[AT] Tractors and other stuff...

[Easley, Greg A.]

Recently, I was given first shot at ten or so letter series IH tractors and a nice compliment of implements.
This collection was put together in the 90's by an older fellow who had good intentions of restoring it all.
By the time he'd acquired all of the tractors he wanted, he didn't have the gumption to do the restoring.
Everything was stored under cover, but the years took a toll and all of them are now stuck.  All but one
or two were good runners when they were put into storage.
There's no question that they are worth a lot less now than what they were back then.

I'll take your word for it! Around here anything green goes for more money--whether its newer or older. It's largely due to marketing. You may be right about no market due to aging collectors. I have a feeling that a lot of us are going to wind up with tractors worth a lot less than what they were back in the 90's.

I just listed dad's thresher for sale and have had no interest.  If it doesn't sell I may tow it to the scrapyard come springtime--horrible thing to do to a running machine but when there are no buyers there is no alternative. Can't find any antique clubs interested in it. The last few years our antique club existed, practically no one would watch us thresh, folks just were not interested.
