The wife and I went to two auctions this weekend. Saw some interesting things sell wit prices all over the map. Saturday, we went to an estate sale where a son was selling off his parents estate. The implements were all junk. They had three nice tractors though, that I thought were plenty cheap. -John Deere 2840, 3800 original hours, almost new rubber all around, Hiniker cab that was actually real nice, ran great, one owner. $7,000. And they had to beg to get that much.
-John Deere 2640, about 4,000 hours, fresh overhaul on engine, rear end, and brakes, JD Loader, good tires, real nice tractor. $8,000-
-John Deere 4010, diesel, hours unknown, decent rubber, needed paint, wide front, new seat, $5,000 and had to work to get it.
On Sunday, went to an annual fall consignment sale, locally known as the "junk sale". Old John Deere two-cylinders broke the bank. Old styled B's that barely ran and looked terrible brought $1250-$1750. They had a pair of rough old 530's that ran mediocre, one brought $4500, the other brought $5500! Decent bigger usable tractors didn't bring much, old rough antique's brought top dollar and then some. I bought an old sear's & robuck wagon gear that was pretty good for $100, and a really nice New Idea gear for $250. To top it all off, somebody stole my brand new B&W tow & stow tri-ball reciever hitch of the back of my truck. $130 for the darn thing and somebody stole it!

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
