"Rare" has already been discussed several times so I'll let it be, but I usually search the photo ads here and my local CL Farm&Garden at least every couple days...the newest one I have noticed is "it's worth more than that in in parts." Doesn't that just scream "I know I'm asking too much so I'm on the defensive already?" The other one is "if it doesn't sell by (you fill in the date) it goes to scrap!" Like there are a bunch of us with pockets full of money sitting around waiting to overpay to save some poor tractor/implement from goin to scrap? Local guy has 3 straight H Farmalls that range in condition from real bad to worse...started out asking $1200 apiece. once he finally got down to "best reasonable offer" I called, (They had been gonna go to scrp "tomorrow" if not sold for about 3 weeks now.) I suggested $350 each and he asked if I was scrapping them, I said no my intent was to see if I could piece together 1 or maybe two out of the 3 along with some other parts I have around. His answer was "well they are worth $900 each for scrap, and if you aren't scrapping them they should be worth more than that." I said "actually they are worth between $450 and $600 each for scrap, and that is if they are sitting on the scales at the scrap yard, obviouosly you don't have the means to haul them or they would have been scrapped, even if I were going to scrap them it costs money for each trip to your house from mine then to the scrap yard, so paying you more than scrap value is a loser to me." I thanked him for his time and told him if he changed his mind the offer stood and please give me a call. His answer? "I'd rather scrap them then sell them for that price!" LOL

Today's Featured Article - 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
