I've seen used Schwartz wfe's for $400 to $750, depending on condition, whether you got hubs, etc. New ones [for a 560, at least] do run about $1000-1200 by the time you figure in freight. Maybe more, given fuel prices.
BUT-- after all the hassle and chasing around and phone bills to ASAP, and being broken down with hay on the ground and rain on the horizon, and still never finding a spindle, well, what's that worth?

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens.
