Mr. Goodpliers visits a Nebraska farm auction! Check out rows of 1930s to 1970s Farmall, IHC, Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge cars, trucks and tractors! For any inquiries I can be reached at mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com
As soon as you walked into the milking barn my nose knew exactly what the smell would be. It’s been 55 years at least and you’re right, they have a distinct scent. Love what you do and thanks for sharing that history.♥️👍🏼
Thanks for all your videos Mr Goodpliers. I'm from NZ and really enjoy them and your presentation. One of the best channels of this type of thing on RU-vid, you get on with it without without the self ingratiating BS others do.
I'm a snoop from NZ myself gee i would hate to be bidding at one of those auctions i can't understand one word those auctioneers say it would be a disaster .
It was driven to that spot from the shed but was very used up. Under hood wiring looked like chopped up spaghetti. They said the transfer case was loose - could be a simple mount, or something cracked or broken for a more major repair. That's what scared people off the most.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 That is a steal, even for a flipper. Working 4wd is for extremists as these bricks are bought for all kinds of other reasons now, they are or coming into fashion. Even new they had that very utalitarian image, the truck truck.
I was not sure of those herbs. Turns out I was right! I remember that a famous Swiss writer who was a pastor during the 19th century who wrote about the farmers and their life discribed a grandpa sitting on his bench and smoking a pipe of weed every Sunday afternoon.
I think the bargain of the sale, was a split between the 49 Dodge pickup, with the deluxe windows, or the Cabover Chev grain hauler. I liked the Sun analyzer and I have a smaller, earlier, bench top model, as well as a complete, working, Peerless analyzer. I love those old time analysers, and actually used a few different Sun models in the early 60s. It is interesting to see how much history was in view at that old farm.
1460 IH Axial rotary combine I think came out in '78 or '79. New Holland was next then Gleaner while I was at college. First New Holland was a TR70. Gleaner was the N5. AL B.
Apparently based on what they brought the guys plan to put them back to use, or at least take parts from them to fix other machines. They seem like dinosaurs, especially considering the massive corporate acreages that are farmed in that area
This seems like either someone was raised by the depression generation or lived the great depression. People like this are hard to find in the world we live in where everyone is hyper specialized.
Just like you said, those prices were from one end to the Spectrum to the other. Some crazy low and some crazy high, such as a 1985 Olds Cutlass, can't believe someone paid over 5 grand for that.. and as usual, you have a great eye for spotting stuff. Those motorcycles sold for way more than I thought they were worth
My guy was happy with the Yamaha even though it is seized. I thought the Harley was overpriced for what it was, but again, the guy who bought it thought it was great
That 86 cutlass was a salon which would have all the same handling package as a 442 and likely was a 307 V8. At 50k miles and in desirable black I know I will be the only one to feel that way but that car was very well bought.
The motor in the Dodge 600 was a 413 industrial. Good engine under appreciated and pretty heavy duty. Better than the RV 440. They built them until 1979.
At around 33 minutes, that contraption is a cobbled mess from a genius farmers mind. It is an air compressor, he's using the propane tank as his air tank. You want the world to work? Get a farmer! And a P.S. here, I do believe the actual compressor unit is an old refrigeration compressor from an old commercial cooler.
Love that old blue Chevy truck! Didn't catch the year....64? Anyway, I bet it's in such nice shape because it wasn't his farm truck, it was his goin' to town rig! Thanks for taking us along. What a great bunch of stuff. Dang! It was a 66 and went for $9700.00? That's steep!
I believe they said it was a '66. It was a straight short bed with nearly no rust that would have run with a little tinkering. If it were a big window Custom cab with two tone paint, factory V8 automatic, and chrome bumpers & grille it might have brought $20k
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Oil rag no-restore finish, manual six.15k in perfect running order, sold within 3 days. Frugality has its own apppeal and they are buying it like hot cakes, just as the Internationals.Saw them parked at golfclubs, ok twice.
Unless you had a 4-4-2.....two-tone paint...bucket seats.....shift on the console....etc etc....then....an '86 Cutlass ain't worth that much. I had one...just a Cutlass Supreme.---Hard top (no Landau garbage). Gun metal gray......in and out. Nice rims. But.....the 307 had no balls.....it was slow....and ate gas. Yes, the 307 was reliable....and the tranny was good/solid....but....overall, it was a completely unremarkable car.
The international truck was pretty cheap. Cool to see the old truck picking up the tractors. What a neat property, I'm like you, would have loved to seen photos of it from it's heyday! Looks like the hunting would be great! Didn't know about the prestone gasoline can! Thanks for the education again!!!
The old slow growth wood that was in the $3 barn would have been a money maker. Furniture makers like myself would have given their eye teeth for that stuff. The money per board feet is unreal in price . A little heads up for the next time. Cheers
I understand. The market is different in nearly every area. Here in Kentucky there seems to be a woodworker in every little community. I do understand. You only have so much space to store things. Cheers
Heck even that barn was gold, three chicken coups. If you paint or lacquer the wood you get pristine 3d grain. Nice dry lumber in the attic, it's hardly available even, would make a lot of granddads happy.
Little boy at 50:02 is very brave trying to help load up a very steep truck ramp with dual flat front and rear tires and No power steering from the Non running engine & onto a very small angled part of the truck deck with very little room for error, that right there is how children get killed on farm accidents when it's over & not loaded safe, the boy had the most dangerous part of the job. Absolutely amazing grown adults actually put kid's to do a grown man's Job. But very lucky no one lost their live at this point.
You mentioned Gordon... He used to tag along with you and your buddy. Is he okay? Hopefully he is and would like to see him diggin thru the junk with you from time to time. good video and thanks
He's still around. Joe and I have mainly been hitting car auctions. Gordon's interests are beyond just cars, so he likes to be along at sales with more than just cars.
I'm glad I never get a chance to go to one of these! I would definitely go home with several 😂😂 Top cars I'm looking for is 1960 mercury comet 1959 ramble custom 1960 studebaker lark
I've watched so many of your videos on these old farm auctions Tim, and... I've decided that these old farmers NEVER threw ANYTHING away, LOL Were they all hoarders, or... was it just to inconvenient to get rid of stuff being out in the middle of nowhere ? 🤔
That 200 dollar Ferguson or the smaller Farmall, with a little machine attached, can do the job of something you cannot buy for under 10-15k ! You'd be surprised what that can tow, during harvest or sowing they worked overtime with a trailer. All over the world these kind of machines still work.
The last barn find cabover I saw brought $6k, I bet it was family bidding on that C10. I'm glad you got vidio evidence of the cheap dozer, well bought!
If you were equipped to haul it out of there that dozer could be a money maker. Scrap, mostly. If the undercarriage has life left, well there’s your dinner! I like chainsaws. AND farm auctions! Just subscribed!
The Impala or green Dodge pickup would have been my picks. However, no loader tractor or skid steer or Joe does make recovering relics from the dirt a slogg of a job for one guy.
That Honda xl 500 s would have cleaned up real good that did not appear to have done much work at all ,,turn signals & levers & mirror not even bent or broken ,just needed a seat & clean up by the looks ,that was a way better deal than the yamaha that looked like a good bike ,pillion pegs still on it & all .People ask 8-10k for them here in NZ very few left here .
Appreciate your wholesome perspective about former craftmanship, yeah its sad, these skills will be gone. If civilization collapses, it will be re- begin from caveman- stage, unfortunately! The 61 Impala 4- Door was neat!
That Cutlass sold for about $4800 more than it's worth. Boomer here though. Lol. The green chevy pickup looked like a good starting point for a project but it seemed too high also. Otherwise most of the farm equipment seemed to go below scrap value.
*were The market is very soft for them. The buy-in for the cab is just the first step in what it takes to build one. I think most of the guys who wanted them have found them, so the prices are down.
86 cutlass...307....no testicles.....and a gas guzzler. i know, i had one back in the day......yeah, it was a good/reliable car.....but.....that's it. boring as heck.
