I think I did luck out a little, its a fixer upper, but after missing out on one right here in town, and another west of here in nice shape, for a little more, finally I had the funds at the right time for this one 138 miles away. Everything I have ever bought similar seems to have gone that way, but in good faith I read the ads all the time, as many times daily as I can, that is addicting. I had pondered this one too, farther away, missing the disc sweeps/cleaners/clod breakers, I can likely fab those and install. We planned a trip to a favorite place, the Harpoon brewery, go have lunch and meet our friends that live in NH, but were from around here, it was only 13 miles away, so I called the seller, planned to get it 2 weeks ago, but it was froze into the ground, his loader was down too, so it I got it done yesteday. 3 gangs are tight and seem just fine, one gang the pans are loose, and he had to use a agrisupply part that fits ok, so I'll look into that, get a parts book, make a post or 2 about it here, a fixer upper needing some work, but not bad, he gave me the original bearing caps, extra pans, and I liked the guy enough to not even haggle, it was fair at 5 bills, always a good story behind these buys, and so far, the nicest people you get to meet.
I am not sure where you are, but I do keep an eye out, be glad to pass on anything I find, I know the deal, limited funds, have to be in the right place at the right time with available funds, and twice now I passed, because of both, well the one in town sold so fast I had no chance. I think it pays off, just keep looking, always happens but sure takes some time, and you do not always get the deal. I don't know if its luck or what, really strange that if I get it in my head, what I want or need when it comes to these kinds of things, and it may take some time, I'll be darned one day it just happens, I think that in itself is something, the darned iron is nice too but... in short, I'm just thankful at this point, I have what I need, its paid for and its a little easier to do. Someday all of it will be sold off, when I can no longer do this work, I hope when that day comes I can tell the story behind each item I sell and wish the best to whomever buys it.
I see the prices of these things by dealers or similar, they sure do ask for a lot more. I really enjoy implements, great subject to post, thanks for that !!!

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
