Thanks for the link.. Made a couple of bids online.

Helping the aged survive and thrive! 1953 CA

Bought the nos cylinder bars. Now just need to figure how to get them home.

Is there any place to see what things brought?

Looks like the "buys" of the sale were the WCs restored for up to $2,000, the wd45s, and the all crop with Corn head for $900...

It's all on hi bid website.

I don't understand what happened to the Special tractor, looks like after $70k it then got bid back in? Don't know, just reading the bids on hi bid. Could be reading it wrong.

Galatians 5:22-24

"I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!"

I am in trumansburg ny. Think i will contact arland on Monday and see if he can hold them until i can make arrangements for the cows. I have enough stuff i need to pick up in the midwest and i have never been to the gathering of the orange.

Sale took forever. Seven hours i think. Might have been better off just to sell the shipping stuff online only. Then the big stuff live

Hibid shows results. If they are accurate, id say prices were very soft.

Some of the tractor prices may have been a little soft but overall prices were very strong, for the seller. The memorabilia especially. $10,250 for the IB? Wow!! Yes it was very nice, but 10 grand??? Check I wrote was $375, over half of that was for plow shares. Also got an unused cutting edge for an Oxnard blade. The 20-35 got to $130,000 and stalled out. Arland no-sale'd it. The original owner's grandson was there, think he had the hi bid. Will be interesting to see if they make a deal.

Sale started at 09:00, we finally got in the truck and headed home at 08:00, they were still selling stuff then! It was a great time, kind of like a family reunion before Hutch. Talked to Creston quite a bit, going to have to try hard to make it to Cotton days this fall.

Prices of this stuff is getting very Crazy. Even though it didnt sell for the $130,000 , that is getting out of reach for most of us. I was going to bid on literature & glad i didnt. People are bidding Stupid prices on this stuff. I am a Allis Chalmers Lover , been all my life. I will Never be able to buy any of this Literature the way people bid Stupid High prices just to get this stuff. For $the 130,000 + you could buy a Oilpull . There is Nothing Special about a 20-35 to pay that amount of money. People like my self who are on a limited budget would not have had a Chance to buy a whole lot of nothing at those prices. Unless you have a big wallet you cant spend alot to buy anything big with the buyers premium that they had. It was nice to watch online. Would have been nice to buy.

Wjohn, yaz says there are no more new cylinder bars no where

I would say the earliest pull-type combine went higher than I would have expected. It wasn't a very early first year one or anything. And I had no clue what to expect out of the Super 100, so that was interesting to see the final price for online.

Hauling/location is a huge factor with the combines, of course. I'd have bid on the 60A or small bin 66 for what they sold for, if they'd been within tow-home distance.

1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45

I figured the LaPorte WD would bring double what it did.

Even with the 15% premium that is still under $2000

Anyone know which running gear was under the AC Barge /hoist 6~1/2’ x 12’ wagon?
Hibid had a pic of its hoist ID badge, but not one for its running gear?

That is unfortunate. He must not be able to sell them for what it costs to have a place manufacture new ones or re-rubber originals.

In February I contacted him about bars and they are available, but they’re $1,090/set plus shipping. I was thinking about threshing some Lima beans but I’m not sure I’ll make enough off the gig to make a dent in the cost of the bars.

Mike, it was good talking to you at the auction! Always a good time getting to catch up with old friends and make new ones.

As was said, it seemed all the literature went very high. A lot of the tractors and combines disappointed me, but my trailer was filling up quick and I wasn’t going to make two trips. Interesting to say, of his 12 combines, 6 found new homes here in western Oklahoma. I bought two (60A with windrow pick up and the camel back) and a guy about 20 minutes north of me bought a big bin 66, 72, 90, and SP100. They had a few old combines already and they have young grandchildren who have taken a liking to it all, so I’m glad they’re going to a good home. I also know the gentleman who bought the Super 100, he’ll take good care of it. The threshing machine really surprised a lot of people at $17k, but it was about $20k with the online buyers premium. It went to Pennsylvania.
