http://www.garnavilloauction.com/ web bidding page 7 item 347. Leave a bid if that is what you are looking for. If you leave a bid for any amount you can get it much cheaper. She runs a top notched auction house, very professional. She has been checked many many times, and she does not call bids from the air to get to the max. amount you offered as a bid. She can be trusted 100%. In case of a tie bid with a in person bidder you loose. She takes all bids from the crowd, then checks the screen to see if there is a left bid that tops the crowd bid. You will get it for a dollar more (next bid).

She has promoted her business very well with the being trusted home town, hand shake style. She has been forced to be a little firmer than when she first started, as you can't imagine the folks that will try to mess with her.

If you have any problems with a cc transaction tell her to use my bid number 2 Dave Bacon, she will no doubt ask me, and I will confirm this.

Sorry I can't guarentee me being there at the bid time, I'm in a small town--EMS & fire dept. I would not feel comfortable saying I would be there.

Any questions call collect 563-964-2670, or cell 563-880-4018 please do NOT leave a message. It also takes me a while to dig the cell out of a dozen layers of clothing, but I will certianly make every attempt to respond.

Happy new year NE IA

Dave, Remember last week when I met you, you showed me that 2 bottom AC plow? You said that it would plug real bad when plowing stalks. I found this pic of my Ford plow I took this fall whill goofing around at the neighbors place. As you can see, I know the feeling.

My conversation with you was a plesant experiance, and you seem like a role model gentelman.
Although at this time things did not go as expected you were still very plesant about the whole ordeal.

I will say with plows plugging up we used to get off and kick the crap out of the stalks, perhaps harder than we thought because of the constant challange.

The old trip bottom plows would plug, then the land wheel with the lift would just slide in the dirt so it would not raise at all. We would stare at the first stalk wrapping, then two, three etc. Often you knew that certian amount that was the max for easy cleaning, yet heck no we would just have to chance it unplugging by itself...odds were 1 --100 but ya just were to lazy to get off and do it when it was still easy.

We tried dragging log chains, we tied them with a twine string up high on each bottom, and when it got plugged pretty good we would pull the knot from the tractor seat, thus dropping the log chain on top of the heap. The chain would then get partualy plowed under pulling downward over the pile. That way you avoided getting off the seat till the next time it plugged, thenyou kicked the stalks out with a log chain making things worse. I once doubled the chain back to the seat of the tractor and was going to pull when it started to plug. Dad never did find out how the seat on the tractor got bent, and I never showed him my sore hand either.

Probably took more time than it was worth, but ya had to keep trying something.

By the way did you find out anything about that ford hitch? That is kinda bugging me so I think while I'm trying to avoid income tax preperation I will jump to the ford fourmn.

Have a good one NE IA
