Our collection

[ACFarmer]

You can't be picky, you buy them when you find them.

Sometimes you just want to kill people.

Hydro 100 is a 1066 with a Hydro. Less power obviously, but they sold a few of them.

Chris

Tell me about it lol. Neighbor had what had to have been a hydro 100. Used it all the time with hay and cattle work. They sold it a couple years ago, don't think they wanted much for it. I'll just keep the 1206, only red tractor I want unless I find a cheap 1456.

 

[Signature600]

There were Hydro 100's and Hydro 186's....1066 and 1086 respectively.

We are selling all our big IH's...1206 Wheatland, 1256 Wheatland, and 1256 Row Crop.

Only have some old little Farmall's left, and a 656, 706, and 806. Just don't care about the big Red one's.

Yeah I looked them up later last night. They made quite a few. I can see why there were not that popular where I grew up. Hydro ate a lot of power and ground speed from what I can see. The series numbers/options are confusing. Still be fun to have one. Wife might even be able to drive it... maybe. She sure as heck can't drive the Oliver that is just like starting and driving a car as far as I'm concerned.

Here's a couple video's a few people have taken of our dealership the last couple weeks.

Here's one of the latest additions...picture was taken where we found it, but it's on it's way here now.

Deutz F4L514

We now have one of every model in that Deutz series, the 1 cylinder, 2 cyl, 3cyl, and 4 cyl. We'll have to try and get a picture of them all at once.

2 of the 3 loads going to the Gathering of the Orange this year in Rochester Indiana...loaded the 3rd in the dark and didn't get a picture. Had 3 more on it.

5 of the big Moline's we took to a show in July. 2 G1350's and 3 G1355's...2763 cubic inches of noise in that lineup.

More to come...

Holy spread axle, batman. The wife's vehicle would fit between those!

 

[BRE]

I can't see the moline picture... That upsets me greatly.

Scroll through to the bottom...



Jory, it's just a 10' spread. Actually lets us scale those loads legally...

Now, the 4 Moline's on the sliding axle trailer, yeah, not scaling that at all. It was a touch heavy. M670 Wheatland, 2 G1355 wheatland, and a G1350 Wheatland...heavy...


Oh, and that Allis 190 on the back of that load was in pieces 3 days before the show. Engine out, on the stand. Us antique guys are just as nuts as pullers...

I went through the whole thread, thanks for sharing. I would like to get an old backhoe to restore someday.

Massey 1135 Tricycle

The other load going to the Gathering this year...

That 190 I was talking about when we got it 10 days before the show...

190 Engine on Tuesday morning for a Friday show...

Same 190 Thursday morning, day before the show...

Allis 200 Wheatland with factory Cab and A/C

Allis 190 project we had for 15 years before we finally got time to work on it.
AC 190XT Gas, Narrow front, snap coupler drawbar (basically, AC proprietary hitch) with 15.5-38 rear tires and duals. Pretty much a 190 with all the goofiest options you can find. We're looking for an original belt pulley to add to it to finish it off.

Also has an Oxnard/Allis 5 shank deep ripper to go with it....no way it will pull it, but it looks good.

Load of Oliver's we took to a show in New York...1550 Diesel Utility, 1850 Diesel FWA, 1650 Diesel FWA, and a 1650 Gas with Levy Hydraulic FWA.

1919 Aultman Taylor 30-60 getting backed into it's new home by AC 8070 Serial #1. We've owned the Aultman since 1992 with another family, but due to the Father's death in a truck accident in 2009, and his son's suicide in April, we now own the whole tractor. His wife wanted it out of her barn, so we have it at home now.

Also, FYI, it's a gasoline tractor, not a steam engine....4 Cylinder 1300~ cubic inches for 60hp on the belt.

Load of Cockshutt's we took to the national Cockshutt show

1555 Cockshutt Diesel, one of 74 built for export to Cambodia, however 26 never made it there.
1750 Cockshutt Wheatland
2150XHD Cockshutt Wheatland
1550 Cockshutt Diesel Wheatland

Just another picture of our 2 farm tractors...AC 4W-220 #1, and 4w-305 that we sold new.

More to come still I think. We have a few for sale on the lot here, and a few more bought that haven't arrived...we're almost in the antique trading business at this point.

[06 DIESEL]

Looks like the collection has grown some. Maybe I should stop in on my way back this year from the Threshermans Show in Pickneyville.

 

[J-Pipes]

That's just so cool! I'm still hoping to line up a time someday to stop and see it all in person.

 

[06 DIESEL]

I have had the tour once, well worth the hour or two I took to see their collection. I wish I had more time as I could have spend a few hours looking at the collection, most of it was just a breeze through as Chris was working and I was just passing through.

 

[Signature600]

I don't know if it has grown, but it's different. Might have grown 20 or 30 since you were here.

In 2009 we sold 60 tractors, and by 2011 he had added about 80 more already.

We have problems.
Chris

 

[BRE]

That's a problem?

 

[Signature600]

That's a problem?

Yeah, it's a problem. A good friend of our that deals in antiques is now known as dads crack dealer.

We're also out of barn space.
