Bigfish 146 #1 Posted July 31, 2016 Curiosity is killing me. Who attended and what was your haul? I was going to attend but when I talked with Lee at 930 they were already close to 100 people. When he called me back for the tractors and accessories I was interested in they had close to 200 people. The prices went over my head pretty quick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russtiron 41 #2 Posted July 31, 2016 I thought the crowd would be bigger . Boxes of N.O.S. engine parts were cheep 10-20 average .They did not sell all the parts advertised, I think they sold the obsolete stuff and kept the newer stuff . most collectors were there for the old stuff anyway. I only made one purchase and left by noon , so I didn`t get prices on tractors . I got the 55 rj35 early model with tank stand, aluminum wheel original engine two piece front wheels missing Schnacke recoil and correct intake belt guard and oil bath air filter. I spoke with one of the owners and he said they took it in on trade about 30 years ago and was sitting on a shelf since. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OHRob72 88 #3 Posted July 31, 2016 I ended up getting a 657 with a 10hp Tech engine, 1277, belts, fenders(400 series) and hoods(520H,416-8 and 520xi), tire chains, Howard tiller blades, tiller, snow blowers and dozer blades. Prices were cheap on parts. The D160 with the blade went for $475. The rear end was pretty rusty because they had a salt spreader out back. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also seen that it has the push button kill switch. Very nice buy 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stike 204 #5 Posted July 31, 2016 This was my first auction and I thought the crowd was pretty small. I was in awe at some of the stuff that sold cheap. The other D went for 170.00 should have bid higher on that one. I did get a nice lawn roller and OHRob72 I think you sold me a fender I am putting on my son's c175 perfect fit just need to paint and bolt on. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrenw85 569 #6 Posted July 31, 2016 One of the owners told me they traced the RJ35 to be number 98. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #7 Posted August 1, 2016 I saw several great pics of the auction on Facebook. One guy had about a 20' trailer just packed full with stuff on top of stuff. Maybe it was one of the members here. Maybe he could share some pics of his haul? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OHRob72 88 #8 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) One last item that my buddy worked out with a guy we met through the auction. A 1988 520H with a RD deck that was located down the road. Really good condition and everything but the lights seem to work. Nothing like unloading one of these in the middle of the night.

OHRob72 88 #11 Posted August 2, 2016 I have some more pics of my haul separated, but I don't have any of the auction scene itself. I got there later than I wanted to so I was too busy looking at items and bidding at the same time. It was a fast paced auction as well.

I'm glad the fender worked out for you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
