Got an estate sale coming up and it looks like there's an old Ford tractor buried in the barn. Ya' need sumpin' to do while you're not killin' turkeys and runnin' cattle? ;)

The whole barn is full of old tools and car parts. This is just a TINY example of some of the crap piled in there. I see some old Ford flat head stuff on the shelf there. This is one of about elebenty-bazillion bins of "junk". Sure would be a fun parts hunting expedition if you need anything.

That looks like an old Jubilee.
Look for part and service manuals.
The originals are worth a good bit
Glad I ain't there. I'd be broker......

Yeppers, it's a Jubilee grille at least ... that's the extent of my knowledge.

Speaking of manuals, I always keep an eye out for old FACTORY manuals. I learned the hard way what those things are worth by finding out what all the bazillions of old Cadillac manuals are worth that I threw away over the years. ('course, that was before the internet ... so how was I supposed to know?) :(

This guy has a whole stack of manuals it looks like (he also has some old Model A era cars in the barn). This looks like bins of manuals to me, although the ones I can see appear to be a bit on the modern side.
