Auctions Can Be "Rare Stuff"

By Joe-Bob Jessup

Redneck Ranch.,P.O. Box 118, Clarcona, Florida 32710-0118

Every second Friday of each month I attend the Ocala, Florida Farm Machinery Auction. There are bargains (and not so bargains) to be found there. And some real rare stuff. Couple of months ago there was a Case VAC tractor with a Wisconsin V4 engine in it, and an ancient Cletrac with a Ford V8 flat head replacement engine. I bought the long (pictured) riding mower (a Sears, I think) without mower deck or engine. The tractor had been cut in two and lengthened to an eight foot wheel base. A rack had been built from steering wheel to front axle to haul potted plants in a plant nursery. The darned thing has three speed high and low range transmission. I fixed it up for fun trips in sandy fields. Perfect toy for a 74-year-old "kid."
