Auctions are still an art as some one said. Auction prices are alot of the time dependent on the weather. Small auction companies offten don't advertise well and have a low turnout. Have not spent but $50 at auction this winter, got a little trailor made from an old toyota truck. Went to a sale a few years ago, spent $200 and hauled stuff the 4 miles home for 3 days. Made my money back off the 3000 tobacco sticks I bought that the auctioneer and nephew of the old man who owned them figured was 500. Still use'n the gates and fence post from there, as well as the 300 gallon fuel tank, and A frame with a winch.
A few weeks after this sale I watched a BOR restored H bring $2100, it's just a crap shoot. If stuff is going stupid eat a hot dog, talk to some people, and watch the side of the road for a deal on the way home.
Never go to an auction with any plans other than burning a day pulling a trailor around and talking to some nice folks, if you get a good deal on something you need or can turn around, you have had a good day, if not you won't be so mad.
Also, my 7' bush hog that I use I picked up for $100, I was the opening bid. Every one thought it was locked up. I figured I could use the pto shaft and the rest of it would scrap for that. Turns out it was just setting on some rough concreat and would not turn by hand with the blade in a bind.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
