Nick,
Those steel wheels are quite valuable here in Amish country!
Things still follow me home from shows and auctions, but i quit bringing my trailer or the Box truck!

The Amish were there and bidding on a lot of old equipment on steel. They bought one of the 3 threshers/seperators, my friend ended up with a wooden one in decent shape for $300. They were also very interested in the lever operated drag saw that I bought.

I gave $650 for the F-12, and I know I would have to pay more than that for just the wheels. Front steel alone can bring $500-600. The block had been welded up (from not draining the water), but looks to be a very old repair and doesn't show any signs of leaking after the repair.  A running F-12 in this area on rubber is very common and only worth $400-600 so if I end up having to buy a parts F-12 I won't be out much.

I went to the auction in my car, so I was sure to win one of the tractors  :D
