Chatam Ontario Auction

I think the 7080 brought between $6500 and $7000.  I just got home from bringing the monoframe plow back I bought.  Nothing like a hour and a half ride down in the 8010 at first light to bore you to death.  You don't know if any body that bought one of the combine heads would part with one of those header wagons.  I should have been bidding on them rather than talking, could use one.

Early 20' @1000 or 1100$ (had hooks on the lower throat), 320 @1400$ (for the N), early 638 corn head @1100$, 638 for the N @2700$. All included the transport wagons. All in fair shape, flexes had short dividers and wood bat pickup reels with metal spring fingers. U-M sn12217 (?, hard to see,harder to read) dual fuel manifold (needed some crack repair), dual rear tires, good straight tractor, started and ran well @2450$. B sn 123645, ran well @1300. 7080, looked good, good rear radials @5900. 32" wood Advance Rumely Ideal thresher in decent shape at 1950$. AC forage chopper with windrow pickup @ 200$. AC silage blower (pipes in barn would need to be bought separately) @ 300$. I think these prices are correct, or at least close. The N and one corn head had been used this past fall. A lot of the equipment was in the weeds or had just been dragged out of the weeds or storage sheds.

6 16" solid frame (no add on furrows), mechanical reset on furrows.  I have a 5 plus one already that is in decent shape.  I never dug the snow out from the moldboards as I thought it would go for more money than I paid and I paid about the right price as 4 moldboards are shot and it needs a few coulters and a coupe shins a couple landsides.  The worst part was the steering spindle was frozen, not seized and I had a hard time getting it freed up after moving it out of where it was as it was so slippery from everyone walking on the snow.  Paid $550.  Wheel bearings on furrow wheel were gone, changed them with the depth wheel and packed them there to get it home.  Bought $800 for parts and I thought I would have enough to make one almsot new plow of the two....

I am going to say JD Smith farms?  Was on Colbourne st.  pretty much in town, right across from an industrial area.
