Before seeing the sale prices on various pieces and complete JD tractors at the Ted Klee sale, I would have thought that the JD market had been in a slump this summer....however I think the vintage JD market is Alive & Well! Numerous parts brought market plus 20-50% more. While the crowd was large it wasn't overcrowded but folks were there to spend some $$.
I managed to get a few plow parts and plows bought, but had sometimes fierce competition all along the way.
Here are a few results:
777H plow 6x16" orig. $3750
A3 B3 two way plow with all attaching parts, coulters and jointers $700
411 one bottom plow all original for 330 $875
830 e/s all original paint, like new rubber $22,000
730 std. 4pc front weights, adj. w/f, all original $21,000
3 piece front weight set $1,750 nice original paint 4th weight pad $700
Front B2016R wheel weights $1300 for the pair
330 U restored with 2 front weights $26,000
330 S original $24,000
spoker D old repaint complete $15,500
HWH in repainted condition, but not expo quality $26,000
1st production GPO $15,500
2 bottom 40A orchard plow for GPO rusty original
$2,600
830 rice special e/s with all the correct rice equipment $14,500
730D standard loaded to the gills expo restoration new everything $22,000
NOS waterloo clamshell fenders $800 for pair
NOS 630 belt pulley $1,000
spoker D carb which sat under Ted's bed for the last 30 yrs $1,200
530 airstack (complete not NOS but close) $950!
Dubuque float-ride seat all reconditioned with new cushions $1600!
NOS H grills matched pair $1,225!
1B corn sheller super nice $1,050
NOS plow clevis G875A $155
The literature got a little crazy at times, but I didn't take notes on that.
For me it was more about being a spectator than a bidder as stuff just went way higher than I would have guessed.
I spoke with Ted at the end of the sale and he was quite pleased with everything.
The thing about Polk auction is the knowledge about parts and pieces which Jeff and Dennis have...make it much easier for folks to know what is actually being sold than with less knowledgeable auctioneers.
