    What I do like about online auctions is the ability to put in a stink bid on something that I only want if the price is right, but don't need. I wouldn't drive halfway across the prairies expecting something to be dirt cheap, and the auctioneers laugh at me if I try to put in a proxy bit for really cheap, but I can do it online and most of them past harmlessly, but every once in awhile one succeeds and didn't require any effort.
    Although once I put two stink bids on two different versions of the same item and forgot about them, and got them both and had to drag one back to another auction.

      Once in a while they have surprisingly modern items. But yeah, they are the guys who take on auctions that aren’t worth it for other outfits.

            They’re for Babba and Guido who don’t got that internet thing figured out yet. Sadly that generation is dying out and so is the auctioneer doing these small sales.

                  There is no "really good" standard shift.

                    Parts no longer available last I heard.
                    Unless you go far enough back to get the truck transmission.

                      So why are guys paying ridiculous amounts for older tractors if no parts available?
                      Does not make sense unless they will be decorations in the yard .. ?

                        Maybe because as of today, parts aren't available for new equipment either.

                        The difference being, a local machine shop can make a shaft or gear for a mechanical shift, but the local blacksmith will have trouble making the computer chip for the new equipment when it breaks down.

                          Parts are available for older tractors, pretty much every tractor I have I also have a pair and a spare of the same model.
