I was at my uncle's sale this Saturday in southern Kansas. He had a 1460 IH with 3000 hours on it in VERY nice condition. It sold with the flex head and cart. The engine had been rebuilt 8 years ago after he got it hot and he only farmed 60 acres the past few years. It sold for $2200. I could have about died, having known the machine and the care he took with it. If I farmed closer to him I would have bought it just as a backup machine. It really was a crying shame.
I did bring home his 1954 Chevy grain truck which wasn't in the plans at all. It has not a scratch on it and not a speck of rust. The old 235 purrs right along and she drove up the ramps onto the deckover semi trailer. $2000. I couldn't resist. I hate that. Especially since I bought another grain truck off his farm back in November, but that one had been grandpa's before that. You don't find too many 1935's that have been in the family that long.
The 40 foot trailer was full or I would have brought home his old Minnie Mo. I'm still kicking myself about it.
