 Does anyone know where this went? $1250 Sold today and I missed the auction. Would be a perfect fit in my collection!!

 I found one of those in a ditch, behind a couple junked All Crop combines. I saved it and sold it as it was to a collector for 1/10 that price, but it needed some tin work and new chain, and had everything froze up. It was also lacking parts of the drive and I wasn't sure what the mounts with it were for.------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I guess I read that wrong. If the sale included the tractor, that was a good buy. I was thinking just the bale loader  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

From the way I saw it, it was tractor and bale loader. Loader had been set up with a hydraulic pump and flow valve. Looked like a steal to me. Missed it by couple hours:( ------------- WD45, '62 D17 Diesel, '65 190XTD, '74 7030, 1958 Roto-Baler |

| Not sure why someone would spend the time to change this to a hydraulic system when the factory set up worked so nice. |

Put a bale kicker at the top, and you'd be all set! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Consider yourself lucky that you missed out on a McScrewU auction

Back in the early 1960's dad was down In the back. He bought 1 and we mounted it on the WD 45. We boys rode the rack. About 3 years ago it was stollen from the farm. The worked fine. 1 exception, there was a set screw on the PTO shaft that would not stay tight. You would have to stop in the middle of a load and tighten it. One day unknown to dad, I drove it the 1 3/4 mile to the blacksmith shop and had that darn little screw spot welded. I don't think dad ever knew.

Wow....one can figure anything out here!!! 1) McGrew Auctions aka McScrew..... sounds like there is history there!! 2) I was lucky..... that doesn't happen very often 3) dr p had the winning bid that didn't meet a reserve, so now he has a story about McScrew Auctions Sorry to hear you didn't get it bought, from the sounds of it consider yourself lucky!! I thought $1250 was a good buy. Better luck for both of us next time.. ------------- WD45, '62 D17 Diesel, '65 190XTD, '74 7030, 1958 Roto-Baler |

| Yeah, I tried to contact them about the reserve price and they never got back to me. Then I spoke to a bunch of friends who said you NEVER want to do business with McGraw so I never pushed it. I have a c with a bale loader but it has a hard time with a full wagon |

Watch for it to return again to an auction near you. That how those tractor jockeys roll. It may not be a a McScrewU auction but at one of his buddies. When I was still going to auctions (before the buyers penalty) I saw the same tractor at about a dozen different auctions. Each time it had a new story before the bidding. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits.

So dr p bought it..... wait ......He had the winning bid but didn't get it, but it sold!! I am confused but I get it. Kinda like a car that hasn't been titled for a year but is a one owner and been to 3 different car lots Just think how cheap things could be if everyone involved didn't make a profit This site has all the information!!!! ------------- WD45, '62 D17 Diesel, '65 190XTD, '74 7030, 1958 Roto-Baler |
