Hi all,
First of all, I want to say I am a dyed in the wool IH man. I have ran them most of my life, with some others interspersed. However, I started out on a '37 JD A. That's been a long time ago. I remember that it didn't have electric start, and I don't remember liking the hand clutch much.

I have found locally a '47 A with elec. start and also a '53 60. The A is in better shape than the 60, but the 60 is a bit cheaper. Both are in good running shape.
So my question is this: what should I be looking for on each machine? I know the usual about how easy it starts, tire condition, brakes, etc. I'm just wondering if there is anything special to look out for. I'd appreciate any help I could get. I'm going to look at each of them tomorrow, so I'd like to be prepared.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
