Ha Ha...You would have to PAY ME to haul some of those old tractors away...But as they say in the car business...THERE'S AN A@S FOR EVERY SEAT.....LOL..The Military Trucks look nice though......

Funny that the m35's are probably some of the "mostly likely to start" vehicles of the bunch!!! I can't imagine the pain to stand around for two days waiting for them to get to them.

So they are in bad shape? I couldn't access the site (university internet)...Private collection seems to mean rich old guy with tons of cool stuff

Two days is a long time for an auction, but in my experience the longer an auction is the better the chances for a deal. When I used to attend a bunch of industrial auctions I was in for the marathon, and it payed of usually. Those cement floors hurt after standing on them all day, and I remember a few reasonably healthy guys driving around those handicapped scooters. I don't think they really needed them.

A loader without a ROPS=TROUBLE...

Had an uncle killed on our farm in a tractor rollover when I was a kid. Place he had driven many times without incident, just a change in the ground ROPS and RAWLS are good things that came out of OSHA.

That one old Willys looks like one of our first conversions we put a 283 V8 in one and it really moved. Scanning through the pictures really brought back some memories of those vehicles being on the roads when I grew up.

I have spent many a day piloting an IH tractor like this one. You get good at singing along with the radio after about a week of baling hay all by yourself. You cant beat watching Montana sunrises from your own personal box seat, with nary soul for miles around.
