Anyone else watch American Pickers last night on History Channel? The one place they went too had a ton of tractors...many Farmalls, a JD or two, even saw a Wheel Horse there. At the beginning of the show they had some kind of intro going, and I saw a 200 series Case GT, and then later a JD A or B tucked away in a barn. Just curious if anyone else watched it...I enjoyed seeing some of the stuff these guys had. I'd have a field day going rummaging through all the barns at the one place they were at!

I might have to start watching that, but it may get depressing, seeing as how I have to climb over my own stuff sometimes just to get past it......

I watched the show. I like it. Thats a neat idea but if they don't quit lowballin people the gig is gonna be up quick. Just seems to me that puttin it on TV and boastin about the profit margins will get a lot of doors slammed in thier face after a while. Its a little different with Pawn Stars where people are going to the pawn shop actively seeking to sell items. Speaking of Pawn Stars, Big Hoss is waaayyy upside down on the Indian motorcycle! He's in that thing for 6 grand!! If you didn't catch the show - looks something like this - but without my speed demon niece, of course.

Jared - You just need to catch the 1st episode at least to see all the guys Farmall's. I think it may be on again tomorrow night if I remember right.
Gtractor - I agree with ya. They are boasting about the profit margins they are making. I just wonder how much of the show is scripted. But some of that stuff seems over priced when they appraise it...kinda like that sprocket from the Harley Davidson bicycle. I saw that ep. of Pawn Stars with the Indian Motorcycle too...thats crazy. Its a wonder Chumlee didn't break it at the end lol! It sured looked nice when they were finished though. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I really like Pawn Stars.
