"Some people think that that is foolish as I MIGHT have gotten it cheaper. Well If it is worth 10K and I am getting it at $7500 then it still deal."
Maybe, but the last major piece I bought was something so heavy I didn't really want to have to move it. An 11,000 lb 3 drum sander with a cast housing occupying 8' x 9' of shop floor. I was hoping somebody would go $1000 or so and relieve me of any responsibility.
Nope. The auctioneer finally got down to $100. I yelled out $50. Auctioneer thought that was great, anything to get the bidding started. It was the only bid. I had to move it after all.
Even better, a guy there noticed I was braver (dumber?) than most and after the auction asked if I would buy more woodworking tools. I ended up with a 24" variable speed planer with built-in knife grinder and a lovely Crescent bandsaw that I didn't want. 3 phone calls to friends and the Crescent was gone for twice what I paid, still a great deal for my friend. That seller was so happy, he delivered them.
I kept 20,000 lbs of old tooling, all working, and spent under $500, plus $150 for the rollback.
I haven't attended a nice old farm auction for years. Guess those old guys all died. My accumulation will be an interesting auction.

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
