The 26 and 27 model T pair is a pretty rough 37 Ford standard, you can see the single taillight, then they added some sort of 40's Chrysler taillights on the quarter projector parts, it doesn't look too rusty. I've never actually had one. of these cars, so I don't know much about the market for them, quite a unique feature, this is the standard model, it has the v860, which is a smaller size and smaller displacement power than the 85 horsepower in large part of the dirt track. runners from that time like those little v860s. Wow, this is pretty decent inside a lot of these

1930s

cars, you only see them down to the seat.

Springs or less than that, but it's actually a pretty decent car inside, not exactly sure about these at first glance. I thought of Plymouth 49, but I think they're older than that, maybe pre-war, just something someone pulled out of a junkyard car back in the day. These teas are both fairly crude chicken coops, but the 26 and 27 had an all-steel body, just wood. It was only to attack the upholstery, so they are a much easier restoration than a wooden body. The Waukesha Ricardo aftermarket cylinder head is kind of a neat vintage piece, this one is a little better shaped than the other, but between the two it probably does something.

With them, the old Ford tricycle

tractor

with the sickle mower, this presents a fairly honest original piece. Now these Ford 900s are a bit of a break from the previous N series

tractor

, they were intended to be a row crop tractor and here it is. the John Deere Mt, nice restoration on this Mt, was of course the tricycle version of the John Deere m M. I have one of these that I saved from the scrap metal and I'm trying to

find

a good home for it because we are a two gas engine cylinders. engine with a conventional distributor and this one has the toucha-matic hydraulic control, so we'll take a look here, look at that system and set up both tractors pretty nice and be pretty useful as well.

All of these cars were last used in the late '70s and I think he probably just bought things he liked and put them

away

. This is uh 52. I think Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe and you can see that really unique wraparound window that had the refrigerator style door handles. This car is pretty decent inside. Pity. over the windshield, pretty basic car, three on the tree, take a look inside, it has such an old and modern feel it almost makes me think of being on a small plane, very very unique collector car, this one has a good patina, old.
It looks weathered, but the closer you look, it needs quite a bit of work, just a lot of rough edges all the way around. These, of course, weren't really the best for factory rust protection of any Ford Chevrolet era car, it just wasn't something they had really gotten to yet and this '52 just isn't as desirable as a previous bullet tip. This Ford truck I believe is a 41. There are just a few small differences in the grill and hood latch between the 40 and 41. It's a shame they sanded it and primed it because everyone really likes the original patina look on these now and I mean, at this point, you'd practically have to paint it.
The flathead V8 looks in decent shape, this depends on how much moisture was in the air determined it was sealed or not, one at a time they put them all in the building and they sat there sealed they are here to sell the second one Auction action video shows 59 Galaxy elegant colors in this yellow and white on the outside with a black interior. The three speed manual shifter has been moved to the floor which was quite common in the past, they had some dirt on them and now this is a Ford Fairlane Galaxy that was actually a primary overlay model. it was the Fairlane 500 and then the Galaxy was just the extra trim on top of that so in '59 they had both badges on the car so you can see the Fairlane emblem on the trunk and the Galaxy emblem on the quarter which Of course, that's a concurrent model with your '59 Chevy Impalas, of course, '59 was the first year the Impala was available in four-door cars, this one has a probably 292 Y block.
Decent car overall probably it's borderline for the project or parts, but if someone really liked it, I'm sure there's probably no reason it couldn't be brought back and being stored inside always helps them, so, in My opinion, this is a car that could and should be revived to see the road again and next in line is this one. Henry J., these were a Kaiser Fraser car designed to be an entry level economy car, so they didn't really sell many of them when they came out, the post WWII market was already becoming quite saturated and people just I perceived it as a cheap car compared to the Rambler, so the Ramblers actually outsold these.
This one has unique interior upholstery that is factory original and Kaiser Fraser had a thing for special upholstery fabrics so to me that really makes the car even old and worn in that way, you definitely want to keep it to show the way it that this car was built, cool little feature, it has the Sears Allstate turn signal lever on there, people who know the history of these cars will understand the significance of that '53 was a transitional year for the company, that's when they started to acquire Willies and move production in a very different direction for the company, this car in a sense was replaced by Willy's Arrow, a piece of the time capsule that was practically left out was when they parked it in the building it has the original keys hanging in it a small service station here in the city quite neat design of the ones with the k cutout shows 44,000 original miles it has the accessory heater another set of keys with the small license plate tab but that thing is completely obscured, look closely close this thing and unfortunately it is quite rusty on the lower floors.
The rockers are gone, and that type of sheet metal work can be fixed. I mean, it's better than rebuilding Rusty's lower quarters, but you still have to do it and it definitely affects the value of the car, but overall it's a good candidate worthy of keeping as original. Unfortunately, many of these become modified and lose their original parts over the years, but hopefully this one will

find

its way to a new owner who leaves it in stock. I've had my eye on this one, but the sales attracted a lot of interested people, so we'll see what happens.
Another one that has attracted a lot of interest is this 1934 Ford 33 and 34. The very similar hood louvers are the best. The way I have to tell them apart is that it has the pretty funky straight grilles on the inside. Someone put some red primer on the dash, but I mean the upholstery is almost all original intact. Definitely needs some work on the roof insert. It is broken by the fascinating drawing of This car is, I believe, the aftermarket accessory trunk and you can see that it is not just a trunk, it has a different spare tire mount, it has the base skirt and the bumper mounts extended and I mean this thing totally remakes the look of this car. like a mid-priced Buick or Chrysler, it was really cool to see a gentleman collect a lot of other things with small engines and I think this is one of the first Cirrus Craftsman lawnmowers, kind of a classy piece of '50s Suburbia and 60 and then I got the Cushman golf cart that he worked on at the plant, so there's an excess of inventory parts and other stuff that he just finished with.
Cushman had very diverse offerings and you will see many of them at this auction, these old relics would catch your eye, he bought them one at a time, brought it home, filled the shed, that door was sealed for 40 years and today they go up for auction and There are a lot of little parts and motors here, so the rest of this ride I'm not going to mention each individual little piece, but if you see something that I don't mention, just put a timestamp and identify what you see now. This part is great, it is an experimental OMC engine that is not sold, probably for a Cushman. and he has it mounted on an interesting little cart, it looks like there will be a garbage bomb of some kind, but it will still be fun while it works, but I'm not that kind of channel, but yeah, again, like I was saying, especially within the tables. any of those little things, if you can identify what it is, just comment below, put the timestamp like this old Flathead six.
I think probably Plymouth or Dodge, but I'm not sure, and this piece is interesting, it's an old steam chimney from either a tractor, a pump, a plant or something, it's a cool piece that you'll be fascinated to see what it sells for. Honestly, for the amount of items they got out of here, they've done a pretty decent job of organizing themselves, in fact, they're pretty impressed. the auction company so far just from the little I've seen here you have to stand in one place for a while and take a look, here's another one of these v860's and then another Cushman air cooled engine.
Jeep axles wherever he went, he acquired something to put in the

collection

, which is a desirable flathead type 8ba small block Chevy engine of some kind, probably a 283 or 327. I think they call these old Model A industrial engines that, the ones star block guys really look. for those because they have better metallurgy, a pretty nice ship that gives you On Golden Pond vibes. Wooden frame. I think with the aluminum siding it's some Perkins diesel, probably another discarded Cushman. Impala 64 front bumper. Incubation box with clean needles. Okay, it's a cool piece. several old lawnmowers of all types.
I always like to look at them and see where they are made. It was a manufacturing industry that had low enough barriers to entry that there were actually many individual manufacturers, several in Kansas, if you wanted to build one. lawnmower, it was entirely possible to start that business back in the day, old coat cooler and that box, I think it's a 2627 model T pickup truck, the more you look the more there is in here. I think he was more of a tanker than a hoarder because you see a lot of these tools a lot of people comment on them oh yeah the guy is a hoarder just because he didn't do anything with the stuff.
I think this guy actually, when you look in the garage that was his workshop, worked on things that he just had so many things that were languishing in the building and didn't get a lot of attention, but he did have things that he fixed and worked on, like the tractors, a lot of historic hand tools here now, someone had been asking. on the channel about all the videos of the old Hatchet heads and I hope you keep watching because we finally found one, but I think that thing is pretty simple, it probably doesn't have a name.
I guess there will probably be more inside if we keep looking super super. A neat collection of spark plugs definitely caught my eye. I don't know why, but it's just a little trick for collecting. Look at the pink Firestone. They actually had a trick there. It's more of a trick than anything else, but it was radioactive material that was there. them and we're pretty much past half life when they were on the shelf, but in the '50s that was the whole slogan, some modern tools in here too, but most of what's in this is just a lot of good stuff.
Old vintagers

rare

ly see this amount laid out in one place, it kind of makes you sad because I'm sure this old timer had a lot of knowledge and care for these things that are no longer there. These are pretty stylish early 90's graphic art Pepsi cans. those would be great display pieces old tools woodworking tools of all kinds, you name it, there's a lot more information starting out, there's so much stuff in here that they didn't even have room to put them in rows and boards. I see some valuable pieces. in that trailer there is also a 1950's Oldsmobile engine, that is a desirable piece for the vintage hot rodder guys, the first in this row 19 28 29 Models a two door sedan, probably the stylemost common bodywork they made.
Of these, I see a lot of them. Around the next 1934 Chevrolet, another two-door sedan. This one looks great on the sidewalk, but has a lot of rust on the bottom and a lot of really good parts. Someone wanted to fix it and had the ambition. I think so. could be one like this, realistically it's probably too far

away

to build stock even though it's all intact, sure it definitely could if you wanted to know how much wood is in the bodies of these after a certain point, really You must like it. the car a lot and I know what you're doing because they definitely become a labor of love, all that structural wood after so many years takes a lot of effort and a lot of work to get it really right again, everything has to fit.
The square helps the doors close and there aren't a lot of people who know what to do to fix them and this LTD I think 7678, yeah this is a color combination I don't think I've seen before, kind of neat. deviating from the usual brown white or avocado green I'm guessing this was probably the last car to drive a little rough around the edges somewhat rusty inside honestly pretty respectable not all trashed trashed trashed like a lot of them see this says that kind of weird fabric of Burlap Tweed type 76 in Palace had that many of these cars you choose any one and all the manufacturers were cheating on each other's reviews, they all colored the same lines, drove in the same lanes every decade, these vehicles changed so much.
I mean, if you look even in five years, the 34 Chevrolet versus the model. A: I mean, that thing is low and streamlined compared to 10 years before the Model A. This t Speedster is such a basic rudimentary car, neat build, someone started and then stagnated, there's not a big market for teas, a couple more in the building here. We'll take a look at what it's supposed to be anyway, like I was saying before, if you see something here that I skip, just put in the timestamp and say what it is because there are tons and tons of pieces that I won't mention all of them.
The last one was supposed to be enough for another auction after this, they didn't get the stuff out of the attic, it's cookie cutter stationary motor

trucks

, Cushman motorcycle, scooter, whatever you want to call it stationary motor, I'm not exactly sure what make of that old one Suzuki. snowmobile, we're far enough north that something like that pretty clean vintage Frigidaire Tombstone style refrigerator probably gets some pretty decent use, an antique steel kitchen sink, any of those pieces, if anyone is restoring an old house, they simply create a great atmosphere. To really complete the look of the vintage coin laundry sign, it is a cool piece.
A lot of people don't like plastic signs, but you light them up and they look pretty good. Ford door 48 to 52 and 73 to 9. And this piece I'm not exactly sure, it looks like possibly a chick or egg incubator or something a little far from the usual area I travel to so I'm not sure what kind of crowd will appear, but we will see what happens with many parts of the Model T. Here they are. a couple that is specific to those 26 27 and this is like a vaporizer for the carburetor it just helps the mixture improve not exactly sure how it works there is a Goodyear boat engine which we will look at a little later lots of parts here.
I hope the auctioneer doesn't rush too much and blow up these things because there are so many things I don't want to miss out on, vintage belts and this piece down here is an interesting vintage Hog Oiler story about these that they made. They don't really work very well for their intended purpose and were pre-war pieces so most of them were scrapped in the scrap metal campaigns of WWII so they are a bit

rare

today, definitely They are collectors who make sure they eat them all. These vintage pieces are probably some disapproved, but most of what's here probably isn't, so there are some good pieces that the guys will have the opportunity to purchase.
This Model T was behind a loading column, so they didn't do it. I won't take it out of the line, it will be a fun extraction from the mud floor, here wheels and tires, small tricycles and parts, he didn't really say no, if he thought it was okay, you take it home, a collection of old bicycles , a terribly cold day and me. we sold stuff too cheap, we'll take a minute after we finish filming to research these tires, we like our different rims, making kits and that kind of stuff, lots of little gadgets, bolts, brackets and parts that he intended to use on projects, but they got stuck here and got lost and forgot about the Cushman axles, only access to the factory.
Parts that somehow ended up on men's bikes, generally a little more collectible than girls' bikes, I think just because boys were hard on them. and I broke them, a small John Deere stationary power plant, kind of a neat piece, sat there for a long time fenders, doors, sub-lids, headlights, windshield frames, probably common or uncommon things that will be sold it will be a very long day to get through all this, but I think they will. being able to do it is a little strange what is that corner here you know what that is comment let us know laughs as for this is from home my goal will be to make a load and not have to come back and I think this bigger crowd is here and probably will be a pretty realistic option, but if things sell low enough, I have no problem going back if necessary, stopping the pens.
Sweat Equity Time Equity Travel Equity It's always nice to find these wheels rims that have been put on and not left out to rust away to nothing with rims. Check out a pair there that you can definitely wear. Have customers call to order radiators, heaters, mechanical parts. Engines. It looks like an Olds 350 diesel V8. I'm sure some of This is even an old coffee grinder. Yes, you see, the completion date is 1980. Actually, quite a nice building did its job. He kept all of this safe and protected from the elements for 40 years. Imagine that some of the leftovers will be thrown away, but there will be many collectors who will choose pieces from here that help finish projects and maybe also stay in their places for decades, who knows, a real, old and elegant lawnmower, from the Pennsylvania brand with the gasoline engine, another with an aluminum body.
I don't know why but these things are cool to look at, the feel is cool, so this little stationary motor I learned something new, they are actually made by Cushman and I had never seen one until today. One thing I wanted to understand very quickly are these manuals. In literature, I think there's some pretty unique old stuff here that's pretty fascinating. Schematic manual of a hundred-year-old radio catalogue. A super neat piece. This was a totally different time in history. Apparently signals traveled much further back then than they do now. I heard you could actually listen to radio stations in other states, which was pretty cool.
This is a pretty good relic of our countries' technological history. Pretty cool graphic art here. These old drawings and diagrams. A lot of history in that book. It's like it's my seniority. Phillips 66 collector signs. I'm sure I'd like to have that in the old hose cabinet. Delco Cabinet there is a bit of a strange ball. This is a remote control car, of course, with the wires attached. A pretty old version that made it look as close to a Jaguar as they could without infringing and for our Hatchet guy, if you're still looking, it took me a year or two, but I finally found them, man, these things are crude adapters, it fits Too much collector value on any of them, but there you go, I finally found some.
For you, thank you, old porcelain stove, I think the shelves are made from an old railroad car, plastic, asbestos, obviously, which means asbestos flows, which means it's a health hazard in the can, Although it is contained in roof tar it is probably not too dangerous to breathe, there is an antiquity. the car radio has extra controls with that speaker, the whole self-contained unit, little cans, little bits and pieces, all the stuffy stuff. Acquired and collected. I don't necessarily need any cans, but there is a gas can that I don't have in the collection. So I'll keep an eye out, we have a 1950's Mopar chassis combined with some Cuda and Challenger bucket seats and a Ford Drive train steering column.
The craftsmanship and quality of this is actually not that bad. Compare this to the cost of a UTV and someone will get a deal. A short row here got the International Cub Cadet and then next to it a rather fancy Cushman commercial lawnmower. It's definitely a good day of learning for me. I didn't realize the depth and scope of the Cushman industrial product. deals golf carts stationary engines old green tractor engine John Deere Oliver presumably another old block V8 Cushman also made these crawlers and there are pieces of them scattered around there is supposed to be a really rare tractor here too hoping we find it partial Oliver presumably maybe the one the engine came out of and then this is a wide front chassis, nice little compact sized tractor that was there for a long time so probably most likely has the engine stuck in some parts and tractor parts, this is uh Farmall, whether F20 or normal, I can never tell them apart, it's a little later, one with factory rubber tires and here's that very old one, yes, this is a Huber, so Supposedly only a few thousand of these were made, it's a pretty rare tractor, steel wheels of course, it's a brand I'd never heard of and never found myself interested in seeing what it applies to.
We are here in Nebraska and it is Farmall 706 tractor country. This is an era of tractors that is really emerging and is collectible for a project or parts, but good potential either way
