Great pics - thank you Tee!!
Didn't get to bed till really early this AM (...again!) and went strolling through the Mecum Auctions website. Have simply been dumbfounded at how low a price some of those tractors sold for! Seems like as long as it's a higher hp tractor, you've pretty much got yourself a winner come sale time. But for most anything under 50hp or so, seems tractors are mostly going dirt cheap!
One recent auction (I think in Sept), there were two Ford 8N's; one red and one blue. Each sold for $2,500!! I wouldn't be able to touch one straight off the farm around here (with 1/2 the sheet metal missing!) for less than $3,000!!!! Farmall/IH's, A/C's, Cases, didn't matter.
Same thing on many of their older trucks. Saw a truck that sold at the....I think Dallas auction, 1969 Ford F100 Explorer pickup, Aqua and White, beautiful inside and out. Even had a custom little pillow inside with '69 Ford on it. Sold for ....can't remember, either $8.5k or $9.5k. The engine in it looked like it had simply been bought as a ready-to-drop-in motor, all purdy and shiny and stuff. List just went on and on.
