Pagel on line only auction

Irwin, I didn't get down to see them at all...

Can you give a better run down on what you did look at?

I liked the picture of the RD4 with the big LeTOURNEAU winch on back.
And the RD8 with the big squeeze box sure looked like a beefy old machine
The RD6 dozers would have been fun to have, and so would the gas and Diesel 35's
The last R5 gas Cat looks like they didn't bother taking the tree out of the blade, So probably the engine is stuck tight?

Two other objects would have been fun was the old IH crawler which looked like a TD18 and the Unit dragline.

Sorry i missed you.the outside stuff was rusted tight,as were the motors.the 30 was nice (i want one)

Well Irwin, I got my one 'prize', seized in rust home, R5, at least the tracks rolled.
While loading, it was sad 😞 to see what was happening there, a semi-truck from Maustin Salvage was getting loaded and the fellows were torching the boom off the Unit dragline and they had an old grader on with a pull type and a tractor and other parts... I seen his bidder number, 1029 show up on the auction a lot. He got at least 16 lots, #34 (grader), 35 (IH crawler), 41 (blade), 44 (R5), 46 (grader), 47 (RD4 without winch), 49 (Twenty), 57 (TD1😎, 61 (D4 parts), 62 (AustinWestern/McD grader), 63 (Adams/IH grader), 64 (Cat grader), 65 (Adams pull grader), 66 (RC Case), 83 (D2), 84 (Unit Dragline).... and he would have had the lot 55 too if I had not tapped the mouse once too many. Now wish the mouse got clicked for the other R5, RD4, TD18, and the UNIT dragline. 😞 Oh well, saved one from the salvage.

Good luck on the r5and thanks for the update.kinda thought it was a scrapers dream sale.sad to see it went that way.

The scrapper was not the high bidder on the RD4 with the winch.
