I have found that at the auctions I go to, the Deere's fetch over $20000 Cad. Quite popular. I don't often see many IH's except the old C's and collector stuff. Generally, big old 2 wheel drive power like the 1066, and 1086 are under 10. Doesn't seem to matter what make, other than Deere. From what I have seen, the Allis will be quite affordable for you. Prices on the old Allis' seem to vary in my area. Those prices are for generally good working, complete, older tractors, cosmetics aside. My view of general public consignment auctions is one of caution. It's like buying a pig in a bag. You never know for sure what you're gonna get, until you get it home. Some auctions now won't let you try anything to determine it's problems or value, and make no claim of it's status, so you're often on your own. Personally, I'm always suspicious of a newly painted tractor at an auction, as you don't know what that's intended to cover up. Check the stuff over as best you can, and don't get carried away with your hand. Happy hunting.
