I'm an auction junkie, but I'm a bottom feeder. I
love to attend them, but only bid on real deals.
I usually know what the piece is worth. While
my time might be 'wasted' I think it is better for
me than 'wasting' it in a bar like others. To
each their own, hobby time is not 'wasted', and
that is my hobby time. I got a set of Ford pie weights with bolts &
discs for $12.50. I hear over on the Ford
section this should be worth $300-500. Or I
could sell 3 of special bolts & be making
money already. Bought a $14,000 tractor for
$10,600, a round baler the dealer was asking
$3500 for $1600. Bought 2 gravity wagons for
$1000 each at a dealer, got the 3rd exact
same at auction for $550. Chisel plow was
$900 at the dealer, when the main frame
cracked I got the same thing at an auction for
$150 & now I have lots of parts.... Waste of time? Crooked auctioneers? All
depends how you aproach it I guess. You
won't _ever_ be replacing my equipment for
the same money from a dealer or private
sale... Auctions work for me. You just have to
understand you are the only thing
representing your interests at the auction,
while the auctioneer is _always_
reprresenting the seller. As it should be. Buyer
beware. --->Paul

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
