Great buy on a killer Farmall. Time to start site selecting for the new shop! I have a new 18x20 going in for my Hercules and IHC and maybe a couple others to come along.
Congratulations Nick.

UPDATE: She rolled her eyes at all of your posts and said I can have that new barn when she has a new (bigger) kitchen... :-\ :D
Here you go Nick, not too far away from you :)

I was thinking of just throwing a stove and sink in the corner of the new shed...
You might need it when its your new abode !!!!! :) :) :)

What a DEAL!
Well done to Nick's wife on making him win this beauty, and suggesting he build another bigger barn, which sort of also gives permission to buy other things to fill it with .... what a gal!!!
-
Wow that is less than some steam plants, nice buy Nick!
-
Congratulations Nick.
👏👏👏👏👏
Well bought and I know it has moved on to a great steward.

When is the full size traction engine coming :) :) :)
I'm not sure that I would ever want to own a full size, but definitely want a 1/2 scale, which would be roughly the same size as this tractor. Too costly to haul and store a full size...
My wife did say after this last purchase that I'm going to need a bigger barn... not sure how you would take that, but I take it as permission to build another...? :D :D
That's exactly how I took that :) :) :)
I definitely agree that falls into the serendipitous remark category and therefore should be taken advantage of..........good luck Nick!

This is a big one to have to hide from the wife Nick :)
She was standing next to me at the auction and made me place the final bid... I think she liked the little tractor :D I was originally planning to bid $500-700 as common tractors have not been selling well lately. I almost had it at $300 but the auctioneer kept dragging it out. Someone even yelled behind me "just sell it!", but then two others got back into the bidding. I placed my "last" bid at $425 and decided to stop as I wanted a set of rear steel that were still coming up and the bidding climbed to $525. I told her I was out and she sighed and said "ohh poor tractor", so I threw my hand back up and got it for $550 in the end. :D The other wheels went higher than I wanted to go, so at least I left with something ;D

Looks like you got a winner Nick - will make for a nice pair with your other Farmall.
I've got an H and an F20, still hoping to find a reasonably priced F12 on full steel... And if that happens I might as well find an F30 to complete the F series set :D

it looks better than average Nick, must be a worker with that buzz saw attachment on front, well done.
The previous owner died of a heart attack a month or so ago and took very good care of everything. In his barn was roughly 30 cords of oak firewood, so I would assume this had some use.

Dang Nick, that is a heck of a find and at a bargain price. Hope it's a runner or can be made to easily.

Went to an old friends estate sale today and won this for about the price of a nice Jensen 20 ;D There was also an ugly looking Regular that was his dad's, they struggled to even get the starting bid of $250
Parked it at dad's shop for the night, but forgot to take a picture till after I had shut the doors and lights off, so not the best pictures without and with flash...
