Original machinery manuals

I bought an OMC mixer mill at a farm sale last summer. They guy dropped of the manual today at my place. He lives just down the road. Original factory manual with serial number, purchase date and buyer name. I also have the same thing for my Allis All Crop 72. Not sure if it has any effect on the value but is pretty neat knowing the history of my machinery.

Yes having the original owners manual that came wit ha machine when new can in fact raise the price of it by a good bit. I have a 1935 J-B that was my grand fathers tractor and he got it in 1940 and I have the owners manual that came with it when it was new. It is so fragile that I keep in in a plastic bag

I'm not sure a feed mill has much, if any, collector value. The A-C combine I've got the manual in a vacuum sealed bag for preservation.

Ya a feed mill might not to some but there are those who may want it. We have an old Maytag Fanning mill that to the right person could bring a good penny
