Right now I do mainly vintage automotive and farm related auction coverage videos in the Ohio, Indiana and Michigan area. You never know what you'll find at auctions and you never know where the next auction will take me. Follow along to find out! I try to post mostly on Tuesdays. I hope you enjoy and please, if there's something you think you'd like to see or something I could improve on please leave a comment. I welcome your feedback.
Thank you for the comment Tony. That's a great question and I'm glad you pointed it out. I reviewed and it does indeed look blue-ish. It's the lighting camera (phone) optics. I believe the reason for this is that it was rather dark inside the car with the only light coming from the open garage door behind. This the camera sensors were compensating and resulted in the bike appearance. Plus the door panels were *covered* in mildew. Another feature that u can't explain it this was a 2dr. sedan as opposed to a hartop.
Thanks for sharing this video I love Ford cars and trucks,sad to hear go-jo is no more I used it as long as I can remember always had some in my truck.😢
I there were some old Ford heads there. I recognized several people I'd seen at a big Ford auction in Michigan last year. Just a few people bought most of the parts. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Smallest Fairbanks is a ZC52. Previous Fairbanks engines are also ZC series engines. ZC52 has 52 cubits and could pull small pumpjacks. It is basically a 3hp hopper cooled engine modified for radiator cooling. Oilfield engines like the ZC series would be fitted with a Murphey Saftey oil switch. If oil pressure was lost the engine magneto would ground out. The little ZC52 is a rare one. Our local oilwell engine rebuilder had one he restored. AL
Smaller Fairbanks is 118 cubits. Most of the oilwells in this oil patch had 118 engines. A few Wittes and a big Atlas on a neighbor's well. That engine had a 5 inch straight pipe. It could bark very loud. AL
Yes the Bolens should have brought more. I like the oddball stuff that MTD was cool too. None were prepared to run. The auctioneer stated they didn't have time but I'm sure they would have easily. Thanks for the comment Jim. It really helps my channel!
Wooden machine on the trailer is a Clipper seed cleaner. It would have been installed at a feed mill or grain handling facility. Farmers would bring in grain for next years planting to have debris and split seed grain removed. I believe Clipper is still in business. AL B.
That's really neat. Great information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The auctioneer had asked the buyer his plans and he said he was going to use it.
Used to run my uncles at grandma's house, 1 heck of a machine, but mechanics at local jd store said not much for engine parts are available anymore due to emissions
Thanks for commenting. I can see availability would be a concern. I want sure of the date of this machine because 80% of the items at this sale were going to scrap. I think someone took a chance on this mower though based on the price, or perhaps they bought it for parts...
i quit going to auction's a long time ago because people run the price's for junk way to high , something that should be five grand becomes fifteen grand
It happens. I still see good deals though. You just never know! You have to be in the right place at the right time. Only easy to know is to go. I appreciate your sentiment and your comment.
Another boomer kicks-off leaving a lifetime collection of cool stuff. Too bad most of younger guys don't have what it takes to carry on with it,,,,,,,DUBS,,,,,,,,
Thanks for commenting. I feel like I'm seeing this in prices. Tools especially. Many times I've been to sales with high quality/ specialty tools going at give away prices. One of the reasons I started my store. Now I have an outlet. I'll buy so I don't have to cringe watching them sell for peanuts.
I took a set of wheel to throw on it to roll... had means but the way the bidding stalled at 100 thought that might be it. I guess with a $100 budget I should have bid on the one in tree's that went for $10 😆
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him but from what heard and read, that was a common sentiment from many. Thank you so much for sharing. I did meet his brother at the sale and we talked briefly. In the end it is all just stuff. I imagine Gary had plans for every single item. I like to think he would be smiling to see that some of those plans may be happening with new owners.
I didn't see it sell. There were 2 rings selling at the same time. I missed a lot of the small items when I was recording the cars. Keep hunting. They are out there!
all of those teactors shouldve been changed over 2/ 12 volt now the extra cranking amps turns the engine over alot faster alot better start ups 😊😊 OMG 6 19 2O24
all 😊😊 of those tractors are old school and fuel bowl is under the fuel tank.gas or diesel it doesnt matter U have 2 turn the fuel on they run off of air and they dont run when theres nothing in the fuel tanks on the teactors either 😮😮 OMG 6 19 2O24
It's amazing that people have that kind of money to spend on it for a build. I would have spent 2500 . Just goes to ahow if you have the right way to market it. I remember driving in those cars growing up. They were fun .
Thank you for the comments. I remember those days. Long gone now. And yes, the right outlet or market (especially auction) helps to command these prices!
I bought a clean looking 92 Ford 4x4 extra cab for 500 6 years ago. Spent 1200 on it at a shop getting new gas tanks and a tuneup plugs wires ect. Was driving it to the dmv to register and it over heated and stopped. Blew the head on it and the transmission went out at the same time so...i scrapped it.
I may have talked to them. Everyone was super friendly. I had a great experience there. One fellow was telling about the auctioneer Doug. I though he put on a fine sale. I liked his sound and mild mannered style. He's been doing it for a long time!
