rear. I went to our show grounds today for the summer consignment auction. One of the last things to sell was a C with a Woods mower. I didn't raise my hand at all and the last bid was $240. It had been repainted and was faded pink. It had one new rear and one new front tire and the other 2 were ok. It had straight tin and was complete. It also the hydraulic lift on the mower deck and need a little work and new belt. The worst was it was stuck. While I was looking at it, this guy say put it in gear and see if it turns over. He stuck it in 1st and tried to rock it. I think he might have been the one that took it home Oh well, I didn't need another project anyway. There was also a 53 SC plow with a set of tie barred lift latches that sold for $100. I bought a FMJ mag that has a broken impulse spring for $11. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Ive done the same thing many a time. Watched a C sell about the condition you described for about that money and my hands were glued to my side. Watched a 210 sell for $3,500 that run soooo smooth and again my hands were stuck. Watched a beautiful Gleaner G with a 301 gas in it sell real cheap with heads and a perfect like new John Deere 42 combine sell a couple years ago for $700 with bean head. It was nice nice nice and a scrap man bought it and loaded it up. Had a chance to buy a 720 diesel Deere about 10 years ago for $1,500 from someone I knew. It was all painted up and ran nice but the pony wouldn't start. My rear is gettin sore from all the self kicking. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Rocking it in first is least likely to move the engine even if its free. Rocking is far more effecting in the top gear. Gerald J. |

| I am haunted be a Gleaner S that I let get away for $450. Field ready, and I let it go. I was saving the space on the trailer for a 1937 UC that was down the sale line. Then it went for $4000. I came home with an empty trailer and my tail between my legs. I feel you pain. |

Charlie - you know how this works - $240 was your starting bid - you would have run it to $500 and then kick yourself for paying too much. Oh well, either way, I will save a kick for you. ------------- I used to be young and stupid, now I am not young anymore. |

Well, I don't think I'll kick yah, lol, sometimes a man has to say NO! At one time I kept buying more projects than I could fix up and it got a little out of hand. But man o man was that cheap for that tractor, heck the rear wheels and tires were worth that, lol. ------------- Hopefully Future AC Man! Ride With Jesus my friends! Lonas |

opposite experience today at my first auction. nothing big, no orange available but i got a usable set of front and rear wheels for a garden tractor, 2 large rotary cultivator blades, an 8 disk 3 point rig, a roller on a stand (for cutting long boards) and, oh yeah... and an almost new 10-24(11.2 -24) tire... all for exactly $100. the tire went for $25 and i was not the only bidder! a smooooth running farmall low boy went for $1200 but i'm holding out for something orange, preferably a B, now to get the tractors running that can use this stuff... if you're feeling down, charlie... just take Lena out for a spin and watch your grin grow. ------------- 52 CA, 41 B and a little B1 oh, yeah... and an 8N ford snuck in there, too. |

I told him to put it in 3rd and thought he did. I think he was the one that bought it and didn't want it to turn over or he would have had to pay more for it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
