New subscriber here.. That Minneapolis looks like it still runs..I love that old Federal as well as the air compressor with the old hit and miss engine..That little building was set up as a meat processing system with those refrigerators and the meat saw in the back..I believe that is a Centaur tractor..Everything at that place is in running condition..(the magneto and the fuel system on that Minneapolis were in great condition like they were used regularly)..That poor guy must have been some incredible guy...From the electrical and other equipment the guy must have built nearly everything himself including the complicated equipment..That economy tractor is fantastic...There is a scuba air compressor sitting with those electric motors..anyone buying any equipment there is getting something special because they were well taken care of.I hope you bought that saw in the toolbox.. that was incredible at any cost because you know it was well taken care of...That huge wrapped up thing was a cement mixer from yesteryear...One of the first things you were looking at with the hay sticking out of it was an older Hay baler and we still use those today...-John

This takes me back 50 to 60 years when I would go to auctions with my father. The local auctioneer was a family friend who taught me a lot about what items to bid on and how to "read" other bidders. By the time I was 16 I had everything I needed to set up almost an entire house and garage. Of course back then there weren't as many collectors and experts to compete against.

My first tricycle was a Murray 😅 my mom didn't have a lot of money 💰 but she saved and got it for me it was a crazy cool purple with chrome fenders I thought I was it Lol 🤣
@davida.p.9911
You're right, that's way too much stuff to just have one auctioneer. I think they should have also just set up a booth, allowed people to pick what they wanted and paid for it. Sometimes the auction style isn't practical. Just made it a giant yard sale. The first thing you saw looked like a walk behind seed planter, you put seeds in the little hopper and pushed it, the seeds would dispense. The second machine in question was a hay bailer, it made square hay bales. Lots of very cool stuff to be sure!! Thanks for sharing, Richard!

Hey Richard I used to make air tanks out of empty propane tanks all you need is an air regulator

Those tractors are sweet! I have a Silver King model 42 and that same model Economy myself.
@terryeustice5399
Lots of old items there Richard. Looks like you said. Going to take forever. So, I would be a little discouraged as well. I’m sure you will reveal any purchases. 💯👊👍
@robertvance1873
I love the Minneapolis
