Oh you just fond that out Gee . BTDT , that is WHY i never bought anything from any sales remotely close to home . As someone will know somebody that was at that sale and know what you paid for it then want to buy it for half what you paid and truck it for free both ways . Yea i bought a boat load of 706 gassers most came from the dead row alot more running ones with the T/A out , when they left they were field ready the ones with new T/A's left with two year warranty . No i did not GOUGE but i did make money . Here is the price , oh you want to trade ok then this is what i will give you for yours and take that off the top , that simple. People would come to me looking for a tractor or what ever and i would give them a price what it was going to cost them at my door . Some would hand me some dead presidents for a down stroke and i would usually have them a go to the field tractor by the first part of the next week . Some did mot like my go to the field prices but ya want quality then ya got to pay the piper to get them and ya don't truck them 4-500 miles for nothing and i did not go to sales that far out to B/S with people or to buy a hot dog and a pepsi . I was working the sale and when your working you had best be on your game . You had to know when they were tryen to play you and what auctioneers you could work with . I have had people try to use there STANDING in life to get you to lower your price to what they wanted to pay . One congressman thought that i should fix his tractor for free just so i could say that OH i fixed his tractor . NOT , one foot ball payer only wanted to give me 4000 on a 9000 dollar tractor and was put out that when i told him that i did not care who he was and i don't watch foot ball as it is a waist of my time and the price is still 9 k . Nope he did not buy it but some old dairy farmer did and was thrilled to get one so cheap and good. Not two hours after he was there . Local I H dealer said to me one day at lunch at the little local eatery Oh i see you still have that 706 you have had now going on what two months now , Ah no Frank that one just came in Saturday evening and there are three more coming and two in the shop why . True KODAK moment when his mouth dropped like a rock , his next words were You sold that one Oh yea nad seven more just like it , why ya want me to buy you some good tractors to put on your lot since you do not have anything to sell. And i ge NO all you buy is Junk , yea sometime i do but when they go out the door they are good and oh i stand behind what i sell.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
