John, did you happen to notice if the John Deere was a high base or throttle
governed? These would get that price easily. Looked at the picture but don't
think it is a high base....could be wrong. ( usually am )

Hi Jeff,
    I believe the biggest reason some of the engines went for so much was
the fact that so many of the buyers knew the gentleman that owned them
before he died. Not only did he do superb jobs on restorations & getting
engines running, but he went the extra mile for anyone (myself included),
new to the hobby, or if they just needed a hand with an engine problem. He
knew alot about mags & was the one to go to around here for help. So, we
knew that all of those engines at the sale were in top knotch condition.
   Also, the Sattley was in original condition with a Sattley decal on it.
Don't you think it looks like one?
John
