Appears to be 81's. Given the striped hood graphics.

yes they do.. Nice low mileage sleds. They should bring some good coin if the right guys show up. Sad thing is you know the auctioneer will sell them separate because that brings in more money. They should be sold as a set not a piece with the trailer. Especially being consecutive serial numbers. :popcorn:

unfortunately people will drive up the price on the second one just to mess with the guy who buys the first one and wants both.......

What the auctioneers around here do is drive the price up on the first 1 then give the buyer the option for the second 1 at that same price.. I do see both side though b/c the auctioneers work for the seller. Not the buyer. They have to uphold a certain level of being a great auctioneer. That feeds his family and keeps him busy all year around. Its kinda a hit and miss with buyers. I hipe whoever does get them eblnjoys them however that looks. Showing or riding.. :-)

The sleds look nice, but I am digging on that early JD H. It has the cast front wheels, while should make it a 1939-42 "I think", as I can't remember the year they went to stamped steel. That is also a nice collection of Dubuque tractors. Even in the 2-cylinder era, the smaller Dubuque tractors had a foot clutch and a longitude motor, vs. the transverse motor like the H and larger tractors up to the 830.

Hope all the great iron finds a good home.
