I went to a farm/feed store auction yesterday and I bought a set of rear weights and a set of fenders for my H farmall. I gave $50.00 for them and everthing else that was on the pallet. I turned around and sold the better plow sweeps for $30.00 to a scrap iron man. I went on down the line and my wife had bought 2 sets of wheel weights that are in halves for $15.00 did we get a deal or what.
I saw a super M with a blade on the front of it sell for $800.00 all it needed was carb work and seat bushings and 4 tires.
I saw a 1486 sell for $1800.00 all it needed was a good cleaning up and a seat it had a cab on it but the ac did not work but other than that it was field ready.
I saw another 2sets of rear weights sell for $40.00 and a SET (10)of 100# each of suit case weights go for $50.00. Oh what some deals at this auction.
 
Must have been a small auction, if there were scrap men there you wouldn't have gotten those weights for those prices. The M was about right (again for scrap price); 4 tires = $1000+, carb?and/or valves or ignition, paint $500, buy "nice" Ms $2000-2500. Again no iron dealers or that 1486 would have been more than $1800, kind of doubt it was field ready; TA??
 
I know the tractor been here many years in the same town like me. I know the tractors and and the man that owned them. what I said is true and nothing wrong with the ta. just not many ppl at the sale.
 
As for me, I probably would have bought it all and kept it at the prices you mention...rather than let the sweeps go to a salvage man...
 
That is really a shame, guys works forever gets good stuff takes care of it then has to almost pay someone to take it away. Great for buyers but still sad.
