Some times low ball bids work out pretty good, like you and your fire wood. Most folks would have to pay to dump it some where.
'Bout 10 years ago a buddy of mine was want'n a track hoe real bad, just hated to spend the money for one. Had one he was look'n at, nice used job on the local Cat lot for I think at the time was right at $60,000 or so. A city just north of here was take'n bids on clear'n out a log jam at the mouth of a creek right at the mouth where it dumps in the river. He bid $60,000 think'n the job could pay for the hoe. Went to the bid open'n and every one else had bid at least $125,000, he was sick think'n he had really messed up. Went and bought his hoe, hauled it to the creek where the log jam was, unloaded it and poked around on the jam for about an hour try'n to learn how to use it. Right at dark it was start'n to cloud up so he pulled the hoe to the top of a hill and went home. Next morn'n we had got about 3" of rain and he had knocked the pile of logs around enough to get them loose, they were no where to be seen. $60,000 for an hour of work and 40 miles haul'n wasn't the bad deal he though it was going to be.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
