Need Advice for Novice in selling some tractors

[Robert AU81BS]

My brother-in-law passed away unexpectedly recently and he actively bought and refurbished tractors. He left my wife and I with several tractors and other miscellaneous items for which we have no idea on what to do with them. We are looking for any advice on how we can sell these items to help her father pay for his assisted living. I've taken pictures of all the serial numbers for the tractors. I'm pretty sure they all run. He had a Farmall F-20, IH SM-TA, a cub Lo Boy, and a few others. Can anybody offer any recommendations on where we can begin advertising these items to sell? I've tried contacting the local antique tractor club, the local EDGETA club, and a local farm auction company, and none of them reply or will provide any advice or assistance. My brother-in-law did not leave any information on how or where he purchased these tractors. Please HELP!

It may be helpful to know where this is. Don't need a street address, but someone near you could have suggestions. Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist come to mind. I bought a box blade and sold it when the project was done on Craigslist.

I've never sold anything at them, but we have a couple places within 1/2 hour of my home that do regular consignment sales. It would be best if you had more information for buyers. Being pretty sure they all run may not be enough to satisfy a buyer.

Thank you. They are located in Huntsville, AL.

Yesterdays Tractors has a website where you can advertise. ("ytmag.com") The members on it have lots of knowledge and lots of interest in buying/selling antique tractors and parts.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

There's a classified area here iirc.

Sorry for your loss. Around here there are places that regularly (semi-annual or more often) auction off equipment on consignment.

If they all run, you’ll have an easier time selling. Besides the tractor clubs, I’d try TractorHouse.com and local Facebook collector groups. Posting clear photos and the serial numbers usually attracts the right buyers fast.
