Title: Heidric Auction Photos 9-05
Post by: rick427 on December 20, 2007, 11:13:06 PM

Thanks, Spencer, for kicking off this new forum.

Maybe some of you would be interested in seeing photos I took at the Fred Heidrich auction in Woodland, CA in September 2005.  Fred was a lifetime collector and accumulator of old iron from all over nothern CA.  The auction lasted two days, was conducted by Aumann Auctions, and bidders came from all over the globe, drawn by the rarer items, like the English steam cable plow.

Whoops, I was trying to post nine images and just got my knuckles rapped through cyber-space!  So I'll have to settle for four.  Spencer, is there any reason to limit us to only four images?  The two antique Caterpillar forums I'm on (likewise run by v-bulletin) are set up for a lot more per post. Could you maybe bump that up to at least eight or ten?  Not a very strong complaint, just a suggestion.

Looks like a dandy sale Richard. Lots of unrestored old iron there. I've got a few auction sale pictures I might get around to posting one of these days.

What is the next to the last photo of? I see it has a Holt engine but can't tell if it is an early Crawler or some specialized machine.

John, that is an old Holt 75, the model with the big front tiller wheel.  Many years ago a Sacramento area farmer cut the frame rails so he could use the engine as a stationary pumping engine for irrigation.

Nice tractor, but I've been trying to get them to let me loan them the correct magneto for it.

Thanks guys! I thought it was a crawler but am not familiar enough with them to ID a photo of one in that bad of condition.

Following the auction sale thread, here is one that I took back in 03 of a huge farm antique auction. There were several trailers of goodies like this one with all the magnetos, etc.
