I was 16 when a family friend introduced me to Reeds Auction. It was run by a family of Arkies. Every Saturday they had an auction starting with miscellaneous in the morning, chickens and livestock in the afternoon. The first thing I saw sold was an old flywheel engine, the rod cap was off and Babbitt was shot. It sold for $1.75. I wanted one in the worst way. I was hooked, I went every week, never saw another one. They would sell boxes of contents. Start at $5, come down to $2.50 right away. If the bidding didn't start at 50 cents they would start putting boxes together. I don't remember the first thing I bought but it was mostly farm related stuff. I would holler "yeah" to get the bid and just nod after that. I still have an old gas pump I bought for $2.50 which was big money at that sale. I bought my first tractor at a different auction that same year. A Cletrac AG for $350. I did find an engine at a junk store for $35, I still have it, it used to run.

He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
