Went to a consignment auction today .Was interested in a couple small discs for some food plots I want to plant this year. The discs were in bad shape and were more work than I wanted. While I was there I spotted an A/C running gear under a Ficklin gravity box. The running gear was in good shape.tires and rims excellent,no cracks or welds, a little play in the hitch but over all very nice. No need for the gravity box. I was thinking around 500 as a high bid. Well 2 guys started bidding back and forth right up to 450 and the other guy fudged at 475. I could have bid but figured it was just too far to tow it home ( 60 miles ). Talked to the guy afterwards,says he plans on using it to haul grain and he said would have gone more to buy it. Here are afew pics of the wagon.     There was a 185 D with a 500 loader.Did not stick around to see what it sold for.I will check auction web site for what it brought.   ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |
