farmer52 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If you think that is bad....look at older John Deere tractor brochures.

j hancock Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That brochure is a good one for the Mack collector but I haven't seen one go for that much.

Mrs. Farmer is going to be a rich lady when I pass (if she doesn't burn stuff or $1 yard sale).My wife looked at my collection of stuff an muttered she'll need a lot more dumpsters than she thought. Than called me a hoarder. She will really flip when we start moving things the spring and summer ... she hasn't been in the barn in a very long time. 3 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34528-holy-crap/#findComment-230455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I knew taking 1 of each brochure on that rack,would payoff one day! I always took 2 or 3 from the rack (tractors, cars, etc.). Hence my collection (and potential retirement income).From about 1966 to 1990 I would visit the new car dealers annually to get the latest literature (in recent years most of the brochures are online and hard copies are difficult to obtain). As long as I can remember I picked up John Deere literature everytime I visited. I didn't visit Mack or other HD truck dealers so my collection is light in the HD trucks area.

other dog Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I always grabbed brochures from Goodman Truck and Tractor in Amelia, Va. when I was a kid too. They were the local IH dealer...too bad I have no idea what happened to any of them. Still have a bunch of 60's baseball cards though. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

farmer52 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How about this one? It is a large picture of the MH used on the cover of the Owner's Manual. I offered the guy $10 plus shipping. His reply was "it is too difficult to package and take to the post office". Gee, slap it between two (2) pieces of cardboard and send it. Would cost less than $10. He stated he paid $25 for the picture.

Popular Post 57 bcr Posted February 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah, some of my buddy's parents would throw out their collections to get rid of "that junk"! Fortunately,my folks would actually drive me to the truck dealers,so I could "raid the racks" and talk to the salesmen.....Thanks Mom & Dad! 3 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

vision386 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 My Dad was always good about that too Al,whenever we were at or near a truck dealer,he knew "i'll just be a minute"! Horner Mack, (my local dealer in Jersey) the salesmen all knew my family and i,they'd save me one of each of the new brochures,calenders,hats etc. always answered my questions (no matter how dumb!),let me check out all the new trucks! I guess it worked,as I bought 3 out of 4 of my trucks from them!.................................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.
