I remember the sale at my dead best-friend's house on Percy Holmes Road. Kind of hard to forget. I was 800 miles away when I found out his estranged widow was auctioning off all his stuff. I drove back got to the auction when it was half-way over. I saw a lot of Bob's Oliver stuff go dirt cheap. Some stuff was missing and I don't know what ever happened to it (unless you got it). Bob had a OEM Oliver-Trasco aux. trans setup for an HG or OC3 and that wasn't there. He also had a few brand-new IXB-5 engines. New-old-stock, not rebuilt. I didn't see them either unless they sold before I got there. Must be bad blood up on the road. A few years earlier - there were three of us "collectors/hoarders who were friends. The guy at the bottom corner of Percy Holmes was Charlie Egloff. His wife left him because she said he had too many tractors and "never shut up." So, it was just him - and barns full of tractors, Model T parts, and much, much more. He died, and his wife who lived in another town - got everything. She treated me and Bob like enemies because we were friends of Charlie. Bob and I agreed we'd NEVER let such a thing happen to our stuff if we died. Well? A few years later - EXACTLY the same thing happened to Bob. He croaked. He had called me and said he had a bad cold - and it ended up he had a super aggessive form of lung cancer. Dead as a door-nail pretty quick. So HIS estranged wife got all and did with it as she pleased. Most went at that auction where most when dirt-cheap. I have no idea where the other stuff went.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
