Perhaps I will open a can of worms, but auctions are usualy in fact a business, thus they want to make the most profit possible. I give a helping hand to a few auctioners. I also try to get into everyones heads. For instance if you watch a ring man very carfully he may say yep yep yep to the auctioner--watch his hands -- many use a open hand for air bids--and a closed fist for a actual bid. Ever go to a truck load tool auction? Listen for the lot number--say lot number 50 ---if you get a $100.00 dollar bid they have lots to sell-otherwise only one. Some divide the number in 1/2 for a code-thus lot 100 must bring $50.00. Another ring man tip off is to cry yep yep yep--once they get a actual bid the ring man taps the auctioners toe with his. Another is yep yep yep--and then a yea--the yea means a actual bid. If a auctioner has a old tractor collection, best not go to his sales as he will take the bargins home. This changes nothing if the tractor is worth the money to you. Dave NE Iowa

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
