Went to the auction, and came up empty.
Kubota B7100- Well used, brought $3,700- it did have power steering, but just too much for what was there.
Kubota B7150- As someone said, twice the tractor of the 7100- but this was set up for mowing- turf rears, auto type tires on front, belly mount mower, no 3 point. Just wouldn't have worked for her. Didn't see it sell.
Ford 1710- more of a tractor than the Kubotas- pretty good shape, but no power steering, and it would just be too much for my poor little (5" 2", eyes of blue) girl to handle. Sold for about $2,750, and if it had PS, would have been at my place by now.
IH 244- nice little rig. I thought I might steal it, because they drive all the wheel tractors through a building for bidding, but the tracked stuff and such they have in back of the building and you walk through it for the bidding. The little IH had a flat front tire, so it was out back instead of driving through. So they started it, but didn't run it long enough to see if the smoke would stop. But I needn't have worried- it brought $4,400!
Some real bargains- a very nice JD 4630 struggled to get 8 grand. Excellent David Brown 1210 (I think- at least it was the big one) at about $2,000. But the one I really had to sit on my hands for was a Ford 3000 diesel (marked "super dexta"- what does that mean?) brought $1,200. Ran great, looked fine, but I hadn't been interested so hadn't looked at it closely. Maybe water in oil, or something, but it sure ran fine. Dunno.
All the replies I got on the original post (its about 5 pages back, now- things move fast here!) were right on target and very helpful- thanks to all.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that this Major was produced late 1946. It was almost complete but had various parts that would definitely need replacing.
