found some old manuals

was doing some cleaning in the barn today and found some old manuals tucked away in a cabinet. Not sure if i found treasure or not. A few hart parr books i think a neighbor will like. and some others. is there any demand for these?, somethimes i see posts where people are trying to adjust equip and it seems a coulple of these could help them.will also post on the combine forum. ill list them. Theres a few i didnt list. the ones listed are in average to above average condition for their age. Mice havent ate any of them, they have that musty smell though.

I would be interested in the one from Burlington, Ia, only about 40 miles from me. e-mail is open. Chris

Chris i sent you an email. if you didnt get it im putting my email on this post.

tractor manuals from the '50 run $25 to $75 ea. depending on condition and how rare they are. sounds like you have very old and rare ones. take the time to assess their value and don't sell them at the first offer.

Good stash of manuals hope they go to a good home and used. Many times the mice end up reading them as bedding.

I did that a couple weeks ago also.... Guy that used to own the house we have was a cabinet maker (furniture, windows, doors, etc). I uncovered an old cabinet behind some stuff that I thought was a wall that had some tools and old books that he had on cabinet making along with some old plans, etc. Stuff is 80 or so years old and looks like new.
Gave it all to a little museum in the next town.
