Auction in Upper Sandusky, OH

[Donald Kuhl]

Hello All,

There is an auction of 50+ H&M engines in Upper Sandusky, OH on Wednesday. The advertising lists names of engines, but is rather vague. I doubt the auctioneer is used to H&M engines. Sounds like mostly common ones, but who knows what is there.

If anyone goes, please post results. They have a viewing time today. It's during the week so that cuts me out. I have this terrible habit called work.

www.nedsold.com is the auctioneer web site.

Best Regards,

Donald

For those who care, Upper Sandusky Ohio is about 50 miles SOUTH of Sandusky Ohio. It's a buckeye thing.

Donald,
Thanks for posting the auctioneer's website!! I was planning on going to this auction and had the newspaper ad saved and then my wife threw it out. I can leave the most unimportant thing on the kitchen counter and it will remain there for weeks, but if I clip an auction ad, it instantly disappears! Go figure.

Luckily, I have the week off, so I can go. I will try to record some of the prices, but no guarantees.

Guy must have really loved John Deere engines judging by the pictures. There's probably a Columbus sitting under that hay pile in the barn.

[Tom Winland]

I just talked to someone who has had the chance to look the stuff over and he said alot of missing parts and rusty stuff.

Oh yeah, no Columbus's under the hay either.

Talked to Jon Rozevink and other several collectors today and sounds like alot of people going with money so doesn't sound like many deals to be had.

junkologist,thanks for posting the auction prices .the 2 1/2hp assoc i bought with the bent rod for $550 is running now.i replaced the rod with several i had in 1 1/2 hrs i had it running a very nice running engine.as for the ford van with the brakes out.i think ford stands for fix it or repair daily.being a chevy man,the wife bought the ford.iam not impressed with this product-chuck

[Junkologist]

Chuck,
Glad you made it home OK with the brake problem. We didn't have any vehicle problems on our trip home, but we sure got some snow while we were gone! I should have bought that Kawasaki Mule with the snow plow!

[Donald Kuhl]

Thanks for the post of the auction results.

Again, I ask..... What makes the JD engines bring those prices?!?!?!
1) They aren't unique in design.
2) They don't have many moving parts you can see.
3) JD made a ton of them.
4) Personally commentary...they are ugly.

TWO WORDS JOHN DEERE!!! I have too asked myself this, but what makes a teenage kid who has lived in the city all of their life never got close to a John Deere product except maybe a lawnmower their father bought at Home Depot, go out and spends hundreds of dollars on clothing with the Deere name on it?
I was at a chain clothing store with my wife a week or so ago and they were selling John Deere Baseball caps for $24.95 Damn!!! I thought the engines were overpriced!!!

But now I have to admit after owning several Deere's and selling them off my 10 year old son had a fit for one, I was glad he had an interest at all and wound up buying a nice barn fresh 1 1/2 and of course I paid too much but it was for him.

I personally don't understand about the price of the six hp Deere I know they did not make as many of them as the smaller ones but, It's just an enlarged copy of the smaller ones??? I could understand it more if it were a different design or something?? Case in point look what a six horse Waterloo Boy is worth vs. a 6 JD E not even in the same ball park I have seen the Waterloos for $1500 in nice shape???? I just don't get it????

Man my head is spinning too much typing!!!!

[JHFoster]

One thing I have noticed is that there are people who are willing to spend good money on something that they heard was the best. I have talked to several people at shows who were looking for JD's to hook to ice cream freezers because that had been told that was the way to go. Many of these people did not have much exposure to the engine world. I am not and have never been a JD fan as far as freezing cream. To me a good 1 1/2 M is the way to go. I think about my days in the high school chem. lab--Like dissolves like. Seems to hold true. A green JD 1 1/2, 3 or 6 will surely dissolve a bunch of green dead presidents in you wallet.
