Dumont sale--Wow

big tee · Oct 8, 2017

I went to the Dumont sale in Sigourney Ia. yesterday. I will give some of the results but if you want them all go to Aumann Auctions. There was a 5% buyers premium on everything. !750--$48000--super 99 GM--$14000--2150--$29000--88 pedal tractor--$4750--sign-Oliver neon--$25000--OC-6--$12000. I went for the 1900 but got shot out of the water. Had a good time and was amazed at what some of the stuff brought. Aumanns did a good job and one of the ring men took my picture by the sign between selling tractors---Tee

big tee, Thanks for posting pics of some nice Oliver's! Have you seen the mighty tow that's online? It is listed at 36,000 lbs. if you want to calculate hauling from PA.

I bought the $48,000 1750. One of a kind. Only 1750 gas FWA built. I'm gonna put a loader on it and put it back to work.

Randy--unless you grew long hair and bumps on your chest you are Bull sh. us! She was standing in the isle next to use and after she bought it she sat right in front of us, talked to her a little bit. From Peoria, never seen a person so nervous while bidding-said she was a collector. Dumont's have the biggest fan on a windmill I have ever seen.---Tee

Maybe Larry picked up on my sense of humor.

When an old neighbor sold out,he had an electric chicken plucker. The gal who bought that was so nervous she was crying. The auctioneer sure had a good time with her.

Would have been nice if someone could have taken over his museum and kept the collection together. I hate to see nice collections split up.

Great pics - thank you Tee!!

Didn't get to bed till really early this AM (...again!) and went strolling through the Mecum Auctions website. Have simply been dumbfounded at how low a price some of those tractors sold for! Seems like as long as it's a higher hp tractor, you've pretty much got yourself a winner come sale time. But for most anything under 50hp or so, seems tractors are mostly going dirt cheap!

One recent auction (I think in Sept), there were two Ford 8N's; one red and one blue. Each sold for $2,500!! I wouldn't be able to touch one straight off the farm around here (with 1/2 the sheet metal missing!) for less than $3,000!!!! Farmall/IH's, A/C's, Cases, didn't matter.

Same thing on many of their older trucks. Saw a truck that sold at the....I think Dallas auction, 1969 Ford F100 Explorer pickup, Aqua and White, beautiful inside and out. Even had a custom little pillow inside with '69 Ford on it. Sold for ....can't remember, either $8.5k or $9.5k. The engine in it looked like it had simply been bought as a ready-to-drop-in motor, all purdy and shiny and stuff. List just went on and on.

Yeah,riiiight

rrlund · Oct 8, 2017

What? You don't think it would make a good loader tractor?

If you're gonna tell a whopper,make it a big one right out of the gate so nobody can top it. LOL

larry@stinescorner · Oct 8, 2017

LarryH · Oct 8, 2017

rrlund · Oct 8, 2017

Wondered where my wife went yesterday ! LOL

big tee · Oct 8, 2017

She was with some guy-Oh Oh---Tee

The way I understand it is that the museum will still be going strong. Lyle is just rotating stock. There will be other tractors (of other makes) going into it in the near future. So the museum is not closing by what I have heard.

Takes a real nice 8N to break $1000 in my part of the World.
