It often pays to hang around to the end of an auction, most folks have left and bargains pop up. I wimped out yesterday and left the auction I was at after standing for 3 1/2 hours in 38 degrees and heavy rain. I was so cold and wet when I got home that my wife couldn't understand me. The only money I spent was the $5 I gave to the guy on a 5300 Deere 4WD that pulled me out of the mud. He was REAL busy yesterday.

I am glad I did not make it now Joe ... did not sound fun ... I wound up going to Pottstown today ... because they had an emergency that had to be taken care of.

Pigsitter, What a deal! I see the rear blade has a short piece of what appears to be train track, must be there for weight. That in itself is well worth the money. I have a couple chunks of track that I use as anvils, you can really hammer metal on a piece of train track! You really scored with this purchase! Oh, and the blades are nice too! LRWheelman
