20-35 with PTO

I was just wondering if anyone on here bought the 20-35 with PTO at the Faribault, MN auction Thursday?

Hello Darrel you to fred!!! Does anyone know how many of the pto's are out there. Larry L had one the one in MN and I have one, anymore???

I guess Dad talked to Larry Swenson yesterday while he was waiting 8 hours to get loaded and it was a younger gentleman from Fergus Falls that bought it, so at least it will stay in the state.

Allen, that's about the only ones that we know of, and the one Larry had was pretty rough.

Paul, the tractor was in pretty good shape, which is why it brought what it did, Dad tried to buy it to put the PTO on his but got out of his price range, not to mention the fact that his internet connection failed while that tractor was being sold or it might have cost the guy some more money...lol

So let the rest of us know what is good money. How much?

That doesn't sound that bad to me for one of those old beasts if it was in good condition.

I bought the 20-35 at the auction sale in Faribault MN on Thursday. I live about 20 miles from the auction site and hardly ever get lucky enough to be near one of these Circus/auctions very often so I didn't feel too bad bidding and buying a few things over the two days. I also bought the cream puff 1951 Chevrolet with 57k original miles, and the nice 1935 Dodge one ton flat bed. According to local legend, the 20-35 sat up near the house and was pretty special to the former owner (Paul Bussert). It wasn't special enough to sit in the shed, though that worked out just fine for me becuase the shed roof fell in over ten years ago and left most of the tractors inside in pretty tough shape. It supposedly turned over within the last 20 years and the can on the exhaust pipe is just about rusted in place so I think it's been there for a while.

The tractor is beautifully complete, down to the right carb and the PTO. I'll have to track down a right mag for it and some other odds and ends. There is original paint all over the tractor with shades of pinstriping even here and there in places. My family has a couple of A tractors and we're going more in the steel wheeled direction so it made sense to try and get this tractor, which almost certainly was sold locally. Considering the PTO, I think it went pretty fair considering how clean and complete it is.

I brought my own tractor on Friday to pull the trucks out and was almost mobbed to try and help people pull their purchases out. I helped 6-7 guys and then had to get out of dodge. It was a total mess as far as loading went and I'm glad I got my purchases out when I did.

I didn't attend that auction but been to a few highly advertised auctions with highend and rare items and let me tell you that you hit the nail square on the head with that statement.

I aint got nutten orange thats more valued than my morals or my true friends.

This tractor sat right up near the house and as tough as it was to get a tour of the grounds, I vaguely remember it back in 1999 when Paul walked my dad and I around the property. It is stuck, though it will get the full treatment when it's turn comes up. The PTO seems to be complete from what I can tell. I couldn't be happier with it so far and cannot wait to get it on the sawmill at the local show.

I was in shock walking around the tractors that were not pulled out. Granted there were some jewels in that mix (roughly 200-300 tractors and trucks), it was mainly a pretty plane Jane mix of stuff, and I feel pretty bad for the poor soul who will have to clean up that entire mess by June of next year.

Allen: There was either a 20-35 or a 25-40 at Ernie Knutsches auction that had a pto on it. I don't remember where it went. Dave.

I'd say you got a good buy, Andy. That is a nice straight complete tractor. You'll enjoy that one. I have three and they are my favorites of all my Allis's

Thanks to all for the congrats. The 51 Chevrolet is a half ton truck. It was originally blue and has pretty low miles and little rust, considering it sat outside it's entire life. I'm gonna put new fuel lines, brake lines, brakes, etc. in the truck and drive it back and forth to work as it's just too cool not to.
