There were several more ACs and equipment from poor to junk and a whole shed of shop equipment and antiques.

I thought the F 20 was a little high or really just about twice what they have been bringing. D 5 was full retail and really I can put my hand on several better quality newer machines for less money. Two local gus had not shopped and both really wanted it. Not a bad auction knew the guy on the little G ac was going to pay what ever it took to take it home..Not sure O Neil did,n bump him a little.

That's pretty solid numbers for most of it, in my opinion. Lots better than the auction I went to last Saturday- everything brought about half what it was worth, or less. 20 antique tractors sold, only one brought good money.
