BC Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 There were some things I liked about this sale and other things I disliked. Personally I think the auctioneers conducted this sale on the cheap on the basis they would not be getting any more trade from the deceased LIKES Any opearating manuals were sold with the tractor opposed to being sold separatley Toplinks etc were sold with the tractors insted of being sold individually out of the shed No buyers premium Nice sausages in a bun ... Cumberland perhaps Meeting JDC & TT DISLIKES Lack of toilet facilities A whole pallet of old magazines and literature was apparantly sold as one lot although I diddn't see what they made.

BC Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Just thought I would add some more of my favourite brand in addition to John's photos. First No 530 an older restoration a Farmall M which made ? 1,100. Not a concours restoration and again the wrong magneto but would have taken too much to bring it back to pristine condition. Second No 190 in the sale an unrestored Farmall M which sold for ? 550. Basically a complete tractor but with the wrong magneto. Never the less a relatively easy restoration project.

nashmach Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Any pictures of the combines lads - seem quite cheap - but an awfully dear sale esp the MF's :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view ? for pound i.e. breaking them as spares they were cheap. Having said that they were in too good shape to break but if that is your line of business then who cares. They were running in the morning but I did notice the "cheaper" one was particularly smoky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought a breaker could have made money on these breaking for spares though personally I thought they were too too good to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
