Are 10 bolts IH hubs hard to find for 3½" axles?  I see some varieties in this auction.

Not super common, 3 1/4" are harder to come by . Most I have seen are 9 bolt in both of these sizes . I have seen one set of 4" nine bolts , they must have been hard to keep together as any 15 size tractor has weight and grunt to it

HTR sold us 3 tractors (MX 270, mtx140 and MX 230 all Euro). For the most part they own none of the tractors they have. They are old order Mennonite or Amish and don't drive vehicles. They supposedly work on these tractors for the dealership that sends them to the USA . 

Jesse started working for his current landlord and he took over the tractor side of the business . He sold 100 tractors two years ago I think. I think he probably owns most of this unless there is an investor.

So Jesse (don't know him) and  htr have no relationship or history together?  Talking about 2 different things?

Jessie started at Lancaster silo equipment and rents a barn there . HTR is totally separate from this. We came close to trying to import a MX we could have bought for 14k overseas probably around 2014 but didn't move fast enough

Jessie is not in his 30's yet and I think it is a few years away yet 👀

And he is moving out on his own to a new location?  If so good for him.  

I don't know that htr has the best reputation here locally.  14k for a mx without shipping...that would be a broken down parts tractor here now it seems.  Im guessing you just have to know what you are getting at htr.

I could be wrong about the details of his business deal with his landlord but I thought he was on his own with the Tractor Restoration Sales name

14k was a tractor advertised on tractor house (I might be forgetting the exact price but this is what I remember) . Jesse said he would have arranged shipping for a small fee . I'd have been happy with that, I'd buy three at that price and salvage what I could over time

You are correct. 

Be fun to meet some Redpower  people there if anyone else will be at the sale.

Several there I wish I had a bank account big enough to buy and a shed big enough to put them.

It would be nice to see a trailer pull in the driveway with the MFD and one of the row crop 1456 and the 1026 ...... Shed space is severely lacking without the imaginary trailer load showing up

Both my 706 and 806 came from Jesse. He was good to deal with. 

That's quite a collection up for sale, I took off of work with the intent of going to the auction. 

We bought a pair of 7250 PRO's from him when he worked for his landlord. Also got a 5130 from him since then. Got two dual PTO from him for Magnums recently

Bitty, I've been building the 'toy budget' for quite awhile now. This looks like it would be a perfect opportunity to reduce it!
