This morning I attended the Elmer Fast Estate Sale held near abundant,MO...It was a very chilly morning with temps in the low-mid 20's and it was partly cloudy with a
north wind....The normal high should be 57 degrees but 29 was all that was expected for today...Elmer passed away 4 years ago at age 90..I knew Elmer and his two
sons thru antique tractor pulling back in the 1970's-80's..The temperature may have been cold but the bidding was hot...Elmer was a well respected farmer and kept his
stuff shedded and took care of it...There was no small stuff and the sale was over in less than 2 hours.
Back in August 1978 I was at the Girard,Kansas AC dealers final close out sale held at his farm west of Girard...Elmer was there and wanted to buy a WC Allis
tractor..Elmer milked cows and had to leave the sale before it sold..He had me bid on it for him and I got it bought and hauled it to his place on the way home....They gave
everything away at that sale as they were in a bad drought in SE Kansas.
The Case-IH 9250 with 8208 hours sold for $35,000.
The Case-IH 5130 with 6000 hours sold for $19,000....The family kept a Case-IH 5140 with FWA and loader.
The one owner 560 IH diesel with 3835 hours sold for $7,400....It was clean..
I've only seen one other 560 bring close to this price.
The 2 owner 1968 Ford F-600 with 87,000 miles sold for $4,500.
The 2 owner 1973 IH Loadstar 1600 with 57,000 miles sold for $8,400.
The 1967 Chevy C-60 Lime truck sold for $6,250..
The 1983 M-3 Gleaner RWA combine with 318 head sold for $8,000.
My late brother was a AC and Gleaner mechanic and had worked on this combine.
This one owner 1969 model 55 JD combine sold for $1,500.
It had only sat out a few nights in its life.
The nice running H Farmall sold for $1,500.
The non running F-12 Farmall on steel sold for $700.
I'll be back with more pics and results.
