Most is good shape but are farm tractors - not show tractors, in my opinion - if Gary owned it , it was in good mechanical condition except for the 220, looks like a nonrunner- the 6080,s will be hot items

The auction listing has 3 of D17's listed as Series 4 and 2 of them are not Series 4's. 

So many nice tractors at that auction. As said the 6080 FWA will definitely be hot items and go for a premium price for sure. I expect most of his collection will being good money as it looks like they have been shedded and well maintained. Now, if only I could hit the lottery

I don't see a 6080

I bought a 500 loader from him about 4 years ago to put on a 190. When my son and I got there and started talking AC's he insisted on showing us some of his. He drove us around to five different sheds filled with all the tractors you see on the sale bill. Every tractor we saw was shedded. He didn't know us from Adam but treated us like we'd been neighbors for years. Class act man.

I think at one time he had around 50 tractors...give or take a few...

Gary would entertain you most of the day at his farm.  I bought several hefeford bulls from him plus a New Holland haybine.   We used AC equipment on the farm so we both enjoyed talking about the same things.  Very nice person and I do miss him.

I count 34 tractors, 6 of them 6080's!

Two of the older tractors were 1800 and 2200 hrs, and I assume that is correct.

Im pretty close if anyone out of town buys anything and needs it stored at my place - i can haul anything up to 10000 lbs- and Ill be at the sale

D-17 S3 diesel shows 1071 hrs...….D-17 S4 gas shows 2212 hrs......D-21 shows 1868 hrs...…..D-19 diesel shows 2130 hrs.

how did he have so many low hour tractors. Did he buy them new or just seek out low hr equipment 

Gary and my dad have been friends for 40 years. I’m proud to say Gary was a friend of mine too. Over the years we bought and sold and traded many things. Dad was an AC mechanic and liked Ford trucks. So they were instantly friends. After I graduated college and still lived at home, There were a lot of nights Gary would call to talk to dad and he would be asleep. Most times I would end up talking tractors for an hour or more. In recent years he would just call my cell at night to talk tractors.

I can almost guarantee all the hours are correct. Gary looked for those tractors and he wasn’t afraid to pay for them. I remember a couple yers ago he called me telling me about the 500 hour 6080 he found and was going to buy. If my memory is correct he said he paid $25 or $27k for it. I think he told me he paid $22k for the 7020 but it’s supposed to be nice and was local to him. The 6080 with 3600 hours was my dads tractor and unless it goes crazy I intend to buy it back Sat**day. I know the hours are correct on it. I should have never let dad sell it. I’ll be the short bald guy bidding on it if I’ve made you feel sorry for me. Lol

Gary was a great guy and a great friend. He loved Allis and he sought nice ones.   I’d feel comfortable buying about anything there.

If you google the address, the pin is a ways northeast of the farm.  Near some grain bins are 10 AC's near the edge of a field.  Will be interesting to see what everything brings.  I see the sale isn't too far from DMillers place.  Maybe someone can stop by and see how his KW project is coming.
