This is my second attempt to post this as the first time it went poof and was all gone when I hit submit..

Interesting, thanks.
It is a lot of work to document what each item goes for.

........... and a lot more work to post it all for others to see.
Thanks again for doing that, along with all the excellent pictures.

Thank you for a lot of work and time.Really enjoyed pics AND prices GP

And didn't buy the moldboard? Several generations of dirt daubers daubed dirt where they were born?

Wow wish I could have been there, looks like it was a great sale and with those prices, I probably would have been coming home with a couple! Thanks for the pics!

Thanks for posting twice. I enjoyed the pictures and prices.

I would have run up that Impala to 5K

Was there till the end. One of the most mixed up auctions I have been to. Auctioneers did a lot of jumping around. Very small crowd at the last.

yes,,thank you for the work,it was very interesting!

Always enjoy your posts, farm sales and trips. Thank you....James

Yes,they did lots of jumping around...Did they ever sell the 503 IH and 55 JD combines?

1-503 IH

2-55 JD

3-80 Massey sold for scrap for $475

4-I didn't watch the AC baler sell

5-A couple of the balers

6-Oliver 6 bottom plow sold for $475

13-Nice 5x16 Oliver plow

14-Some of the trucks

15-210 Allis on the way home

A couple of my HS classmates were at the sale and they thought that the 62 Impala would go for 4-5K..It was pretty rusty,especially the rear quarters and it wasn't a SS...In 1966-67 when we were seniors one of them had a metallic blue 1962 Impala SS 327-300 horse 4 speed car that was a beauty..He sold it for $800 in 1968..

If they did sell the combines I did not see them sell. maybe I was at the other ring if they did.

That's the direction those old tractors are going here in Kansas. It's a shame some of those machines went that cheap. The market has just softened so much - even for 85-90 horse like the 856. The useable ones like the 88 series still reflect the "new" crop tractor market. A good 88 or 86 series tractor still brings the bidders out. The letter series - not so much. There looks like there were almost too many good old tractors. People will fight over a couple but not a whole line of them.

Thanks for posting, wish I could buy tractors, and other things, around here for those prices.

Thanks for the pics..My favorite pic is the '62 Chevy. That is my favorite Chevrolet of all time. Hard to find a 300 hp 327 4 speed, though...Especially in a convertible.

Gosh, remember when guys were tripping over themselves to get an MTA no matter what the cost?

Thanks for posting, would have liked to have been there.

blaine, thanks for taking the time to post the pictures and prices. that was quite a collection.
