Remember Now Why I Quit Going To Auctions

[ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314]

Every spring and fall they have a big consignment auction in the next town over. Had a pretty good sale and pretty good turnout today, considering everything going on. But I always end up with a bunch of crap I dont need. Bought a couple pallets of stuff for $5, but most of it I'm sure is just junk. Bought some more shelves and parts bins for the shop. And finally bought this ugly little green and yellow thing. When they went to start it all it would do was click, and I saw it spark at the starter connection so I knew it was an easy fix. Bought it, grabbed a crescent out of my pickup door tightened the starter cable and drove it on the trailer

Decent price for a quick profit?

Now you have enough stuff to hold your own auction.

The way John Deere stuff sells around here I could probably double my money, but I'll probably keep it around...most of the mowing around the ranch I do with the M, but there are a few places it is just too big to get in to, not much on Deere equipment, but it beats pushing a push mower all summer

Wonder how old this is, it was in a box on one of the $5 pallets

I think that trademark came out about 1970, we used Delco parts at the service station and I remember them bringing in all new cabinets with that logo about "70 or '71.

Itll take me days to go through this stuff

Me too, that was actually on a pallet that Rodger bought, there was a big chain on there he wanted and the rest came home with me

That is really nice expansion bit with the original box. Box does not show up often. Now you need to get a brace so you can use it.

May take a day or two to find it, but I remember seeing one in one of these boxes as I was loading them

Got a little chuckle out of the key tag that came with the Deere

Once a guy gets used to the quality of our Wheel Horses it's hard to say anything good about anything else, but for an old Deere it didn't do half bad this evening

@formariz here you go...I knew I saw one somewhere as I was loading everything
