953 nut 55,243 #2 Posted September 13, 2013 WOW, if it is true that he who dies with the most toys wins I would have to declare Jim Erdle the winner! That is an oustanding auction, wish I lived closer. Please go and take lots of pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorHfuhruhurr 137 #9 Posted September 14, 2013 That's a lot of "stuff". It doesn't look like any of it has been moved in ages by the layers of dust. I like to look at it but would never want to own it. I prefer to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 603 #11 Posted September 15, 2013 Very nice posting Mike. I would really like to be there. It would be fun. If you are there long enough, Let me know what that Cushman 2h and 4h brings and the Le Roi's. Well that's asking too much. Sorry. I hope the collection sells well. I see a lot of stuck and parts listings. Unfortunately, That falls right into the hands of scrappers. With parts becoming increasingly "hard to come by" or "so out of reach" pricing, that alot of this "IRON" may just become that. Oh well. Have fun if you go. I hope you find something more than a Hot Dog. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,118 #13 Posted September 17, 2013 A guy I work with collects antique engines and he stopped by yesterday and looked around. He said a lot of stuff was too far gone to be worth much. Couple of tractors with trees growing through them. Kinda sad really. That's the thing I have about people collecting stuff just to have it. After a while it gets out of control and everything just sits. How many tractors do you need???? I have 4 and run them all the time. It's enough. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After a while it gets out of control and everything just sits. How many tractors do you need???? I have 4 and run them all the time. It's enough. I agree with Mike regarding the number "4". I have 9 vintage LAGT's that I keep running. For me its really too many, and after carfeful thought I came up with the same number as Mike (4). I want to sell some, so if anyone here has only one, two, or three, then PM me and I'll sell you one of mine. Van Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
