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.♥️👍🏼
I recognize that milking barn smell, nostalgic. To me it’s a combo of iodine, grain, hay, manure & milk/cream. An iodine solution was used to clean the udders
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.

what is funny you say going back 50 years to see. 50 years ago I was working on farms like this. 1974 doesn't seem that long ago. I always thought "old" was visiting my grandfathers old farm that he sold in 1950. Now I am old.
I agree, my grandpa had one set up just like that in his shop when I was a kid. My dad always told me to keep a distance from it, he was worried it was going to blow up.
9700 for that truck, even clean as it is, is still almost double what it's really worth. And $5,100 for that Cutlass is just way beyond ridiculous... That's at best a $1,500 car.

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.
@@jeffreypierce1440 In German we call the entire stuff "Hanf" aka hemp. It is actually the same plant with various degrees of stuff in it. They analyzed about fourty parmaceutical chemicals in the plants. My Grandpa was selling really oldfashionned clothings to farmers in Switzerland and one of the most solid cloth contained a lot of hemp. I know a pharmacist who helps developping medicine for cancer patients. He still has to fill the trunk of his car with weed he bought from farmers in the hills, bringing it in his lab and seperatng the various substances of the plant. Until the medicine is ready it might still be illegal to transport and buy the stuff. Our laws are really contradicting and strange. There was a TV documentary that claimed the lobbyists for nylon were behind the ban of hemp, forcing the Navy and everyone else buying nylon for ropes. I never enjoyed smoking pot by the way.
Kind of is the exact true hearted image of what Washington DC represents, True America left out in the rain, broken down and dying and nobodies doing anything to save it.
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

Not at all. You are not taking advantage of someone's misfortune by purchasing stuff at an estate auction or sale. What you're doing instead is putting a little bit of much-needed cash into some elderly widow's pocket, a few bucks in the auctioneer and his employee's pockets, and helping clean up an old piece of real estate to help it along to whatever's next, not to mention having fun and picking up stuff cheap that will do you some good. If no one bought the stuff, it would go to the landfill. If she's normal, this guy's widow has less than zero interest in her deceased husband's rusty tractors and collapsing barns full of junk. So go forth with a clear conscience and spend like you mean it.
@@stevehudson7429 Yes, they do appear to do very well. It's what the market will bear, I guess.

So many people just don't ever sell stuff. They just die and let someone else sell it all!
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.
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.
I am not sure well bought at $5100, maybe cheaper. Car needs work, and the high end price is around $10,000-$12,000. Not much meat there. I would have been a player at $1000-$2000
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.
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.
TH-cam’s algorithm said I might like this and it was spot on! Poured myself a cup of coffee and thoroughly enjoyed my morning watching this video. Thanks for posting. New subscriber.
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!!!
As far as I know a 2 door is a coupe , and a 4 door is a sedan. At least that’s what my dad told me. What an awesome property and sale. lol , I had to laugh , you were surrounded by hemp. When you were looking at the Ranchero 500. Good stuff back in the day and a darn shame they don’t use it more often. Ok I see it everywhere. My buddies farm in Dixon Illinois has it the whole town has it everywhere , I mean everywhere. Wow we used that exact sun analyzer in high school at auto trade school. In 1983
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
@@mr.goodpliers6988 For the money paid, I would cut it up and get my pound price for it. The Dozer probably didn't go, because of the cost to move that. That thing is going to need a LowBoy, or better yet a RGN trailer. Those guys charge a pretty penny to move that. Somewhere I suspect in the neighborhood of $2500 to $4000. They are a specialty transporter. I might consider cutting that dozer up with a torch, where it sits, if they would let me, but I don't think they would let me. There is enough weight there to warrant removal if the destination is nearby.
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.
As far as prices high or low, it don't matter to the person buying a item. For what ever reason the buyers have to pay for what they want and kudos to them being able to. I grew up on the Farmall 1066 and 766 both of which were maintained on a regular basis, and ran like champs.
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
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.
I was thinking the same thing. That was very well equipped for a farm. When I was a kid there was a farm near us where they also had a shop that worked on cars and farm equipment. I would love to have that old Sun engine analyzer in my shop. I used one similar to that back in the 1980’s.
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!
A homemade air compressor using a refrigerator Freon compressor with an electric motor. I had one many years ago, there was also one in the shop class in my old high school.
Kind of glad we don't have sales like that much here in the UK, the cabover, the 39-47 Dodge, the 51 Chevy, so much temptation (I'm guessing this place was in the middle of nowhere mind)
Surprisingly it was just 100 miles from Lincoln, and 100 miles from Omaha. The market is very slow right now but there are always a few people around with deep pockets, and on occasion two show up at a sale who both want the same thing
I had to laugh when you said 2700 miles was a lot of miles for that little ''Harley" We had a '66 Yamaha 80cc on the farm when I was growing up....last time I saw it, it was showing over 21,000 miles. THAT's a lot of miles for a little motorcycle. 😄
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 5 grand for the 80s Cutlass is about what it cost new! I bought a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 new, ordered by my dad from the dealer, while I finished my tour of duty in Viet Nam, cost me 4200.00 delivered to the dealer!
Whoever purchased that blue 1966 Chevrolet truck I hope they keep it all original and number s matching complete and don’t mess with it.i would cherish that truck I want if the owner wants to sell.that is one pristine time capsule 🫶🏻
I’m with you, I would like it all original or at least close to it. Both of my grand pa’s had one of those about the same year on their farms. One was a brown long bed the other was a blue short bed. It brings back great memories.
Damn that 1949 Dodge pickup is sweet the man had it up on blocks and everything I would of been all over that Truck. Looks like that man loved his Dodge Trucks I have never seen so many in one place and that pickup is in such good shape man whoever get's that truck got a clean original truck that would be up in running in half hours time or less. Could drive it off the property.
It’s a shame that the next generation couldn’t have carried on with this property but it was probably for the best when it comes to the cars. All of those classics would have sat where they were until the ground swallowed them up. Now maybe they have a chance at a second life 👍🏻👍🏻
I had I think was a '76 AMF 250. it was seriously underpowered but i had fun on it. The bike had super low miles on it when I got it from a retired HD dealer.

I am not sure well bought at $5100, maybe cheaper. Car needs work, and the high end price is around $10,000-$12,000. Not much meat there. I would have been a player at $1000-$2000
Wrong!

Very educational have a 46 Chevy flat bed 3/4 time enjoy truck stuff and I learned a lot on top of looking at beautiful stuff 90 sir
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.
Love to get my hands-on that 49 Dodge.
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.
😮Looks like you were having a good time at the farm auction. Hope you're able to get the mobile station done ✔️
Interesting vid , think you bought right , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
TH-cam’s algorithm said I might like this and it was spot on! Poured myself a cup of coffee and thoroughly enjoyed my morning watching this video. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for stopping by the channel, and welcome here!
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!!!
Thanks for stopping by the channel Shawn!
As far as I know a 2 door is a coupe , and a 4 door is a sedan. At least that’s what my dad told me. What an awesome property and sale. lol , I had to laugh , you were surrounded by hemp. When you were looking at the Ranchero 500. Good stuff back in the day and a darn shame they don’t use it more often. Ok I see it everywhere. My buddies farm in Dixon Illinois has it the whole town has it everywhere , I mean everywhere. Wow we used that exact sun analyzer in high school at auto trade school. In 1983
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
The Gleaner was sold retail In limited production in 1978
@@mr.goodpliers6988 For the money paid, I would cut it up and get my pound price for it. The Dozer probably didn't go, because of the cost to move that. That thing is going to need a LowBoy, or better yet a RGN trailer. Those guys charge a pretty penny to move that. Somewhere I suspect in the neighborhood of $2500 to $4000. They are a specialty transporter. I might consider cutting that dozer up with a torch, where it sits, if they would let me, but I don't think they would let me. There is enough weight there to warrant removal if the destination is nearby.
The lumber you left in the barn loft would bring big cash here in north Texas! Way more than what you’ll get for the steelie mismatch wheel set
I saw the value up there for sure. Some old growth and rough hewn, good stuff. We've got stacks of it already that we'll never do anything with
He could have used it to patch up his trailer .
Mr Goodpliers - your family will auction that wood off after you pass. The circle of life.
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.
One man trash is another man treasure, parts or scrap is all I see.
I think you did good I hear you about the land not being level it would be a lot of work for one guy to do all that THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
As far as prices high or low, it don't matter to the person buying a item. For what ever reason the buyers have to pay for what they want and kudos to them being able to.
I grew up on the Farmall 1066 and 766 both of which were maintained on a regular basis, and ran like champs.
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 wish I still had my 86 Cutlass Supreme who knew they would retain value like that
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.
This is in my area! Recognize a few of the people. Thanks for the video
Thank you for stopping by the channel Royce!
Excellent video. I would have bought all three motorcycles since it's my thing.
Soft market for old cars is when you buy !! Sit on em until it heats up 😊
Just watched the territory trading guy get an IH 915 combine back to his yard. Relics of the past
Where I live that's for sold to work with.
@@gertvanderhorst2890 For the price it brought it pretty much has to be a machine to be used. The 1460 was a very good buy even if for parts.
I would not be surprised to learn that they worked on customer vehicles in the shop.
I was thinking the same thing. That was very well equipped for a farm. When I was a kid there was a farm near us where they also had a shop that worked on cars and farm equipment. I would love to have that old Sun engine analyzer in my shop. I used one similar to that back in the 1980’s.
@@Belltone Last summer I just missed a Sun distributor machine on Marketplace. I used them at work through the mid 1990s
@@truthboomertruthbomber5125 I would love to go back to those old machines and trade in my OBD scanner.
The last barn find cabover I saw brought $6k, I bet it was family bidding on that C10. I'm glad you got vidio evidence of the cheap dozer, well bought!
Gandy planter made in my hometown , they are still in business. The Johnson CB radio made in a town 14 miles away
On old Dodge pickups, 5lug x 4,5 circle = half ton / 5lug 5inch circle = 3/4 ton I believe.
Thanks for making these videos, farms like this are mostly all gone here in Indiana. Hard to find old iron here.
A homemade air compressor using a refrigerator Freon compressor with an electric motor. I had one many years ago, there was also one in the shop class in my old high school.
Fun video tour - thank you
The Chevy 51 and the other one next to it That was a good buy I would’ve bought them both for that price well I watch your channel pretty much
Chevy car was good deal , visor was worth 350$ , good video,thanks
Kind of glad we don't have sales like that much here in the UK, the cabover, the 39-47 Dodge, the 51 Chevy, so much temptation (I'm guessing this place was in the middle of nowhere mind)
Surprisingly it was just 100 miles from Lincoln, and 100 miles from Omaha. The market is very slow right now but there are always a few people around with deep pockets, and on occasion two show up at a sale who both want the same thing
I would have picked that IH pickup in a heartbeat. Those are always rusted out to nothing and that one looks really solid
I had to laugh when you said 2700 miles was a lot of miles for that little ''Harley" We had a '66 Yamaha 80cc on the farm when I was growing up....last time I saw it, it was showing over 21,000 miles. THAT's a lot of miles for a little motorcycle. 😄
The barn lumber is some of the most valuable items in the sale.
Pretty good prices. A lot of interesting smaller items.
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 gas can, just fill almost to the top, put in a freezer will push out the dents. I think. St.Paul,Minnesota.
Some good deals but as usual some folks have more money than brains.
The 5 grand for the 80s Cutlass is about what it cost new! I bought a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 new, ordered by my dad from the dealer, while I finished my tour of duty in Viet Nam, cost me 4200.00 delivered to the dealer!
Whoever purchased that blue 1966 Chevrolet truck I hope they keep it all original and number s matching complete and don’t mess with it.i would cherish that truck I want if the owner wants to sell.that is one pristine time capsule 🫶🏻
I’m with you, I would like it all original or at least close to it. Both of my grand pa’s had one of those about the same year on their farms. One was a brown long bed the other was a blue short bed. It brings back great memories.
Maybe not the most exciting items at the auction , but descent smalls that keep the lights on.
Damn that 1949 Dodge pickup is sweet the man had it up on blocks and everything I would of been all over that Truck. Looks like that man loved his Dodge Trucks I have never seen so many in one place and that pickup is in such good shape man whoever get's that truck got a clean original truck that would be up in running in half hours time or less. Could drive it off the property.
It’s a shame that the next generation couldn’t have carried on with this property but it was probably for the best when it comes to the cars. All of those classics would have sat where they were until the ground swallowed them up. Now maybe they have a chance at a second life 👍🏻👍🏻
Really love your videos
I had I think was a '76 AMF 250. it was seriously underpowered but i had fun on it.
The bike had super low miles on it when I got it from a retired HD dealer.
Always wondered why farmers just parked old trucks left them like that instead selling or use them. Interesting video. Like looking back in time
The second combine looked like an IH 1420 axial flow. That's what Dad ran most of my younger years. I slept many hours on the floor of that combine
Electrolux is a Swedish company, crazy prices, barm wood brings good money, the stone also, have a good week,.
That thing on the barn side is a compressor with a air line running to the gas tank 😎
