That farmall H was a steal, front steel is almost impossible to find, was thinking about going, sure wish I would have, Thanks for the pictures and results Bill T

did the 350 beside the have steel wheels also?

The 350 on rear steel sold for $1000.
The 350 with no wheels sold for $1125.
Another 350 sold for $950.

I didnt write down what the buggy sold for but the remains of the 1915 Model T sold for $500...

The 930 Case sold for $2300..

Too bad that the New Idea baler got scrapped. I would like to have it at least for parts for my working W6 model. But Kansas is a long way from Indiana. New Idea tried to recall most of those balers but some slipped through the cracks evidently.

Can't believe what turns up in some of these sales and how some things end up surviving so well.

Thanks for the sale report.

Hey 1206 it was really nice to meet and talk with you Friday.....my birthday of all things.....

Anyway I was able to pick up a really nice Case 10 mower pull behind. I still have to go get it tomorrow and if you took a photo go ahead and post it.

Mower was in great shape and only paid $125 for it. Then later in the sale was standing next to a tree and there was a sickle there that I believe belongs to the mower......and got it for a buck........

Was sad to see the E go to scrap and I really wanted the corn head for my A but didnt get it........sucks.

If anyone has a book for the #10 mower I would be interested in it.

A big thank you again, Blain for the pictures and prices. I enjoy going to sales too , but don t get to many down here. This is the next best thing ,your pictures and reporting. clint

Maybe I should have been up there and not in the TX Panhandle...uhhhmmmm.!!
Sure could have afforded the E and cornheader!!
Ralph in OK.

Heres Flewsters Case mower..It didnt have a sickle but two
were leaning against a tree and he got them bought..It was
nice meeting you Wayne..

The nice JD 3 bottom plow being loaded got saved..In that
row of steel wheels I and Curtis Rink were debating what
the first pair fit..The highest pair there was $75...

There were (3) Massey Clipper PT combines that went for
scrap..Behind the old Chevy truck with the grill was a
wagon load of brand new older tires..They sold well..

There were (3) MD Farmalls...The one by the shed brought
$600..The JD baler brought $300..

A huge amount of stuff on this sale got junked..

I believe the wheels are from a Samson tractor. Sounds like there were alot of bargains to be had for young men energetic enough to load and haul it home (thinking back 30 years)

It was sad to see the New Idea baler go for scrap..If scrap and gas werent so high I would have given it a home..All it was missing was the right wheel..

It had a sticker on it showing that it was sold by Van Sickle Brothers Oliver-New Idea from Emporia,Kansas..

Heres a scan from my New Idea W-5 hay baler literature..

Ralph,it was really sad to see such a low acre E Gleaner go for scrap...Surely the junker will save the engine..The corn head also showed very little use..My Dad bought a brand new E Gleaner in November of 1966..We ran it in the very muddy wheat harvest 1967 with no cab but put one on that fall..

thanks for the pictures and prices, blaine. was the guy a fox dealer? i would have taken that fox selfpropelled in an instant, but for the distance to new york...
the car in the picture after the burned building really appeals to me; no idea on what it is, but imagine the satisfaction if that was your new car...
i'm always amazed how well the steel in machinery lasts in your part of the country.

Bill,I dont think that he was a Fox dealer but he probably should have been one having (3) Fox silage cutters and a Fox blower..We couldnt get over that the one Fox chopper had never been used..

I hated to see the Fox SP junked as it was in nice shape...At least the tires and 4-71 Detroit got saved...

That sale was 130 miles northwest of me and the climate there is kinder to stuff than in my area..Some areas around there have only had 3-4" of rain since May..

Everyone,thanks for all the comments...I enjoy going to farm sales,taking pictures,and posting the results on here..

That's really too bad on the Gleaners. Seems like every little while someone on here is looking for a header.
The E-240 has me puzzled. The ones I recall had "high" tin in the middle. That looks more like the "KL238" I remember? We had two late "E"s here. One had the high profile E240 header, but the other had (I thought) the lower profile KL238. Maybe I just can't remember back that far! I'm wondering now if there was a lower profile made for the E.

Bob,heres a closer view of the E-240 corn head...Not very many acres had ever been run thru it..

I"ll have to dig out a picture of Dads old E Gleaner with the E-240 on it..

Looks like a late E, with the batt. down in the ladder. I think the earlier ones had it up on the end of the engine.
I'm thinking that would have actually been a series II E, if they had ever designated them such, just like the ones here.
There were other little changes, like the placement of the cylinder adjusting bolts, the movement of the clutch lever, the main drive belt, etc.
AC will always surprise me with all the running changes they made. That certainly looks like the old high profile, link gathering chain,(as opposed to roller chain) header, but with low tin in the middle.

Thank you for all of the great pictures.

Sad to see the Fox SP get scrapped; I would have loved to save the corn head. Alas, it was too far, and I am hip deep in corn and beans right now.

That NI baler looks neat. I never have seen one quite like that before.

What kind of condition was the old JD baler? Had it been used much in the last few years or sitting outside?

It looks like my 14T.
