Attended a retirement auction at the farm today in central Kansas. Was formerly a dairy and grain farm. Supposedly three generations had been on this farm and there was lots of old farm horse drawn machinery. Was sad to see a IH stationery baler sold to a scrapper who also bought many of the horse drawn implements. The baler looked to be complete and I was sure there would be enough interest that it would bring more than a scrapper would pay. I made a few purchases of small items to include a very nice original 3-point JD top link for the late 2-cylinder tractors, some new blacksmith JD plow shares, some JD Van Brunt old drill seed tubes, a JD umbrella holder for the tractors with a pan seat, and one of those JD cast aluminum exhaust caps. Also bought a pair of tractor front wheel weights that were cast in Hutchinson, Kansas and were marked for a Ford 8N which I am going to use on my JD 820. Some items sold very well and others not so well.
