wh500special 2,170 #27 Posted August 15, 2017 Wow! Next time my wife wonders aloud how many tractors I have, I'll show her this and how much worse it could be. I suspect this will be a bargain hunter's paradise. With so many run-of-the-mill models and so many duplicates I think this will be a great place to be a buyer. And, I think the right crowd might help the selling family on a few of the special models like the RJ35, 1054, and backhoe equipped D-auto. I like the looks of a couple of those green ones and the old Case models. Looks like a great time. I just might be in that neck of the woods on the 15th...I wonder if a detour could be in the works. Good luck to all who go! Steve 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jjohnny1 63 #38 Posted August 16, 2017 Yes i am keeping the palomino , it will be at the auction for all to see. After getting everything out of the buildings it is quite an impressive collection. Ive been going down there for 10 yrs or more and see something new everytime. Even if your not interested in buying anything, it is a sight to see. Thank Y'all for your help in getting the word out.

ztnoo 2,298 #39 Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Flynhrse, I'm not meaning to be hypercritical, but rather constructive, so bear with me. I fully understand you are a newbie and to be honest it takes a while to get the hang of things and the way they operate here, not to mention the navigation of the site itself. I myself stubbed my toes a couple of times as a newbie learning the ropes. It seems it may just be the nature of the beast. When I suggested in your other thread you should create a thread discussing the auction you were referring to, as I did in this one, I'm not sure you interpreted my suggestion correctly. I did not mean to imply or suggest you mix different sales (or topics) by placing it in this thread about the Virginia auction. Your purpose in posting notice of this PA sale would be MUCH BETTER SERVED by starting your own thread about it and using a topic title of your choosing. Your post above does say Xion, PA, yet it has the Auction Zip info for the Xion Crossroads, VA sale.......which in my opinion creates enormous and unnecessary confusion. Maybe its a typo, but I'm not sure. Things get really confusing and overly complicated when disparate information is in thrown into the same pot. Similarly, we have had newbies who created all sorts of threads in various forum areas, but instead of giving each topic its own unique title, they use their RS user name in the title line........no matter what they were inquiring about. Needless to say, things really get confusing when we have the same thread title in numerous sections of the forum. The short of all this and my suggestion to you is, if you truly want to make the PA auction (if in fact there is a PA auction) standout, create your own unique and separate thread in a sub forum which is appropriate to the topic. Otherwise, you need to check your info and your posting here. Hope this helps a little. Welcome to RS, by the way!

WHX?? 48,814 #46 Posted August 17, 2017 Truth be told since the auction is out of reach for me I would be more interested in the man, the story and his obvious passion for this collection. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #47 Posted August 17, 2017 I agree. A detailed "back story" would be interesting to read. What drove him to have SO MANY lawn and garden tractors???? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRanger 1,468 #48 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) 15 hours ago, ztnoo said: The two tractors next to the Bolens are David Bradleys. 1959-1961 era. Worth about $100 each in that condition with some missing parts and incorrect engines. Still desirable to the DB guys though.
