Fordfarmer 07-26-2012 07:03:43 184.158.3.96 Report to Moderator	Picked up a couple things I got on an online auction yesterday - these teeth were in a pile with the pre-'65 rowcrop drawbar I bid on. 13 of them, 3 broken and 10 like this. Any idea what they fit? No hay equipment listed on the sale, so no help that way. Look too short for reel or pickup teeth, but can't think of anything else they'd be. Don't appear to be broken - all straight across the ends and consistant lenght. Got the drawbar, now I need the RC to hang it from! They had a 971-5 with a 1-arm loader there - it sold for $2420 with the buyer's fee. [Reply]   [No Email]

Auction story, we were down visiting my Dad's Uncle, went out in his barn and saw a work bench that was about 12' long, 30" wide and about 18" thick, all oak. It had a vice on one end that was all wood, looked like the screw in the vice was hand carved. The question was asked "Uncle Mike what's that?", he replies "A tombstone maker's bench" After a few moments silence the question was asked "How did it come to be in your barn?" He replies "I was at an auction and the auctioneer was a friend of mine, a gave him a $.75 opening bid and got stuck with the darn thing"   [Reply]  [No Email]

Ya know, that just might be! :lol: Was going to add, Luke and I saw a field of green beans being harvested on the way, near Barron. 4 harvesters and two tractors with dump wagons. Closer to the sale site, we met a caravan of 9 harvesters, a tractor and dump wagon and a self-propelled dump wagon. (maybe made from a combine?) Wish I'd had a camera with me. Probably $3-4 million going down the road... This post was edited by Fordfarmer at 10:55:46 07/26/12.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Not from a 200, 300 or 500 series. The center loop extends beyond the coils on all those, one shape or another.   [Reply]  [No Email]

So I still don't know what they're for. May end up in the scrap if no one can use them or knows what they are.   [Reply]  [No Email]

And to agree with other post, probably in a lot somewhere that came with something that the buyer wanted.   [Reply]  [No Email]
