I think the economy is still weak and I don't think it would take much to tip us into recession. The rural economy has been ignored and is very weak. I guess we don't vote for the "right" folks.
A local consignment auction last Sat. had more tractors and equipment consigned than he had every had in 26 yrs. doing that sale. He even ask in the on-line ad to save things to the June auction as they were full up. Had over 35 tractors (about a quarter of them should have been scrapped) and equipment in 4 long rows that must have been a 1/4 mile long each. Stuff like I've never seen at that sale in the 5 yrs. I've been attending. Started selling at 10:00 with 4 rings, I got what I wanted and got out about 5:00, they had to have been there selling until dark. Had scrap been a good price that sale would have been more normal size, IMHO.
A few bargains to be had, from what I could tell, but with 4 rings going couldn't watch it all. In addition to a few small items I got a nice new 3 pt. carry-all for $100, a new 3 pt. 4' rock rake for my SCUT for $240 and a 5000 watt portable generator with a Subaru engine for $60, it was like new. I paid over $650 for a new one of the same size at the big box store. The clown helping the auctioneer couldn't get it started so others must have been afraid of it. I knew it would start, have the same issue with mine after it sits for awhile. Got it home and sprayed some carb cleaner in it, choked it, and it fired right up and ran great. With a little more cleaning and oil change and fresh gas I'm good to go.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
