Murray Simpson sale ceres

[tweedale terrier]

Did anyone go to to the vintage dispersal sale today. Just wondering how it went.

 

[The Badger]

I was there, left before the tractors sold but from what I hear it was a decent trade. Was a helluva folk there
A lot of brand new jd parts especially for 1075/1177 type combines

 

[tweedale terrier]

That's good. It was some collection of tractors.

Certainly was , I'm told one muirhill made 10k, the other 6k, agrostar deutz 11k.
One of the allies chalmers made 11k.
There was a spud wheeled jd on a pallet the looked like it's been lifted out the showroom made 14k

There was a serious amount of old operators and workshop manuals

 

[tweedale terrier]

Wow that's some strong money. I'd heard the old Volvo tractor unit made 10k. Fair play to the man he had an eye for it !

The showroom was the john deere was the one at Mannheim! After restoration Murray loaned it to John Deere to put on display at Mannheim. When he lost the jd agency he put it on that pallet and brought it back home to Ceres.

There wouldn't be much left at ceres after today anyway, amazing that workshop with the oven and paint booth in it that was never used

 

[jre]

no, it will be looking very empty there after today. they made do with the little workshop at the far side. As long as the big workshop wasnt used he didnt need to pay rates on it so it was just left unused.

 

[The Badger]

Bit of a waste to be fair

 

[jre]

Yes it was. It would have been a state of the art workshop when it was built.

Anyone know what the Case C on steel wheels made???

 

[Mydexta]

Dexta £2000
Super Dexta £3000
TEF £1600
MF35 £5100

That's the only prices I have heard

 

[motrac3a]

Don't know what condition they were in, but they sound strong money at that

 

[tweedale terrier]

I'd imagine that there would be a lot of collectors and non farming tractor enthusiasts there yesterday. Not be much left in the savings account today !

 

[motrac3a]

Always amaze's me how many people leave their heads at home when they attend an auction!!

 

[tweedale terrier]

The thrill is in the chase !!!

 

[jre]

Anyone know what the Case C on steel wheels made???
