Thanks to those that came I had fun and hope to meet you fellows again.

All in all it was a fun day. Not a big crowd but several familiar faces. I had a nice time visiting with people. Chris (cggas) and I did not bump heads once on the bidding, there was plenty for all. All the pumps were rough but I had a field day buying parts. It did not take long for the auctioneers to remember my number if you know what I mean. I parted several pumps out on the spot and gave the scrap man my leftovers, in return he let me pick off his pumps. I bought all the W80 doors and let the scrap man have half of them but I still have plenty. Posted a picture of my trailer, the truck bed was loaded also.

Did scrap dealer remove/buy all 6ft'r in weeds behind your trailer Tom ?
Looks like a 371 side panel that tallgye49 is looking for in there !

Dick,

Actually that picture was taken back home before I started to unload. That pile of pumps in the weeds are my real junkers that don't have much left. The sheet metal on the Bennett is very rough to the point I would not offer it for sale unless somebody could see it in person.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the auction site. The owner had arranged everything in 5 neat rows about 75 yards long out in a cow pasture. Made for nice loading, just drive up and down the aisles and look for your number written on the lot you bought.

Tom.
