Soundguy,
That was someones house.
The sad part of the story is the guy probably junked 10 - 20 good used tractors because he saw 250$ a ton waving in front of him from the scrap man. Pretty sad, I am sure this guys dad is rolling over in his grave as it was his collection.
He almost scrapped a Fordson Super Major Backhoe and JD G Crawler until my buddy saved them.
You are missing some good shows up here. Went to the Rumley Collectors Expo in Plain City, OH this past weekend. Those old coal, wood, kerosene fired beasts are something to see. They make you a appreciate a Fordson F or 2N.
This weekend in the Firelands Area Restorers of Machines in Norwalk, OH and they are featuring Ford and New Holland.
I am going to take my camera, hopefully there will be a gold demo that I can see since I have never seen one besides mine. I'll take some pictures for you and shoot them to you via email or post them.
Then on August 3,4,5 is the antique tractor club that I belong too annual event in Mt. Gilead, OH. We are featuring Oliver this year. Here is a link to the show
