Mr. Goodpliers finds more auction action in Hutchinson Kansas! Come along and check out a family farm with three generations of barn find relics - cars, trucks, tractors and more!
The green 69 Galaxy for like 800 bucks what a deal. Maybe it's Sergeant Joe Friday effect or some other cop show back in the day but they seem to be raining pretty good money. The 50 Ford for 800 bucks truck was cheap. It's like anything else. Buy here cheaper sell there for a little more.. But it's a nice auction thanks for bringing it to us.
Man sitting here watching this brings back so many memories of my childhood imagine what this place look like back in the day I bet if those old barns could talk, they could tell some stories
Thank you again for another great auction trip.I have been going to auctions since i could walk following my dad.I am nearly 60 now. It's fun to see farm auctions in another state and how things were done there as i am a farmer also. One thing that you pointed out that may be lost on most. You really documented 3 generations of resourcefulness. Making due as the farm grew and progressed. You don't see that generational mentality much less the resourcefulness that goes along with it much today. The saddest shot to me was the bucket of brass taggs documenting machinery long scrapped. Probably like VIN tags for you. Thanks again!!
One thing you can tell that it is a very multi generational farm, is that they never got rid of anything, and then you have lots of junk, but many treasures that you would rarely see from days gone by. Those horse drawn wagons show how old this farm was, and like you have said, they had good equipment, even though much is very obsolete. Thanks for taking us along.😊
I had a ‘69 Ford wagon with that same dash. Thanks for showing the auctioneers in action. Love the cadence of their rhythmic chants and the shouts of the bid takers. Speed Riggs, the tobacco auctioneer set the standard back in the 30’s (a North Carolina radio station preserved a sample on an acetate disc- now on line) He later became a radio star after American Tobacco Company used him in their Lucky Strike Commercials- “Sold American!” Auctioneering is truly a vocal art. One of the guys on this video was pretty good.
IT IS WRITTEN "WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO FOR A MAN TO GAIN THE HOLE WORLD BUT TO LOUSE HIS SOUL " / THIS VIDEO SHOWS YOU CANT IT WITH YOU / WE ARE HERE FOR JUST A SHORT VISIT / THANK MR. G FOR TAKING US TO SEE THESE GREAT AUCTIONS AND FOR THE HISTORY OF THIS STUFF YOU HAVE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS / THANKS AGAIN WE LOVE IT
When you said played in the car as a kid reminded me of my son. He played in a 72 Cutlass ahead in the front yard. That was his tree house on the ground. This was probably 1985 or 86
We had an Oliver exactly like it it was in a 353 2 stroke that thing would pull the world $2,000 when you're in by the motor these days buddy of mine put one in a four wheel drive Chevy that thing's awesome like a reply back from you
when you talked of the old wrecking yards, it brought back memories of stories from my father. There was an old yard not far from our farm, it got cleaned up when I was about 8 yrs old. Dad said that there was a v 12 lincoln there that he wanted and also a Duesenburg. Both went to the big junkyard in the sky. I remember the yard, but not any individual vehicles, but there was several hundred from the 20's and 30's I''ve heard.
That was a good one youvalso had well you know Crazy D the Tractor guy and also Silas with Adventures made from scratch pretty cool you three have kanas cover pretty good Great job Mr good pliers
All that wonderful commentary by our good friend Mr.G, and he didn't even mention those 2 massive 'Versatile' tractors - Not exactly common but to find - but 2 on one farm, I think is certainly something. That farm must have some tidy bit of acre-age with it to merit those 2 monsters, - I can just imagine that 'manure wagon' behind one of them. How come that house looked as if it was about ready to fall down and yet there was all that equipment still there, - some of it in quite usable condition i would have thought.
I felt like the Versatiles speak for themselves - few machines have the commanding presence that they do. This farm had been in the family for several generations, and was literally a stone's throw from town - so I would imagine whichever one of the succeeding generations who stayed around to farm, chose to buy or build a house in town. This house likely would have needed some repairs decades ago that they didn't want to take on. These old houses in some ways are like thirsty old sedans - a bit of a dinosaur that someone must really be attached to in order to maintain and preserve. The root issue is that many of these old houses were built with rock foundations that settle and break apart - so they must be lifted, supported, and have a new foundation poured underneath. Additionally the walls don't have insulation, and interior walls are covered with a concrete-like plaster and wood lath, which adds weight to the structure and causes the house to settle even more. As the plaster cracks and falls apart, it must all be taken down for new insulation and drywall. It can be done, but requires a lot of effort, so many people choose to build a house all new rather than restore an old one that needs complete updating.
The Versatile 850 brought $3,750, supposed to run. The 875 brought $6000 even, ran well and all 8 tires looked good. ( Watched Square D's video to see them sell.)
Versatile were a Canadian tractor, more common on the prairies. I used to operate one, quite the beast, terribly rough ride. As far as old houses, they have souls and character deeper than any rust bucket. Decades and generations of families with all the love and pain that involves. Family gatherings, births, deaths all under the same roof that was built with bare hands and basic tools with materials sourced locally. And not unlike the industrial design of older vehicles and implements, they have more of a human element to them. Not much built today will be worth restoring by future generations. Houses these days may as well have a Fisher Price logo on them for what they are.
Great video!!! That Hayes visible gas pump as is was worth double the $425.00 it sold for!!! Sorry I missed this auction! I was in Hutchinson KS last month. Keep the videos coming. Rob
Well they were industrious they were smart. I tend to hold on as long as I have room if not for me it's for friends I tell them to come over before you go to the hardware store.....
at 11:28 you mention a well-funded farm. That reminds of a joke. A farmer wins a million dollars in the lottery. Someone askes him, "What are you goin to do with the money?" He replies, "I guess I will just keep farming until it is gone."
I heard that joke as "farmer won a million dollars and in an interview he was asked what he was going to do with the money. He said "pay bills". They asked "what about the rest"? He said "they'll just have to wait".
When the Colorado lottery first started one of the first million dollar winners was a farmer in north eastern Colo. When asked what he would do with the money, said he would upgrade some of his machinery and keep farming. A few years later they had his auction. At least he was able to keep going for a while longer. True story.
I was at a junk yard years ago when the owner was bringing in a burned-out 54 Ford F100 pickup. I asked him what happened to it. He said he bought that truck new when he graduated high school and kept it in perfect condition all his life. Then a couple weeks ago some people came by wanting to buy it. But he did not want to sell. The perspective buyers finally said that if they could not get it, then nobody could have it. A couple nights later it was fire-bombed.
I've got plans to come over next year buying property I asked a few times about his school buses and a few truck cabs grafting on sheet crystal to a newer chassis running year never got a reply from him hopefully by March can move over we will have to see looking for land in Montana or similar
I would have bought that school bus at 23.00, and/or that red '46 Chevy at 26.40 for more than they went for at this auction - too bad I didn't know about this auction earlier. Nice video.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 hi, I'm not sure who Silas is and I'm not sure I understand your reply. Are you saying the person who bought it is named Silas and he might be willing to sell it even though he just won the auction on it? How would I contact him if that is true?
@@fredlysgaard4699 "Adventures From Scratch"? Apparently I came to the party late. I googled "Adventures From Scratch" and I found a book by that name, but I sure could not find an auctioneer or buyer/seller of vintage trucks by that name. Could you please supply a link, or web site or phone number please? Your response is still a bit too cryptic for this old man to understand. Thank you for your help.
You know it's getting tough when people are bidding on used lumber. But it makes sense with the price of lumber these days I don't know what the heck's happening out there 😢
Interesting! Hutchison caught my attention when hubby watched. Who are the auctioneers? My Yoder Family is from the Amish/Mennonite communities. Enjoyed the auction and good purchases.
Hi, I would like to attend a farm auction. Trucks, cars and tractors. I'm outside of Atlanta. I don't mind road trips. Could you give me a heads up on how to find the auctions
I live in Ohio and I grew up Oliver green I was wondering if you caught the price that the Oliver 1900 with the 353 GMC motor went for we had one like it ? I swear that thing could pull the world
Absolutely ridiculous prices. Where I am some of those would have been 50 bucks. Nearly 2k for an untitled truck??? WTH?? Guess I need to haul some junk south. Nothing up here has rust and I guess it doesn't matter if it isn't 4WD with those bids.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Thank you. The county I live in is next to Holmes county Ohio so I've been around Amish all my life. Interesting to see on here the different places that they live.
In the past five years, I have seen more farm auctions than ever. Are all these farmers going to the farm in the sky? I don't see you guys getting near as aggressive on the bids anymore so you must have a large collection of your own. Meaning should (heaven forbid) something happen to you, will this stuff you have now be in another auction as most kids today don't want any part of the past. It all comes back again, some redone and other stuff creating something different. I just don't know why prices are so good right now on steel scrap as most is still in the same piles till a ship comes in, then loaded to korea
For some unexplained reason, there are more sales in this region than anywhere else. Lots of people showed up here and I could smell it being a bloodbath as far as bidding (which it was). So I sat it out. I was chasing a couple significant vehicles elsewhere that I have been working toward for a while now. I wasn't over the moon about anything here enough to want to swerve time and funds away. As far as my own, you are correct - every sale is one more closer to my own!
