Went to the auction, and came up empty.
Kubota B7100- Well used, brought $3,700- it did have power steering, but just too much for what was there.
Kubota B7150- As someone said, twice the tractor of the 7100- but this was set up for mowing- turf rears, auto type tires on front, belly mount mower, no 3 point. Just wouldn't have worked for her. Didn't see it sell.
Ford 1710- more of a tractor than the Kubotas- pretty good shape, but no power steering, and it would just be too much for my poor little (5" 2", eyes of blue) girl to handle. Sold for about $2,750, and if it had PS, would have been at my place by now.
IH 244- nice little rig. I thought I might steal it, because they drive all the wheel tractors through a building for bidding, but the tracked stuff and such they have in back of the building and you walk through it for the bidding. The little IH had a flat front tire, so it was out back instead of driving through. So they started it, but didn't run it long enough to see if the smoke would stop. But I needn't have worried- it brought $4,400!
Some real bargains- a very nice JD 4630 struggled to get 8 grand. Excellent David Brown 1210 (I think- at least it was the big one) at about $2,000. But the one I really had to sit on my hands for was a Ford 3000 diesel (marked "super dexta"- what does that mean?) brought $1,200. Ran great, looked fine, but I hadn't been interested so hadn't looked at it closely. Maybe water in oil, or something, but it sure ran fine. Dunno.
All the replies I got on the original post (its about 5 pages back, now- things move fast here!) were right on target and very helpful- thanks to all.
