All went well for me even though it was hibid,got the better of the two plows, the boat engines the motorized bikes and the big fairbanks pump. The poor old farmstead has some 12 inch deep ruts everywhete now. Gonna be a chore for someone to clean up!
That motor and levers attached to the old pump was called a pump jack. One use was to continiously pump a water well to clear it out after treatment with chlorine. That brass casing was a howitzer shell casing. The missing part was aprimer much as you would find on a shot gun shell, except the howitzers was about 10 inches long. Thanks for the memory lane journey.
My dad’s best friend was Earl Hunt. Earl’s father and uncle were the well known ‘Hunt Brothers’ water well 😂drilling company of Sandusky, Michigan. My great grandfather was one of the H&H logging company partners. Heideman & Hunt co. Owned vast tracts of timber in Northern Michigan in the late 1800’s. Great grandpa was a wealthy man due to his logging interests. He also owned many farms in Michigan’s ‘thumb’ region with his partner Mr. Hunt.
It amazes me to see how this guy can get so excited for all those small things and pieces in the scrap piles. I grew up in a farmer's village in Switzerland. I would even go with the farmer living nearly next door plowing with his horse when I was a little kid. He got his first tractor about sixty years ago. We had a lot of small farms around and few wealthy ones. There was no space to keep all the old equipment for ages. While digging around I found smaller tools and stuff that were well over a hundred years old. A lot of equipment was still made of wood. Most old stuff went to the scrap yard or up in flames. My Grandpa was quite a wealthy farmer in an another village and he could afford exclusive Italian sports cars. But he gave up farming before I was born. He had tenants taking over. The former farmland got part of rich suburbia. And on most of those former field there are housing complexes and luxury villas. But this land was sold by my family for a ridiculously low amount of money. I am always amazed how much space farmers in the USA had. People found space to keep really everything.
It would be cool to know more about the back story. When did this gentleman pass? What's the status of the farm now? I'm always fascinated seeing these old farms and love to hear the back story. That workshop is so nostalgic. You could imagine him working in there back in the day, listening to a baseball game during the summer.
That first shop bldg you looked at had three "Camelback" drill presses. Seeing just one is nice, but three tells me he liked to collect them. They are still useful and lots of people converted them with an electric motor instead of line shaft power.
There is definitely a section of those farming that get value from all the sheet metal they have. Good content. More than one farmer has done capital improvements just to house old stuff so somebody can find it later. Stay safe.
The red piece looks like it was spreader bar for a drag harrow. Probably not a spring tooth harrow but the flat sections that had what looked like railroad spike facing down that could pivot for depth worked. Mostly used for bedding broadcast seed in.
It really does look like a Redback spreader bar for a harrow. I can't think of a better way to explain it but, there should be another piece that hooks to those bars, made of chains, and looks kind of like a crocheted afghan in a way.
@richardmiller7909 I've seen those spreaders over the years. We had a folder out of pipe. Think had four chains that hooked up to a clevis. We used to transport it around on a hay rake. Loaded the sections on and off by hand. Grandpa had about 180 acres. We often attached it behind the cultivator depending on conditions. Interesting old school farming. Adjustable spike tooth harrow is what we pulled. But offset harrow I think it was also called
Tim, that was so awesome to see . Especially before everyone tramples through and moves everything around into a disarray. That blue Ford van ('78?) is identical to one I remember from high school that a family drove around in N.J. where I grew up. The family (mom, dad, and at least 13 kids) drove it from California all the way to the east coast, and continued to use it as a daily driver up through the 2000's. Looking forward to seeing the next video!
Little dark in there might need a flashlight. Oh no problem I have a little one I keep on me as part of my EDC kit you know wallet, Leatherman type knife\tool combo on belt pouch, small magnet for scrapping, and this handy little flashlight \ ghost buster photon ray blaster\ weed eater \ leaf blower \ The Club steering wheel lock theft prevention \ auxiliary power supply capable of running 10,000 BTU window AC, a 1200 watt micro wave and a small welder simultaneously without much trouble all in this super sleek and easy to tow dual axle trailer that I can barely feel behind the hopped up Pete 359 I tote it around with. It's a convenience that everyone shouldn't do without. I mean why cheat yourself with a little rechargeable flashlight that fits in your pocket that'll turn night into day 200yrds out but that's all it does is light stuff up, when you can get something that provides so much more
I wonder if those unknown long green and red things were meant to be sides for the ancient Deere auger lift. That thing looked like it would throw more grain out the sides than it would take it to the top. It also looked like the auger itself would hop out of the gutter/trough every couple of minutes or so if it didn't have sides.
Im from Louisville ky. My dad used to have buy 67-69 Camaros and 66 and67 Chevelle's in the 90s. We use to go to junkyards all the time in ky that had old muscle cars. My point is is I wonder if those old cars are still at those junkyards today
Nice! I have a soft spot for old farm trucks and we have kept every one of them Dad used (except one old IHC 3 TON) on our farm since 1950. The collection isn't this extensive though!
1920's John Deere Tube elevator. If you search for 1926 John Deere All Steel Tube Elevator here on youtube theres a short video of one working. Lots of cool stuff on that farm.
I've seen an auger/conveyor like that in a few videos on here, one was at farm progress days I think. Those if I remember were yellow, possibly Minn. Moline brand but I don't know if any were self powered like that one. Very cool, all of it
Once I get around some seller or what ever that guy was and they start throwing around the the words rare and scarce that's when it's time for me to bug out😂😂😂😂
I think the hard steel laminated to the anvil base may have come loose. Would have to inspect for machine tool marks if it was milled down but why would you do that to a good anvil? AL.
It is amazing that all those trucks and cars are in amazing condition. Normally vehicles that had been used on farms are completely banged up or worn out.
These videos don't come out till this is all over. That said, the tool for turning pins shown about halfway through this video is now gone. I would of loved to see it go to Strongs garage up in Canada. They place a lot of importance to old tooling and other equipment used on building engines or other
Prefer the format where you follow your own nose around a site like this - following someone else is not my preferred route!!! But I get that the gentleman showing you round is understandably proud of his knowledge and keen to enlighten you.
wish this was an in person auction, the auctioneers are getting lazier and lazier with these. The local scrap guys are going to clean up and find the treasurers.
I have a Whatzit that I see and need to know what it is. At the 36:43 mark, directly to the left of your host about waist high is an oval stamped steel tray with what looks like accordion bends to make the rounded end. I figure it’s something to do with inspecting grain from a silo, but not sure. Somebody please enlighten this non-grain belt person.
WELL unless I blinked I only saw ONE full sized tractor, where were the rest, (or were the 'family' keeping them), and where was the combine - if nothing had left the farm.?
Obit says no kids and he was in a nursing home. Probably sold the bigger equipment years ago and been renting the farm. My guess would be nothing left the farm as far as antiques.
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍. That is so cool ! Thank for filming this time capsule 😎👍🇺🇸😎👍🇺🇸

love that farm bike1

Amazing to find so much original equipment in good condition. Back before we became a throw away society
Thats one hell of a flash light, need one to keep in my glove box
In the summer they make great portable mosquito homing beacons.
You are a kind soul. Thank you.

Nice 57 F100! The ‘30 Ford pickup I would love as is! Nice ‘56 Fairlane . As always, thanks for sharing!

That's a sweet 56 Ford I would love to have that one too I have a four-door 56 Ford like that
He was quite the big-time operator back in the day with the Ford N600 and pup trailer hauling grain. Quite the outfit back in the day.

look up Roymac Hunt obituary
Royman hunt obituary 30:01
Love those old fords!
That is a sweet little 57 Ford truck I would love to own that
That potbelly woodstove is a real prize.

Very cool place! You're a lucky man, I'd have loved to wander around there for a day... thanks for taking us along.

Online only auction, won't be any tramples
That motorized bicycle was sooo cool!! I could see Tim riding that thing!
That's like finding a king's treasure hoard!
Tons of want with that '57 F100. The '56 Vic is awesome too.
They will pull some big dollars I think. But still way under the cost to fully restore one
So many things I would love to have.thanks so much 😊

I think the 5556 and 57 Fords were the prettiest swords made
Thanks for that great video and all those great barn finds. Hopefully they'll end up in good hands.
That '57 pickup is a beauty-wow!
Someone buy that man a flashlight lol. Thanks for the tour

I second that.

4:46 I would call that a 'beam harrow'.
Red long boards is a stump puller. St.Paul,Minnesota.
That long 2x4x16 and the 2x6x16 is for training horses and mules to work a plow of pulling loads.
John Deere paddle grain elevator very rare to find complete with engine. Spotted a Cushman engine next to it.
Loved this video ❤️👏🤲
Wow! Edwards engines very rare even here in Ohio.I've seen only one that was restored. AL.
Believe that JD auger/elevator is a 308. Seen one listed a few months ago, $2600.00
Monitor is another well pump engine. Well designed but rare as well.AL.
The boards on the ground are for hooking up drag harrows
it was called a JD small grain elevator 23 or28 ft length with engine mount or pto drive circa late 30s early 40s
Once I get around some seller or what ever that guy was and they start throwing around the the words rare and scarce that's when it's time for me to bug out😂😂😂😂
You going to have a part 2 with the auction? I'm interested in what those 2 trucks go for. That 30 pick up is amazing!!
Wholly Cow. I could spend a week with ya on your adventures. So reminds me of the 70s and early 80s with my Dad.🇺🇲🇺🇲
Oh another property being taken apart, thumbs up great video
The auction is going on now, 1-12-24. I googled, roymac hunt collection hibid
I wish I could hear about these auctions in advance.😊
This one ends January 23, 2024
It’s to pull several small sections of spike drag.thanhs😊
Cool
I think the hard steel laminated to the anvil base may have come loose. Would have to inspect for machine tool marks if it was milled down but why would you do that to a good anvil? AL.
Nice😊
YEA YEA YEA
It is amazing that all those trucks and cars are in amazing condition. Normally vehicles that had been used on farms are completely banged up or worn out.
At 9:24 those long rods are for changing big tires.

That for f100? was lovely
a hitch for pulling harrow sections
Does that tripod high powered flood light fire those 105mm shells ?
These videos don't come out till this is all over. That said, the tool for turning pins shown about halfway through this video is now gone. I would of loved to see it go to Strongs garage up in Canada. They place a lot of importance to old tooling and other equipment used on building engines or other
The vehicles in this video are still being bid on.
The closing day is January 23, 2024
That guy is more hyper than Joe 😂
Joe would be hyper-formance!
Prefer the format where you follow your own nose around a site like this - following someone else is not my preferred route!!!
But I get that the gentleman showing you round is understandably proud of his knowledge and keen to enlighten you.
Is that truck a Detroit Diesel?
I wonder if it was long red beans would be for pulling stumps with
Horses
👍👍
wish this was an in person auction, the auctioneers are getting lazier and lazier with these. The local scrap guys are going to clean up and find the treasurers.
That 57 ford is sweet probably get 12k for it
Yeah
I have a Whatzit that I see and need to know what it is.

feed tray for the IHC corn sheller it's attached too
Honda bought back as many of those three wheelers as they could get hold of due to tip-over accident law suits
I know ! I spent 3 days in the hospital when I was 19 in 87 from one of those death traps
Can you buy anything there right now I know some times they well do that.
Everything is lotted to sell online
WELL unless I blinked I only saw ONE full sized tractor, where were the rest, (or were the 'family' keeping them), and where was the combine - if nothing had left the farm.?
Obit says no kids and he was in a nursing home. Probably sold the bigger equipment years ago and been renting the farm. My guess would be nothing left the farm as far as antiques.
You missed the airplane trailer with the P-51?
I thought vehicles rusted more than that in Kansas. They rust 365 days a year here in Minnenowhere.
Same thing here in northern Vermont, way to much road salt
At 8 ft break is worth thousands of dollars 😂
Cool. I am restoring a 57 Ford F250. Check it out
They should contact AMERICAN PICKERS
Yeah, yeah,yeah…
hitch for diamond tooth harrow
What do they want for the 57 Ford pu
Current bid is over $8000
Probably a bargain at that.
So what was the engine in the 56 Vicky ?
It's a Y block
So not a Ford guy, what is a Y block ?
That Chevy pick up looks just like the one used on the planes, trains and automobiles movie but it’s been way worse shape in the movie.
