We had an auction just east of Calgary on the weekend and the price of two of the tractors seemed very bizarre. The first tractor to sell was a McCormick-Deering W-4. It started but was not running well, obviously had a bunch of home-brewed modifications made to the electrical system and was generally in poor shape. (Rusty, oil leaks everywhere etc). This tractor sold for $750.00 CDN. The next tractor to sell was an IH 706. This tractor was in amazing condition. The diesel fired up quickly and easily after a long cold night (no, they didn't warm it up - I was there quite early). Everything worked VERY well and it ran like it just rolled off the show room floor. This sold for $1100.00 CDN. Now, I am still no expert on tractor pricing in Alberta but I have been to a lot of these auctions. The W-4 went for way more than usual and the 706 was a steal. I guess that is why auctions still attract me. If I had know all my facts I would have had a really good square baler for $500. Oh well, I just thought you folks might be interested in knowing some current tractor prices up here in Western Canada. BTW - I have seen the 706 working HARD in the fields every day since the auction. What a pretty sight. Sean in Calgary

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
