A Ferguson tractor and disc plow described as "extra nice, near mint" sold for $1,125. An Ertl John Deere 430 with all original paint sold for $575, while a rare original Sheppard diesel tractor with painted filters, one side decal missing and all original paint, went for $325. A mint condition Farmall 806 with round fenders sold for $300 and a Caterpillar D-6 with bar grille and swinging drawbar (first version) fetched $225. A custom John Deere mixer mill was sold for $110.

But it was the custom-built models that really sparked the interest, with special attention to those bearing the Mohr name. A Mohr M 604 FWA sold for $900 while a Mohr Minneapolis-Moline M 5 wide front went for $500. A Mohr Minneapolis Moline Z with clam shell fenders sold for $450. Other Mohr models included an MM Jet Star 2, an MM 5 Star Gas, wide and narrow front versions of the MM M 602 and an MM UTC. Prices for these models ranged from $375 to $475. Trumm models were also hot items. A John Deere 8020 fetched $875 while a John Deere WA-14 brought $750.

A rare SP-100 self-propelled combine built by Cottonwood Acres sold for $400. A Minneapolis-Moline corn sheller, also by Cottonwood Acres, brought in $375. Each model had some damage, but this didn't deter the bidders. A Minneapolis Moline Jet Star orchard tractor built by Jeff Cerroll sold for $700 while a Berg Massey Ferguson 98 went for $350.

And then there were the boxes. Most collectors know that the box is at least as important as the model it holds. Many of the models on display were boxed in their original containers and a box lot of boxes sold at the conclusion of the sale.

Lot #400 was advertised as "box only  for John Deere 60, nice square box, good color" while lot #401 was listed as "John Deere 60, 70 percent."

The box sold for $100. The tractor went for $90.

At the end of six hours, the auction crowd had thinned out from an initial 200 to about 20 die-hard bidders. Donald Shoemaker of Taneytown, Md., stayed to the end.

"We're friends of the Albaugh family," he said. "It's a shame to see the collection sold, but I'm glad the sale was local. A lot of family friends were able to buy the toys."

Leroy Coshun of Keymar, Md., was happy with such a successful day. "The sale was fantastic," he said. "And I got the two tractors I wanted, the 122 Cub Cadet and the Farmall 806. It was a great day."
