What a marvelous display of IH product - seems as most everyone came with some specific to take home and a few went home disappointed - without their item or higher than thought. One 12 year old constantly held up the bid card on a Cub and finally paid $5000.00 for it. Nothing exceptional, but he wanted it and Dad supported it. There were those expecting to take the WD-40 home for around 7 to 8, but I think it brought closer to 12. I do not know of anything that was a steal, a good buy, or "were they ever asleep on this one". Jim Warren is to be commended on making this collection (not accumulation, as there is a difference) open to all by national advertising- and they came from North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, SD, Mn, Michigan, Illinois and yes, Louisiana. The trucks went as the tractors - mainly. Three or four were going home with resolve, e.g. the K-5 restored I do believe was going to Florida at $5000.
I live 30 miles away and spent both entire days (as well as money) at this "once in a life time opportunity to see such a collection of IH sell", as the man from Minnesota put it during a tv special out of Wichita.
