Here is how I act at sales!!!

JD Seller

Well-known Member
Traditional Farmer accused me of being a "Nanny" to others. Well I can sleep very well with that term. Here is how I handle things at auctions.

1) This was at a sale at Elizabeth, ILL. just this last spring. An older long time Elizabeth farmer died in his early to mid 80s. He only had one son that was not interested in farming. He lives in Chicago and is a police officer there. The son did decide to keep the family farm and rent it to relatives. He also kept a 1970 JD 4020 diesel his Dad had bought new. While the sale was going on I saw several metal covers off of various pieces of equipment on one of the junk wagons that had not sold yet. I got the son over and showed him that one of them was the three point lift linkage cover for the tractor he was keeping. His Dad had it off replacing the three point control cable and had not put it back on. These are kind of high priced if you can even find a good one. He was very glad to not have it sell. Plus many of the other shields/metal covers went on other things he had that would sell later in the day. I showed him what they fit and the son put them with each piece they went with. Helping the son out DID not cost me anything. I helped him on something he had zero knowledge on. I would hope he would help me on something related to his job in Chicago.

2) This auction was just this fall West of Worthington, Iowa. I was watching the junk wagons sell. There where some brand new White plow parts there: five new points, shins and land slides. These would fit the plow that was on the sale later. When they came up for sale I told the auctioneer right there what they where for. I bought all of the parts for $10. I really was interested in the plow as well. So later when the plow sold I did bid on it but it went higher than I wanted to go. The plow needed all the new parts I bought put on it as the ones on it where worn out. I asked the winning bidder if he was interested in the plow parts. He was. I told him I had given $10 but they where worth $150-200. I said make me an offer. He said $50. I told him sold. There was zero problem with that as I had the auctioneer announce what the parts where for. The fellow that bought the plow had seen the parts but did not want to buy them and not get the plow. So we both went home happy.

So maybe I am a NANNY. LOL

Everyone have a good day.
 
Traditional Farmer made a profit on loader arms. You made a profit on plow parts.
You like to share your knowledge. Good for you.....but don't condemn those that don't.
Both of you could have made more money selling them to someone else.
It appears TF makes at least part of his living by buying items and reselling. That is a tough way to earn a living. Many people that make their living that way take years, even decades to learn the business. They're usually not eager to give that knowledge away. There's nothing immoral about it.
 
JD the only thing that that comes to mind is "Nanny Nanny BOO BOO" To be said with thumbs in ears and fingers out stretched.... Sorry could not resist. I Think there is a time to use your knowledge to help and a time use that same knowledge to make a profit which is what your story illustrates.
My Brother and I went to a local farm auction we had a number of things there and the the very last was a stack of florescent lights that came out of a freezer that My brothers BIL gave us. They are on the last row of misc. stuff at the end of the day. We were sitting waiting for the auctioneer to work his way down the line. A guy we know and do business with and has an abattoir sits down with us. (The guy is a real pain to work with always trying to get over on you.) He says he has been here all day just to buy those lights. I don't think any body here has a clue what they are worth they are for a walk in freezer and I priced a 4ft. one this week and it was $185 and most of those are 8ft. which are more. He says I have had my eye on them all day and only one person has shown any interest at all I am going to buy them and I plan to "steal" them. What are Yall doing here this late in the day? So we told him We were just waiting to see what our stack of lights were going to bring. he didn't speak to us for a long time and He didn't steal either.

Absolutely! As "the old guy's" we need to and are essentually obligated by the Bible to impart the wisdom we have gained to the next generation. Few want to acknowledge this concept. But then the saying 'Good judgement comes from experience, and a heck of a lot of that comes from bad judgement'. Pride and indifference play a heavy role in this. I run in to this frequently at work. I've been a supervisor for 28 years now so I have a fair handle on most things pertaining to my job, especially people related issues. What is sometimes hard for the younger set to grasp is the rule book and it's codes of conduct. I end up explaining how those rules are not suggestions, but put in place first for safety, then quality and then productivity. I do have some leway to deal with perticular circumstances which I have learned and done many times. A few go down the road because they won't be pushed around by an old guy like me, a few more take the passive aggressive approach but usually end up going down the road later. And the rest actually 'get it' and find things are so much easier.
JDseller keep doing what you obviously enjoy doing. This is our form of "Quantative easing" that can make things better by putting out the currency of wisdom backed by the gold of wisdom. Some will get it and some will not.
I got your back man!
 
You're right I have more time and effort invested in my "Auction Education" than most any Lawyer or Doctor have in their education and I don't see those folks giving out their knowledge.If I know someone well thats a friend I'll gladly help them but for the most part
I just Mind My Own Business and let others mind theirs.
 
Pretty silly for you to got to auctions and not resell the items you buy for a profit,but of course you resell for a profit.Selling at home after the auction is no different than selling at the auction.Buyers try to get the best of sellers at auctions and sellers try to get the best of buyers and I've seen it go both ways dozens of times.Some people hate auctions I love them.
 
I went to a sale a couple years ago that had an 8 N tractor on it. I stopprd the day before when they were setting things up and looked at the tractors that were for sale. At this time they all had drawbars and 3 point hitches on them. The day os the sale the drawbars and 3 point hitches were gone. I asked the one son about them and he said the auctioneer told them sell them seperate as they would bring more money that way. So i decided then I did not want any of the tractors they had. But id id buy a complete 3 point hitch and a short drawbar for less than 20.00. I needed these for another tractor that I was working on. I then left the sale so I don't know what the rest sold for. I was at another sale where i knew the guy all my life. He had several small tractors and they ran them all out to the line to be sold. I was talking to one of his sons and he told me that the family was going to bid on the one tractor. Well along comes a dealer and walks over to the tractors and mess around with them. I saw him screw the carb adjustment out so they would not start. Just before they were to sell the son and I went and readusted the carb so they would start and stood by them until they we sold.
 
You see that alot at sales. The owner dies suddenly and someone else sets the sale up. They have no idea what goes with what. I beleive we all do the samething. Take something off a piece of equipment and put it somewhere. Buy new parts for something place them in the shop and they are not put on. Someone else comes along after your gone and don't have a clue. I try to point things out to my sons when they are around in case or should I say when that happens to me. I would want someone to get whatever went to any thing that was sold. Not to mention my family getting a better price for the item as a result.
I would and have done the samething as you did. I would point it out before it sold if reasonably possible to do so. I would sleep better knowing I treated someone as I would want to be treated.
 
It's good to know that there are still some honorable people at these sales. So many times it's dog eat dog out there, and no wonder why some people new at this come away from sales with a very bitter taste in their mouth.
 
I've got another one that'll probably ruff some feathers and I learned a good lesson one day.Years ago I was at a dealer sellout auction late December drizzled rain all day started to freeze some in the PM and I was about 100 miles from
home I had bought some stuff but the biggest problem was how to get a huge pile of tractor weights loaded that were about 100 yards from where I could get the truck and trailer.One loader tractor on the scene I went over to the guy and said I needed the weights loaded he said a whole lot of others needed stuff loaded too.So I handed him a $20 bill and then asked where I was in the line of people to get loaded he said
"You just went to #1" Obviously there were two lines the paying line and the free line(LOL) After that if it its a sale I figured I was going to need to have some things loaded I always find the loader man give him a Ten$ and tell him I expect to have some stuff to load and it'll be another tip after the sale according to how much I have.I almost always get great loader service while those standing around waiting for the Freebie loader service wait.When it comes to loading at sale I've found you really get (or don't get)what you pay for (or don't pay for)
As they used to say $$$$ Talks and BS Walks or at sales cheapskate BSers load by hand(LOL)
 
Know what ,been watching the fuss and all the strife you report , and all in allyou all are doing a goood job taking care of biznez.. Granpa always said ,, :"IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING A FEW TOMATOES THROWN AT YOU EVERY NOW AND THEN , YOU AINT DOINGG NUTHIN " ,, relax JD Seller ,you would make anyone a fine neighbor ..and guys like you make this country GREAT
 
In That situation the person that messes with something like that tractor is a crook for sure and needs to be run off the auction grounds.I guess I'm a Nanny sometimes I was at a neighbor's estate sale and someone messed with a rare Oliver I had sold the man that died awhile before he died.Great tractor ran like a top but wouldn't start come to find out someone had taken out the rotor button.Anyway when it wouldn't start and bidding started slow I spoke up and told the crowd what I knew about the tractor and that I'd guarantee I'd get it running before the end of the day it bought a good price and I knew the buyer anyway so we had it running in short order.
 
In that case the sellers need to do a little research and get an honest auction company that knows what they're doing.Instead most sellers shop auctioneers by price and they get lousy service.If they're completely clueless then they need to hire a knowledgable 3rd party to manage the sale to set op the suff to be sold and to keep an eye on the auction company.
 
Quantative Easing is NOT backed by Gold or anything else and it always leads to the to bankruptcy and
destruction of those that have tried it.Its a false illusion of hope that ends in disaster.Excellent comparsion excepct that false information about it being backed by Gold.
 
20 years or so ago I went to an auction down by Milledgevile Illinois. There was a half dozen things I was interested in and bid on. About the 3rd item I bid on I noticed another guy bidding up and dropping out before he won the item. Got to the point he was running everything up and buying nothing. HMMM. Well a WD-45 came up and I got in a bidding war with this character and pushed the price up over $2000. No sooner than I bid he goes higher so I just stopped bidding and said to the auctioneer and everyone else there that this guy was a shill bidder and working for the Auctineer. Auctioneer sai that he didn't work that way but everyone there knew his reputation. I turned to walk away and this Auctioneer all but begged me to add another bid. I loaded and paid for the items I had bought and see this shill bidder get chewed out by his wife big time. A week later the tractor was on another sale of the auctioneer's and barely brought $1000. No sure if they learned their lesson or not.
 
So you don't get it huh? You are obviously thinking the Goverment's form of QA and not God's.
 
It takes all kinds to make the world turn round. JD I admire you for trying to do the right thing and aparently you can aford to. I try not to judge others for what they do as I'm sure they have their reasons. I may not agree with their actions some times but I'm not walking in their shoes. I choose not to associate with some if I'm not impressed with thier behavior but I don't think they really give a SH!T and thats fine. Live your life as you think best and let others live theirs. The long and short of it is if I met JD at an auction he'd probabley be the guy who if I asked about a certain item he would give his opinion, others would not offer any opinion and others might even mislead. I don't know any of the poster personaly but I've met each kind many times in past. That's what make life interesting and I wouldn't want it any other way. Best to everyone on this board in the new year in what ever they have come thier way. Rocko.
 
went to a HUGE auction a couple of years back , of a collector that had been around for ages. folks there from all over the country. The ONLY auction Ive ever been to where literaly every easily removable piece was taken off and put on different pallets. there was something like 200 tractors of all makes,all kinds of equipment of all makes. literaly every tractor, and every piece of machinery had been rendered inoperable. it was obviously a deal where the auctioneer knew there would be a large number of collectors there and they would have the knowledge to pick out the pieces they needed out of a pallet full of mostly junk, to complete a restoration. Didnt take but about five minutes for the collectors to figure out what was going on, and the bids stayed surprisingly low. I bought a truck/trailer load,of pallets and things with a few parts and equipment i needed and followed the auctioneer around replacing the parts i knew where fit on equipment/tractors as he was selling them from the stuff i had bought. guys got a big kick out of it but auctioneer sure didnt appreciate it any.
 
I think we all know we"re taking our chances at an auction, but how very nice it is to have someone step up and give you a hand or some advice that saves you $$.
 
I am not a very experienced auction goer. I attend one auction after we moved from NJ to MN before I joined the Army in 74. I attend my next one in 80 while home on leave then 2 more in the late 80's while stationed at Ft Knox. When we decided to start farming the place ourselves I started going to more. It's been an experience and a lot of fun. I love to watch people and have seen some people trying to mess with stuff like carb settings and placing stuff on the junk wagons in the bottom of boxes. Then I've seen people being extreamly honest.

One couple really had my wife and I laughing. The guy collects JD tractors. He'd come to buy a nice LA. While standing in line with them to pay for the things we had gotten the guy was just estatic that he'd won it and he got it for less than half of what he had expected to pay. Then his wife ask why he hadn't bid on another model that been on his wish list. He says well we decided that I could buy one tractor. She says no we decided we could afford to spend that X amount of the LA. They were both laughing about thier lack of communication. But then I've seen guys bidding against thier brothers or fathers/sons that are farming together but didn't decide who was going to be doing the bidding and were not standing together. Saw an Amish father son combo standing right next to each other, both cupping thier chins and bidding by moving thier index finger on thier cheeks. The elder got pretty upset when he realized that his son was bidding too and wanted the auctioneer to start over. There were a half dozen people bidding and the auctioneer told the guy "hey if it were just you and your son I would have stopped you" sorry only fair to the others that I keep going.

Heck all auction companies are not the same. One here I go to thier auctions but only if they have something I really want. The guy is honest, does a great job, has a fan base and gets top dollar for most things. The top dollar part is why I don't attend many of his auctions. Another works really fast. If you are the "thinking bidder" who has to act like yer really thinking about yer next bid yer gonna loose with this guy. I go a lot of his auctions cause things go for a lot less. There is one company that will print a bill that describes a tractor as being a runner or the engine is free but when you get to the auction there are signs on each tractor saying "tranny problem" ot stuck engine" or "doesn't run". Almost everything listed will be one or two steps lower than what the bills says.

I really wish I had someone really experenced to go with me like JD or Traditional so I could learn from them. But it's been kind fun learning anyway.

I don't begrudge anyone a reasonable profit but --

Years ago, James and I drove to Oklahoma to buy a baler. Someone got there literally minutes before we did and bought it.

We offered to buy it from him. We knew he had paid about $1,700 but now wanted $3500. We declined.
 
Most sellers have been around long enough that they know all the auctioneers in the area and they go with one that they have worked with before wether buying or selling and go with the one they know the best and not by price to sell. A lot of times it might be the neighbor that is the auctioneere.
 
Went to an auction and won the bid on an old icecream scoop. Later a younger family member came up an asked me if she could buy it since it was a rememberance of her grandfather. Told her I wouldn't sell it to her. Asked her when her birthday was. After she told me I GAVE it to her and wished her a happy birthday, although the birthday was a long way off. The scoop ment far more to her than a twenty dollar bill ever did to me.
 
You want to know what would happen if I told somebody that those parts went with something else? The owner would be some cocky pr!ck who would act like he knew everything and didn't need my help. Plain and simple. So if he or the auctioneer don't know what they're doing,no skin off my nose,I'm keeping my mouth shut and not gonna try to be the smartest guy in the room.
 
When I suspect I'm bidding against a shill and its something I really want I bid as if I'm thinking every bid is my maximum. Makes them a lot more cautious about tossing out their next bid if they think they'll own it.
 
You did the right thing. I'd like to have you as a neighbor. On the other hand I'm thankful traditional farmer isn't one!
 
I got into the opposite of the problem of separating essential parts and selling them separately: TOO MUCH stuff with the item.

I had a JD A, with powertrol but no 3 point. There was a JD aftermarket 3 point at an auction, but apparently because it was exactly the same color, they had put it in with a Shaver post driver. When they got to the driver, they didn't say anything about a JD 3 point- just said "it comes with all the mounting hardware".

So the dilemma: do you say something and get it separated out, and have to compete with everyone who wants a JD 3 point, or just keep still? I decided on the latter, and just take my chances. I didn't particularly need a post driver, but I ended up buying it for 500 bucks, which was a decent price, and got the 3 point, of course.

Ended up never using the driver, and sold it for about what I paid, so got the 3 point for free. But I got rid of the A, so no need for the 3 point, and I still have it. Will clean it up and sell it, if I ever retire and have time for such projects.
 
In general you see a lot of good people and good actions at farm sales around here.

See the type of stuff you did 100 times over, just normal.

Dad wanted a 3pt hoist, bought one at an auction for $10. Was happy he finally found one.

Fella came up to him after the sale, said I missed that, what would you want for it? Dad joked, $25. Fella pulled out his wallet and handed dad the money.

So, he ended up selling the hoist he wanted....

Just how it ges sometimes.

JD,

In your first example, the miscellaneous parts were back with the tractor BEFORE they were sold. I see that at auctions and agree in some cases. What about all the people that may have shown up that may be looking for shields or covers? Tractor buyer won, parts buyers lost.

In your second example, you indeed made a profit, so I am not sure how that is any different. Unless you feel that your profit was reasonable gain, but not price gouging. But really, you paid $10, how are they suddenly worth $150-200. They are worth $10, thats what you just paid for them.

For the original loader example. I doubt the interested bidders on the loader knew the brackets would appear at the end of the auction, otherwise they would have bid higher. I imagine they bid knowing they would be searching for brackets. The buyer got lucky, plain and simple. What if the buyer of the contents of the building just happened to buy the contents to get the loader brackets? At that point it is back to the auctioneer not doing a good job of prepping.

Dont take my comments as negative, but I am of the position you should know what you are bidding on, and bid accordingly. Once the hammer has dropped that is the contract you entered into.

All the other talk about making tractors not start, switching items around on pallets on purpose, that is a whole different subject.

Have to disagree there. Something is worth what someone will pay for it. If you miss an item while buying coffee or something and I bought it for $10, it was worth $10 to me and not the next higher bid it would have taken to buy it by someone else. If you are willing to buy the item from me for $50 (or whatever) then that's what it's worth to you.
 
My older brother had a stroke about 8 years ago. I am only sibling living close by and he was a bachelor. Was appointed guardian and conservator of his needs and property. Had to have an auction a few months later. He had quit farming several years earlier but all the old machinery was still sitting around. Had to value all his property. Heck, how do I know what stuff is worth. Contacted a few locals to get some ideas, court accepted all my evaluations. Anyway, he was a gunsmith also. About 75 firearms in the house. Hauled all them to my house in town. About half belonged to others that brought them over for repairs. All the rest went on the auction block later in the fall. Three and a half years later, he passed away. At his funeral, guy comes up to me and says, you sold a rifle on the auction that belonged to my nephew. Gave me a name. I looked in my records. Saw that the rifle belonged to someone I knew. It was busted up in several pieces as some one had used it for a club I guess. I determined what it brought on the sale. Contacted the guy who had previously owned the rifle. Asked him if he would take the amount the gun sold for . He said, sure will. He had no idea my brother had the rifle as he had delivered it to someone else who then delivered it to my brother. That guy had since died also. He was happy, I was relieved. Every firearm had to be registered in the log book if it stayed overnight at brothers place so don't know how that slipped through. I did pay him out of the donations that had come in for his funeral, gave balance to church so it was not money out of my pocket.
 
I bought a trailer at an auction in florida a few years ago.The trailer hitch had sank into the sand and the tongue was about 6 inches lower than my truck hitch.I couldn't lift it and stood there staring at it when an old man in bibed
overhauls asked if he could help.I thought to myself "what's he going to do". Two teenage boys were walking buy and the old man said "hey you guys,come help this man hook his trailer up" The two boys came right over and lifted the tongue up.The old man said "it's kind of nice to have an old boy from kentucky around ain't it" and walked off.
 
How much would the baler cost on the open market?
If you're going somewhere else and pay more whats the point? The next guy you buy from may have bought the one he has at a bargain too.If that guy had found a bag of cash with $4000 in it would you expect him to sell it for $3000 just because he was making a good profit at $3000?
And of course I've seen what happened to you happen many times thats why I get there early because the 1st item might be the buy of the day.
 
Understand WB,

My whole post was trying to show the counterpoint to each discussion to show that it all depends on your point of view as to who is right.

I was that guy one time, got to an auction too late, guy bought the part I needed for $20, I gladly paid him $40 without thinking twice. The gas to get to the dealer would have been $15.

Rick
 
was exactly in that same boat last summer. bidding on a old buzz saw. i really didnt want it too bad, but i thought someone might so i bid it up to $50. Another fellow bid sixty and bought it. Laying in another pile was the other half of it,since i was bidding on both piles i didnt say anything at first. but when i didnt win the first i asked the fellow if he knew what he had bought so he could get the rest of it. I got a smart alek answer that it wasnt his first rodeo and the crowd laughed. I bought the second pile for less than scrap price,made sure he knew in front of everyone i now owned half his machine, and that it wasnt for sale, and loaded it up. i got scrap ,he got scrap, he could have had a working machine if he hadnt been a idiot about it. Would have gladly gave it to him.
 
That $150-200 was the price tag on them when on the dealer shelf as having never been used and just as if they were that day bought from the dealer so that is easy to say what they are worth at curent dealer price that if paper work could have been found could have been returned to dealer for that in refund. And for the brackets he said the auctioneer DID SAY the brackets were there and went with the loader so he did not buy the loader without the brackets but to settle it would have had to have marked the loader as no sale as not being as sold and then if the auction was still going on then go back and resell it as without the brackets. I don't go to many sales but do know several auctioners pretty well as friends and family.
 
wow, my view of you sure has took a flaming nose dive in less than a day. and yes i'm sure you will still sleep tonight. if we end up at the same sale, i'll pay the loader $100 up front and $100 after to load you and i last.
 
Some of these things I am reading about here have me confused. It's ok to teach "lessons" to people by profiting from their lack of "paying attention" at an auction because everything is "as-where is" or in other words "buyer beware"

Ok got it.....Now....If a farmer goes to a landowner and offers him more rent because the current tenant is not "paying attention" to the current rent market boom then that farmer is greedy. Right? If somebody farms 4000 acres and goes after a 40 acre kicking off the long term tenant then that guy has something coming to him. Right??? If the BTO says that it's "just business" and "capitalism" then everyone jumps up and down and talks about the old days and the death of morals.......

JD Seller- Thanks for putting yourself up for scrutiny and ridicule, you seem to be a true gentleman. It seems you have chosen to live your life on just one side of the fence and I salute you for it.
 
Judging by some of the responses I've read I suspect some of you don't go to many auctions.
I used to go to at least three auctions a week. I still go to allot but not nearly that many anymore. I think some of you have very unrealistic expectations. There's an old saying...there's no friends at an auction. That may be a slight exaggeration, but when the good stuff is on the block things can get very competitive. Friends or not.
TF, I've paid the loader operator too, but never before the sale. That's actually a good idea. Especially if you're far from home and have a long drive ahead of you. The same guys that you're paying to get ahead of wouldn't think twice about cutting you off to get ahead of you in line to load up.

I collect gas pump globes. In my early collecting years I made the mistake on depending on a couple of "experts" at a sale. Both guys were heavily into antique cars and dabbled in petroliana (fancy word for gas station collectibles). Anyway, there was a gas pump globe at the sale that I wanted but didn't know the value of. I asked one of the guys. He and the other "expert" looked at it then talked it over and agreed it was a reproduction. I didn't bid. It sold for $135 which was a huge amount for a repro at that time. Why would someone pay that much for a repro? Sometime later I asked a real expert about it. Turns out it was a fairly rare globe worth about $400 at the time. Lesson learned......don't go to an auction uneducated about the things you want to buy.
 
No I did not. If you read my post carefully you would see that I told the auctioneer and he announced that the "new" plow parts would fit the plow that was selling later in the sale. I did not hide or cover up anything.

I bought them and planned on buying the plow. It just went for more than I wanted to give.

Also I went to the guy that bought the plow and told him what I gave for the parts and about what they would cost new. I let him put what he felt was a fair price on them. I did not asked for half new or actually any price at all. He told me what he would give for them. I accepted his offer. We both where happy.

I bet the guy that bought the loader brackets was not happy. I know the auctioneer was not happy having to referee an issue at the sale. The owner just wanted the stuff gone for a fair price. So the only person happy in that transaction was the guy that resold the loader brackets.
 
s.crum you are so right - I am continually amazed at how a young, new worker can't grasp that work rules are for their own good.
 
(quoted from post at 06:43:56 01/04/13) You bought them and sold them at a profit knowing they belonged with the plow.

I don't agree with that. They were parts that fit the plow. But because they would fit other plows they did not belong with that plow. I've been to more than one auction where parts for something was there and sold seperate from the item they fit. In almost every case the auctioneer has announced that these parts are A. new or used and B. fit this piece of equipment that will be sold later if he knows what the parts fit. I think it has affected the price of the piece of equipment when it sold later but if they are a in demand part it may be smarter to sell seperate.

Rick
 
The plow was able to be used just like it sold. The parts I bought where replacement parts that the owners had on hand for the plow. The buyer of the plow did not want the parts.

In the case of the loaders brackets the loader could not have been used without a set of brackets.

If a fuel storage tank is sold at a sale it does not go with a tractor because the fuel would be used in the tractor.
 
This past year was a big one for auctions in my area. I went to five.

One, friends of mine were there looking at haywagons (as I was). When I found which one they wanted, it made sense to me to stay out of it. They didn't bid on things wanted, either.

Another one, I bought a bunch of old shields because I wanted a particular Ford one. Didn't really need it, but it was the swing up kind which my then-biggest tractor didn't have. $15. When I was loading them I found I had the U shaped PTO shield for the Deere flail mower another fellow bought. I found him and handed it to him. Very happy guy. Sure surprises people when you do that.

The last auction I bought a big old Ford tractor, my now biggest. When I went to drive it home I found the proof meter cable had disappeared after it was sold. Did get to use the shield I bought earlier for [i:6821e28af7]this[/i:6821e28af7] tractor.
