actively farming just a few years ago but when his health went south, 
he started renting the land out so all the machines have been sitting since 
2013.
Some of these he or his father farmed with.  Others were items he collected 
from neighbors.
Thanks,Shawn

Got to ask, what are you guys going to do, auction it all off? I noticed a
rather large dumptruck in one photo as well as a Versatile tractor inside a
building, was he still actively farming? Were these items he collected or
stuff he farmed with and just didn't trade it in on newer models.

Here's some photos I took this past weekend.  Sorry if some are a little
fuzzy or dark. I'm not much of a photographer.
Please add a comment to the photo if you can identify them.
