[AT] Auction

[John Hall]

Doesn't surprise me, nobody really wants OLD tractors around here any 
longer. There was an auction a couple years ago with a bunch of stuff 
from the 30's--all sold for next to nothing. For the most part I feel 
the hobby has migrated to 60's and 70's equipment. Thats part of the 
reason I can't get motivated to sell my Farmall Regular nor my McCormick 
I-20.

Dad has a 44 (I think) DC Case I still tow wagons with. It is in BAD 
need of rear tires, but even used ones will cost more than the tractor 
would bring--and it will crank up and go at a moments notice. I figure 
its worth maybe $500.

A red belly Ford went for $1200, a John Deere B went  for $700, and an Allis Chalmers B with a sickle mower went for $700.   I bid $650 on that AC B but didn’t want it bad enough to bid over $700. That was the nicest tractor on the property. Electric start but magneto ignition. Nice tires and the mower was correct and in excellent shape as was the tractor.  A Farmall cub that was also pretty decent went for $1100.

While all were older restorations and converted to magneto ignition from coil,  all but one had either a bad radiator or water jacket crack.   The nicest Fordson there was a blue, English made Fordson on very good rubber and no cracks but one bad place in the radiator.   That one was the $700 one.  Lots of Fordson parts too.  Two nice undented  fuel tanks both went for under $40
