Not sneaky.... just happened to be using my own Fotki page and thought I
would
check your site to see if you had any of the sale tractors posted yet.
BINGO ! There they were. :-)
I have decided that at these prices it is too late for me to start my 30
series collection. Should have started it 10 years ago.

>>
>> On the 32 D we all stood around dumbfounded as the
>> crowd stopped bidding around 5K and the two of the
>> auctioneer's guys bid against each other with cell
>> phones. One caller was lost for a moment and the got
>> him back and went on. Personally I think that was BS.
>>
>>
>> It seemed to me like they lingered on sold a lot
>> longer than any other aucion I had been to before
>> actually selling the item. The Lindeman was not
>> running, would not steer, and had a blade buy was

>> 4K. Oh well.
>>
>> If anyone else went and knows what the Yahkima
>> hitch went for of the 38" cast center wheels I would
